1966 Ford F100 Daily Driver: Road Trip and Walkaround

I bought a 1966 Ford F100 pickup truck and drove it back from VA to MI, come along for the ride and a tour, and give a listen to the dual exhaust coming from that 390FE big block

Your so lucky I dreamed all my life to own one of those pickups . I’ll never get one . Honk the horn for me please .

That looks like it was a great find. I appreciated you pointing out that you didnt cut the speaker holes in the doors...that always makes me a bit sad as you can only cut them one. However im sure it gave you some decent tunes for the trip! I for one would be intrrested to see an update if you still have her. My 66 is within a month of being on the road and i cannot wait!

Great looking and a lot of fun to drive with that power steering.

Regular?! You need to give the old girl the premium nectar.

390 engine option in '66 was NOT available.

Nice! I have a 70 with a 390 and also had a 65 with a 390. You can only tell difference between 360 and 390 by measuring the stroke otherwise they’re indistinguishable. Good luck with it 👍🏻

Very cool trip, you went through West Point on general puller highway. Also across Whitestone bridge, some pucker factor on that bridge on a windy day.

I just bought a 66 F100 myself. I bought mine for $300 because the original engine that's in it is blown and the trans was pulled before I bought it. I have a 78 Buick Century with Turbo charged V6 and 3 speed auto trans that was rear ended in the late 90's that I'm just going to throw in it and daily drive it, Why? Why not? it's besides, when was the last time you saw a 66 F100 with a Buick turbo charged V6 in it?

I had a '66 it was Wimbledon white, short bed, 352 big block. I was young, I sold it in early 2000's. Big mistake. I'm old now and would like to purchase it. I'm in northeast Ohio. Let me know, and I'll leave an email or phone # and delete it. NICE! It's really a long story.

I personally put no ethanol on my old truck, burns better and keeps everything a little cleaner, but I assume you’re doing a tuneup

[paulhoercher]

Do you still have this truck if so would you sell

Where do you guys buy parts? I could use two new side mirrors, window tracks, weather stripping, etc.
