Im gonna have to pass I’m only 17 and I’ve been chasing a truck with those factory options and what’s funny is I have 4 Ford’s from 1960-1966 that are all factory automatics

That looks like a great find. Looks like an early 1966 with the metal plate on the cowl instead of the rubber plug.

Hey Branden-

This is Awesome! I grew up in Great Bend and my grandparents, Ervin and Monica Schneider, had a farm just outside of Olmitz. I learned to drive on his 1966 F250 Camper Special when I was around 12 years old. I just had it hauled up to Minnesota so I could get it up and running again.

Anyway, just thought it was cool that someone else on this forum knew where Olmitz was and that you found the same year of truck as mine. Best of luck on your project.

-Brandon
