look what i bought
this guy dint know what he was selling clasic ford f100 6cyl FOR SALE ,picked it up friday morning for the $400. the pics in the ad are before they guy started to strip it down. the only thing that ive found wrong with it is that the front wall on the bed and center bed floor by the front wall are rusted through. ive got a 65 bed that all beat up on the sides, but has a perfect floor so ill just swap the front wall and center bed floor.

H = Sahara Beige
481: 4 = Medium Beige Crush Vinyl & Medium Beige Wicker Pattern Vinyl / 81 = 81A Standard Cab.
C = Ford type 3.03 3 Speed Manual all Syncromesh Transmission.
09 = Ford 9" Rear Axle / 3.70-1 / non Limited Slip / 3300 lb. Rear Axle Capacity.
72 = San Jose (NorCal) Ford District Sales Zone Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.
I can't quite make out the hubcaps, do they match?
Left front appears to be off a 1965/66 Galaxie, left rear might be a 1962 Mercury.

Maybe his wife didn't like it. Mine wouldn't ride in my pickup because it was too loud. That's why my restoration is a little more plush. Also, it wasn't "shiny." If it wasn't my grandpa's truck, I probably would have caved to the pressure and sold it. In a young married couple, the wife holds all the cards =).

bigblock i think im going to keep it, its in alot better shape than my 65. as for the engine swap am just chuging along slowly gathering parts. i found a 4R70w out of a 95 F150 that had a 5.0l. i pulled the pan and rear housing on the tranny and all the bushing and hard parts appear to be ok. ill probally bolt it up to the 5.8l this week and fit the engine and tranny in the 66 F150. ill have to move the tranny mount but not much, the 4R70W is the exact same length as the NP i took out of the 65. i got my mass air computer and a few odds and ends for the engine as well as a rebuild manual for tranny. know that ive got a tranny that will fit under there things should start to move along.
as for the hub cabs they all match far as i can tell, it dont look bad with the white and the hub cabs. ill try and get some pics today and stick them in my gallery.
