Korin, Welcome to

and the Slicks Forum.

The truck in the photo is NOT a 66, it appears to be about a 1960.

The 72 is not a bolt on although with enough talent should be made to ride on the chassis.

Actually, that's not the original body either. Thanks for the advice

Oh OK, I see you have edited the original, we can only go by what you post.

I hope you can make your project work.

To update any who may want to know: 1966 f250 4x4 chassis & drivetrain; 1960 f100 Custom Cab; 1959 hood; 19?? bed. Drive past the '59 stepside truck the hood came from regularly. This '66 has been in this neighborhood for over 30 years, used hard but it's a Timex, just keeps on ticking.

I think you should rip that body off, drop it in a field, and ship the chassis to me!

Seriously if you decide to sell it I would probably be interested, depending on where you are located.
