After some polishing compound and wax.



Before:



Milky white oxidation

Added an OEM rubber floor and insulation after removing nasty carpet.

 

Very nice truck

 

nice truck

 

Thanks. Been a lot of work, and a bunch of things on my short list to do, but it runs pretty well now that it's tuned up (and has a new starter, and alternator/voltage regulator). I'll rebuild the carb and I then expect it to run perfectly. There are a couple of drips here and there that I'll fix one by one. Body is pretty solid though.

 

Good looking truck! Where did you find such a clean one?

 

Where did you get the OEM rubber mat? I'm needing one for my f-600.

Very nice looking truck you have there!

 

Rollsmojave3: Believe it or not I got the truck in NY (Hudson Valley area). Apparently it came from somewhere in the Southeast about 10 years ago. I thought it would need paint, but it polished and waxed up nicely.

Fordman67: I think I bought the mat from wither LMC truck, or NPD. Check those first. Once I know the part exists I do a google search to see if I can find it cheaper. Amazon.com has a lot of parts too.

Hope that helps

 

 

i can only hope my interior looks this sweet someday. very nice.

 

Thanks Svolpone. Don't look too close though . . . ;-)

 

Added a tonneau cover from CRAFT COVERS
They didn't list the '66 Shortbed on their website, but I called and gave them dimensions and they said they will start to list this model now. I picked them because they sold the least expensive covers I could find, but I was surprised at the high quality parts. All labeled made in USA although I wasn't expecting that because didn't see them advertising that on their site.

 

Looks good on there.... like the slim design

 

Thank you. It lies nice and flat. Does not cover the holes for the gate/fencing if I were to build one.
