Dad's been gone 7 years time to put his/my truck back to a truck

After my dad's passing he left me this beautiful 1966 f100 factory 4x4 custom cab SHORT BOX!!! It's been 7 years now and I have gone though the mechanical and sealed everything back up, new paint job, replaced the 20 year old tires, and now moved it back to a truck by removing the canopy he always had on it. I'm just not a canopy guy. I also put a auxiliary fuel tank under the bed behind the rear axle. It takes some work so be prepared if you take this on!! I also wired the auxiliary sending unit using a switch so both tanks, while in use, will show on the fuel gague.

Nice truck, my favorite version of the Slicks. Great that you were able to keep your dad’s truck.
