66 Custom Cab details...(?)

I'm slowly trying to bring my truck to the custom cab trim level and have most of everything including door pocket, door trim, body badging...etc.

Recently, I acquired a dash from a 64 custom cab...but it seems to be that the custom cab from the 66 had the sweeping speedometer while the one I picked up has a round speedometer, rpm guage, air gauge and three other smaller holes punched in it. Wouldn't this be from an F600 since it has an air gauge?

Is this correct...or was the sweeping speedometer from the ranger package?

Would someone be able to direct me to a site that has pictures and or specifications of a 66 custom cab. I've looked in the galleries, but am not sure if the ones I view are actually stock or custom. If someone could email me or send me pics of their custom too it would be great!

My email is **pmatimmins AT yahoo DOT com.

Hmmm...

After a little more digging

I found another thread detailing a 66 100 vs a custom.

I would however still like pics or a brochure if someone would be kind enough to help.

Hey Thanks very much CS65!

That's exactly what I was looking for as far as details are concerned...

Do you know where I can see some photos of the brochure, or at least some pics of a 66 CC?

camperspecial - thanks a bunch for that info also. My interior looks mostly original except for the added AC system and underdash CD player and I've got all those trim items you mentioned above. I have the Custom Cab chrome strips in both doors as also required for the package. However, I was worried that it might not a "true" CC since I don't have the exterior side chrome moldings (nor dual-tone paint for that matter). I've seen a number of pictures of other CC 65/66 F100's without the side moldings (and single color scheme) and I believe someone posted here in a previous thread that it was an additional option (which a large % of CC's got) but was not a mandatory factory installed item. Can you confirm?

I transcribed the Camper Special options from the facts and figures manual for '66, not sure how much is different year to year.

Dagger....The book I have is broken up as far as cab stuff,pkg details, etc. As to moldings, thry are optional on the stylesides...this includes the t/light bezels too....I have seen trucks w/ C/C and w/o moldings too....
std is single color on all body styles...there is 2 options...
A tutone regular....all cab models, And a deluxe tutone-stylesides only---which includes the aforementioned body moldings above.

Hope this helps, cs65
