This might sound funny but with 1966 it is best to take a nice clear picture of the warranty plate and then you can zoom in on it.

OK, now you got us all curious. Is your truck the first known truck with a tu-tone paint that doesn't include Wimbledon White or not? You gonna leave us hanging?

15" wheels were standard equipment, 16" wheels were optional.

Note: 1966 F100 could have innie or outie wheels/hubcaps.

Innie: So called because the hubcap snaps over tabs located on the inside of the wheels center section.

Outie: So called because the hubcap snaps over tabs located on the outside of the wheels center section.

My 1966 Salesmens Fact Book says 3 possible sizes of rim diameter for F100 2-Wheel Drive Series.

Standard:
15"
Optional:
16"
17.5"
