1966 FORD F-100 CUSTOM PICKUP

Details

This custom 1966 Ford F-100 sweptside short-bed pickup was in Canada in 2016 and was built with long-distance driving and economy in mind. This is a complete frame-off restoration from top to bottom. It is powered by a 302ci HO Ford engine paired with an automatic overdrive transmission with a 3.73 open rear end. This pickup is equipped with a custom 2.5-inch exhaust with shorty headers and Flowmaster Series 40 mufflers. It rides on a custom frame front to back with air-ride suspension at all

four corners, independent front suspension, modified truck-arm rear suspension with airbags mounted in front of the rear axle, and a Panhard bar and sway bar. Stopping power is provided by power disc brakes. Air is supplied by a 12-volt air compressor connected to the existing air tank, which is mounted between the frame rails behind the rear axle. Pressure on the bags is controlled with mechanical valves and gauges located just below the radio in the dash. The box floor and wheel wells are custom-built and then raised 4 inches to accommodate clearance when the suspension is dropped. The box features a metal floor with stainless-steel bed strips. The truck is finished in original Ford colors of turquoise and white using PPG Omni single-stage products. All body and suspension parts were sandblasted to bare metal and prepped with DP40. The interior features power steering and a RetroSound Huntington Direct-Fit radio that looks old-school but has all modern features and connectivity. One front speaker is in the original dash location and two Custom Autosound Undercover II aluminum subwoofers are mounted under the front seat. The owner's manual for the system is included. This pickup rides on American Racing Torq Thrust D wheels wrapped in American Classic wide white radials by Coker. The aluminum 1965 grille and all side trim have been de-anodized, professionally packed and polished. They can now be polished just like aluminum wheels. The build was completed in 2018 and won the Goodguys Spokane Staff Pick in 2018, Goodguys Spokane So Low Pick and Top 10 Builder's Choice Pick by J.F. Customs out of Canada in 2021. It has been driven approximately 500 miles since completion. 36,442 miles (title reads mileage exempt). **TITLED AS 1966 FORD SPECON** **SOLD ON BONDED TITLE**
