66 4x4 ID

I found a 66 CC 4x4 for sale localy for 4k. it has a 352 with a 4 speed and a D21 T-case. The chassis is all stock other than a 3" lift. The body is a 6.8 out of a 10, but has the usual rust in the mounts and core support. The floors are shot all across. Is it worth 4 and how can I tell for sure that it is a factory 4x4 and a CC. It has a regular style side bed, not a box style bed.

Forum: California (Southern) and Hawaii Chapter

Thread: Pics from the F100 Supernationals Knoxville TN.

One of the pics (I took it) shows a beautifully restored tutone blue/white 1966 F100 4WD.

What you see is what it looked like brand new.

And, yes the wheel covers are correct, they were an option on F100 4WD's, standard equipment on Bronco's (1966 thru 1977), and are the same as 1966 Galaxies used.

If the truck you are looking at is an F100 4WD, the VIN will start out F11, if an F250 4WD, the first three digits of the VIN will be F26.

2WD's will be F10 or F25.

Why pay $400 when you can get one free?

While we were driving the back roads in SC on the way to the town of Union, we passed a 1965 F100 Styleside that someone had abandoned.

It was out in the middle of nowhere, with nary a building around. It was parked in the tall grass off SC322 about 100' west of where it crosses SC97.

The hood was lying across the bed, a sure sign something is amiss with the engine.

I posted this info in the SC Chapter in case anyone was interested.

btw: The back roads of NC, TN and SC are loaded with old cars/trucks of all descriptions. Far more than I've seen around these parts in quite a spell.

It's a good thing the wife was driving, otherwise...

Thanks ND, It does stare with F11. That's all I was needing.

When hunting these old rolling piles of misery, one develops a third eye for spotting them out behind the woodshed, in the weeds, behind gas stations, you name it.

The only problem when hunting old cars, is the roofs of VW Beetles have the same roof curvature that the 1930's/40's cars do.

I must gone back and looked at 500 of those damn V dubs, thinking they were something else.

Find in NC: A 1966 F600 Dump Truck rusting alongside a back road = it was a Custom Cab!
