but mechanically it is near perfect
The first pic is on a trip to wisconsin last year, three days after assembly.
Second pic is the cleansing process, it was a logging crew truck.

In Gladstone, just outside of Portland/Oregon city

 

Here's the 2006 I just bought to replace my 1966 which is on its last legs (wheels?). I like to get a new truck every 40 years or so.

 

Sweet Mike!! I like to get a used (new to me) truck every 15 years or so!!!

Looks like you in Brownsville Or Harrisburg by the building behind your truck, eh?

 

Yeah, I'm in the Harrisburg. I think I talked to you a couple years ago when I was in Iraq. Aren't you in Coburg?

 

Wow small world.... I work in Harrisburg at Knife River... I am just up the road from you guys...

 

Very Nice V10! Just purchase a 2000 F350 PSD crew cab and will post pics as soon as I can wash the red cinder dust off it. It's been a rough winter here on the high desert.

Well I used to work in Coburg but have lived in Harrisburg since '01. Glad your back in one piece! My brother in law is in Afganistan working for a contractor and may re-up for another year. Did you get your truck all fixed up? There was someone on craigslist looking for a 5sp for a ford truck was that you? Send me an email sometime if you need anything.

 

Welcome Layson and mayt444! We need to get something together for those of us in this part of the valley.

 

That wasn't me on Craigslist. The only time I've used it was to sell my 71 Bug, which went to a kid in Junction City.

When I got back from Iraq, I put power steering and power disc brakes on my 66. But other than that, I never got around to doing much to it except fixing it when it broke down. I was using it as a daily driver, and it's just not that pleasant to drive all the time. I don't have the time or money for a restoration, so I bought a newer truck and hopefully the 66 will move on to a better home one of these days.

 

Would be nice to get some events down here in the valley. I just got back from one up near Seattle on www.nwforddiesels.com we had a tech day up there.... Alot of fun and alot of trucks. I think a few turbos were pulled, gauges installed, front brakes, and a few other projects too.... Good group of guys with alot of knowledge...

A few of us are going up to a dyno in Portland this Saturday... then probably that evening head over to the raceway and do some drag racing... we shall see how it goes... should be fun though!!

 

Hello from La Pine everyone. Had a very nice sunny day today so went out and took some pics of the newest member of our very large family of vehicles! Just picked it up 2 weeks ago and have been spending lots of time getting the kinks out. Lots of nickle and dime stuff here and there, but I got a great deal on it so all is well. Got a K&N cold air intake kit on the way and Les Schwab will be putting new urethane bushings in the sway bar. It has the infamous "clunk". Also taking steps to diagnose the cruise control malfunction. Will be taking it to the dealer next week for the CMP recall. Also have some o-rings on the way to fix the fuel leak in the water drain valve. Now you know why I got a good deal! You should be able to see my pic by clicking the link below. I hope
