The interior is not all original, the color of the seat upholstery is hard to make out in the pic. If it's black vinyl, it might be the original, any other color, it isn't.

The parking brake boot is incorrect, what's from I haven't a clue but it's not anything Ford did. The carpet is incorrect, only 1965/66 F100/250 Rangers had carpeting.

All 1961/66 F100/1100's except the mentioned 1965/66 Rangers had a full width rubber floor mat.

The padded dash may or may not be correct. It was mostly seen on 1965/66 Custom Cabs & Rangers, optional on others.

Post a pic of the Warranty Plate, riveted to the left door face below the latch. All the codes can be decoded.

Sweet truck! That 390 looks to be a little more than "warm" - any specs?

Yes boot is after market as I could not locate one. Floor mat is just home made by me, I could not find a replacement. Dash is original. The seat still had the tags on it and looked to be original and it is black vinyl. Guess I over stated the original interior claim. It has 54k original miles, never driven in winter. I did know the original owner who is now 93 years old. Built the truck for fun not concerned with perfect originality.

390 is stock forged crank, rods, Edelbrock heads with harland sharp rollers, quick fuel 650, 30 over, edelbrock air gap,headers to flow master 50's. Stock NP 435 trans with center force clutch to a Dana 60 with 411's. I will be doing the suspension when money allows, plan is to soften the ride, currently very rough. 375 HP ish, went for torque cam due to its weight.

Great F-350. My eye always goes to the wheels on a truck. Yours looks to be tubeless, maybe aftermarket 16.5s. Do you know what they are? Stu

Your new truck looks very much like the truck that was owned by Candoo.

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post15788555

He says in this thread that the wheels are Stockons.

It looks like your pictures are older ones that Candoo already posted some years ago. Are you the new owner?

In 1966 the padded dash was standard equipment on all cab models and the only Delete Option that the book shows is for the F250 4WD Series. Probably exceptions to the rule.

Same pictures, same truck. Custom Stocktons sounds right. Re-reading what I wrote in that old thread I should modify my comments to say that the OEM tall SRW option was the 19.5” x 5.25” Budd 70740 that would today use an 8R19.5” tire. I found a set of these recently and have them listed in the sell/swap thread. Stu

Yes i am the same owner (candoo) Could not find my old password and no longer have the old work email to change password. now retired and have time to work on truck and use the interweb. Sorry for the confusion. I believe I did add a bumper since last posting which required extending the frame. I just love driving this truck.Looking forward to Working on suspension to improve the ride.
