I'd have to drive it more than that too. I'd have magnetic inner fender liners and 3M paint protection film everywhere but I'd be driving it whenever it's nice out.

Great article but I had to smile a little when I read the line that said it was in such good condition that it didn't require too much work.

Re: 1966 F100 Short/Fleet Full Stock Resto Build Thread
 

Nice article...congrats but following the build we know it was a lot of work and it's a lot nicer than new and is show quality.

Appreciate all the comments!!


The owner had the truck out at Blue Ridge Fest last weekend. We've been going the last 3-4 years and it's always a great show.

I worked on a summer job from college loading and unloading new Fords (including pickups) on and off rail cars (auto racks) in 1966. This was in the Strawberry Rail Yards of the L&N railroad, and just down the road from the Ford assembly plant in Louisville, KY. That truck looks as good or better than the brand new pickups I remember unloading every day. Seeing that truck brings back the new truck smell I experienced each day. Well done.
