Is this a '66?

First time posting on this section. I have a '69 F100 and spend my time over on the '67 thru '72 section.

I was driving around town today and noticed the truck in these pictures sitting beside a house. I stopped and knocked but no one came to the door. But....I came back later after work and the guy said he wanted to fix it up but had some health issues. He said he has an extra cab, two extra doors, a new carb, new floor pans, and a few more parts. He also has a 9" rearend that can be seen in the pictures, but he said it is locked up.

So...I asked what he wanted for it. He said he would not sell the truck alone, but would sell it with all the extra parts. He is asking $8,000.

He says it will run, but that doesn't tell me much.

Thinking about buying it, but not for $8k.

Anyone have any thoughts? I realize you don't know anything about the condition of the truck. Neither do I.

Thinking of offering him $5k. All he can do is say no, right?

Recently someone did the same thing and waited the guy out and he came down to the reasonable price, I'd act as if I might pay it and hear it run and whatever else and then make the right offer, in cash, and stick by it. He may come around. it does look pretty straight!

Go make him a offer.Not really that far apart on price. You know there is a asking price and taking price.

If all the parts are nice, 8K is not a bad place to start. All depends how bad he wants it gone and how much you want it. It is kind of hard to tell condition from the above pics and that is what price is all about.

Grille is 1966, left front fender emblem is 1965.

Last 6 digits of the VIN is the serial number, decodes to the month/year of assembly.

1965 F100/1100: 580,001-732,000

1966 F100/1100: 732,001-914,000

I would not pay anywhere near 8 grand if the truck cannot be test driven.

Also inspect carefully for rust.
