The new 66

So just picked up the 1966 f100 yesterday. Should be a really fun and long project. It's got the 352 and a 3 speed. New rims and tires. Little rusty but I don't mind. I'm hoping to get it running today. The mechanical fuel pump went out so I replaced with an electric one. Gotta get more fuel line then should hopefully be running because it runs on starting fluid. I'll see if I can figure out how to get a pic on here.

Nice looking ride. It appears to be mostly surface rust so you are off to the races. I hope your new electric fuel pump does not overpower the carb.
