Newbie Looking for Idea's

Hey guys new to the thread and will be posting pic's of my truck soon. I have a few questions and I hope some of you guys can help me out. I am looking to put a roll cage inside my truck as well as get a front bumper for the rig. She is a 1966 f100 4x4 so I want the front bumper to have a spot for a winch. I am hoping the there is an aftermarket and I dont have to build one myself. Anyways...if you guys have links to websites on this it will be most appreciated...looking forward to chatting with you all!

I don't think you'll find much in the aftermarket for trucks that old.

You are probably right. Here is a question though. In that year is the frame the same as say a 76 ford F150? Just curious.
Thanks for all the help!

4X4 should be 67-79

2X4 65-79

both are for rear cab mounts forward. 73-79 2X4 chassis are 4 in wider behind the cab.

Havn't seen a roll cage in a 4x4, but a buddy had a 66 2wd pro-street style with a cage. Only place I saw a problem was vicinty of the inigition switch. His was a pita to use the key to crank it. Also I would relocate the fuel tank, he had a fuel cell in bed and the roll bar ran through the back glass area into the bed to frame. I assume your going to keep your cgae inside.
Hope my thought spark some ideals....
