Thread: Finally got my 66 F250 done

Tweet

Its done enough to drive but still need to get the wrap around step bumper blasted and painted

Looks great Jeff, very nicely done! All good things deserve a bit of extra time, right?

That's a great looking truck! Very nice.. how's the ride quality? LOL..

The truck looks great! Stock running gear, or did you play some? Sorry if you had a build thread and I've forgotten....

It has a 460/C-6 now and I dont think I had a build thread on here,probably should have put a 351-W/AOD in it but could not pass up a rebuilt motor and trans for 500 dollars.

Wow! It ought to scoot with a 460 if you can get it to hook up!! Sounds very cool! Maybe a few more pictures when you get time??

Wow, that was my impression of your truck when I saw the photo, a very nice very clean restored truck and then reading down the posts, I think, holy smolly, a sleeper or a wolf dressed like a lamb. That will certainly give the odd " Boy Racer " a fright at the traffic lights when you step on the loud pedal.

It's just beautiful Jeff.

Great looking truck & looks "Done" to me. Bet that 460 passes everything but a gas station out on the road. Makes me miss my 66 ford pu, was a well worn 2wd, 6 cylinder a very sloppy top loader in it w/about 250,000 on the meter when I got rid of it. By the time it was passed around among friends and left the area it had a 460 w/a 4x4 drive train in it.

The truck looks great, Jeff!! I also have a '66 but mine is a F100 shortbed. I'm sure yours will run circles around my little 5.0/AOD but I'm guessing you get to visit the gas stations more often, too.....

Are you also on FTE or Slick60's truck forums?

Yes it likes a little fuel and I am going to tune it and get overdrive to see if I can get about 16 to 18 out of it empty and not towing,around town its a little better then the original 352 but have not had it on the highway much. I am on the FTE and Slick60s forums.

Yeah, I thought the truck looked familiar. I'm on both, too.

Very Nice!!

Very nice,Jeff..I wouldn't have turned down that combo for $500 either.. Still thinking about something bigger for my 60 when the Windsor takes a dump,,whenever that will be.. been going for a number of years now..

If the 460 is a later model(post 73) you can up the performance and economy by using a earlier crank gear and advance the cam the 8 degrees they retarded it for smog-
