Thread: Found another possible vehicle

Tweet

In a town near mine theres a 1966 Ford F100, shortbed stepside for sale. I looked at it and there is bondo on the front fenders right infront of the tire and the bed is very solid, looked at the interior and it looks good, tried to pop the hood to see what motor it had, I figured it would have had a 6cyl or a 352 but I coulden't get the hood open ( might have not pulled the release far enough ), I called the guy and he said that it had a mustang 6cyl from a late 1960's mustang. (When I looked at the shifter, I figured out it was a 3spd on the floor and I thought it looked odd because it looked like that of what a 60's mustang would have, chrome with a white shift knob and that special angle that a lot of cars had such as the mustang and when I found out it had a mustang engine, I figured, it may have the transmission from the stang too but probably just the shifter ). The truck needs a clutch and the guy only wants 700 for it and that's negotible he said. I'm going to go back with the guy being there tonight or tomorronight ( it's not at his house, he lives in the boonies and would never sell it there ) and my mom wants my dad to look at it, also be able to buy it then if it is the right vehicle. Did I mention that it's 2wd. What do you guys think? I figured I could make profit when I sold it because the fenders and things are easy to find because of company's like LMC.

sounds like a good old truck those 66 look good lowered in the front 2" could make a good sleeper If ya loose that 6 banger just remember parts for a ford are a little more spendy then a chevy

I just want it for a daily driver and restore it kinda by putting new front fenders on because that's all it needs body wise.

Sounds good man. Are you using your car that you got now as a daily driver too? How is that thing comming along by the way?

Nope, the '51 will be a summer cruiser. I didn't get it registered yet because I never got the gas tank fixed. I have to finish the rest of the bodywork, prime and paint it next year but, I'm gonna put it in storage for the winter in a week or two
