Another B.A.T. '65 F100...
1965 Ford F-100 Custom Styleside 3-Speed for sale on BaT Auctions - ending June 13 (Lot #247,560) | Bring a Trailer
The truck's a decent driver but that paint? It needs to be either all brown or all tan. I'm not a fan of the soft topper either.

Mike - just a thought. Why not start one thread to house any B.A.T. vehicles you want to advertise on here. You could call your new thread something like
B.A.T.Mobiles
That way there is an easy method to read about all the fun in one place...

I also agree with TA's suggestion. Then we could all use it to show one that comes up.

I added a comment to this auction - probably get flagged as 'not constructive' but the build sheet shown for it is for a 120" wheelbase F11 - F100 4x4 with a J engine (223 or 240) with a different VIN. Seat likely swapped in from another truck since the build sheet seems to have lived under that seat it's life to the point it was removed.

Yes, I agree, the B.A.T.Mobiles, or the B.A.T.Trucks, or BATTeRucks

That's a great looking van! I had no idea that there was Eddie Bauer trim for those vans. Love the seats.

Nice Aerostar! I was never a fan back in the days but now it's kinda cool. At the first shop I worked at they had one for a company beater, that sucker took a ton of abuse and kept on going.

We had one on the sod farm growing up, it was the "water van" and that poor thing always had hundreds of pounds of hoses and sprinklers in it, got ran through the fields, you name it, and also got used as a taxi when needed, just emptied out the crates of hoses, probably why I'm fond of them, they take a lickin and keep on tickin!
