Ive seen a good number on trucks over the years...there are 2 variations though...the main guard is the same but there was also a brace kit that was a seperate accessory kit for it.

all in all, not a tough find IMO...farming areas would be a good place to search...or sandbelt wrecking yards...but the thing is, without any bracing, the sucker could/would easily mess up your nose a bit if it gets hit...or you lean over it hard while working on it...I believe theres good pics of the monster in the owners manuals of the 65 and 66 trucks...I got a 66 accessory book for all ford stuff ...originally 32.90...brace kit for it ran 9.35....the brace kit, according to the accy book is different between the F100 4WD and 2WD F100 and 250 trucks. The 2WD and 4WD trucks used different guards as well...keep in mind this is all from the 66 accy booklet...


btw...why part it if its complete and all...63 isnt too common nowadays....

Does the shirt come with it? It looks like it doesn't have any holes and original buttons too! I bet you could get some coin for it at the vintage clothes shop. Don't wash it; it would lose all its value.

The interior of the cab seems to also have been completely protected from the sun's harmful UV rays!

Nice Tucson Tin. The hood looks pretty straight! perfect candidate for that cowl hood. The eight lug innie rims are good to have also as are the other tin items. The cab will be a good rust free unit too.

I believe there's good pics of the monster in the owners manuals of the 65 and 66 trucks.

If you are confused on how the puppy works, you have my phone number. Gimme a call and I'll walk you thru it.

I have free calling (US/Canada), if you pass along your phone number, I'll call you.

The problem is, all you will see in the left column is: Section 10 Index thru Section 180 Index, followed by Body Section and etc.

When the CD was scanned, the clueless person who scanned it...omitted...what parts those sections refer to.

Note: The group numbers shown in the illustrations are the same as the part numbers shown in the text:

For example, the ('66) anodized grille is group (basic part) number 8200.

When you go to the text, adding the prefix (C6TZ) and suffix (B) gives you the complete part number: C6TZ-8200-B.

btw: You might consider starting off by reading thru TEXT = General Info Section.

The truck looks pretty good. After pulling the bumper and cleaning out your new "treasures", you should have a pretty decent truck. Do you know if it runs?
