This 1966 Ford F100 Custom pickup clearly shows us that even back in the '60s, here were people for whom trucks were more than simple tools. With a comfortable interior, lashy two-tone paint, nd no signs of hard labor in its past, his truck is still an inviting driver for the guy who expects more from his trucks than just the basics.The two-tone paint is the first giveaway that this truck was intended to do more than haul stuff for a living. Code F on the door tag means Arcadian Blue, ut the refinished surfaces on this truck have the added bonus of Wimbledon White playing accompaniment. By 1966, ord realized that style could help sell trucks as much as towing capacity, o it looks quite stylish today, ombining a sleek fleetside bed with dramatic body lines that give it a muscular, ompetent look. The sheetmetal is extremely straight, articularly on those long bed sides that must have taken a month each to block out. Modern paint technology ensures a brilliant shine, nd careful masking makes the line between the two colors crisp and sharp. The Custom upgrade added quite a bit of brightwork, ncluding that big grille and the stainless side trim, nd this truck wears bright chrome on both the front and rear bumpers. The bed might have seen a few trips to Home Depot, ut it's solid, ent-free, nd includes a removable rubber mat, ust in case.Custom trim gave you a few upgrades inside as well, ncluding the comfortable blue vinyl bench seat that has a subtle texture to it that makes it a bit more comfortable on warm days. The new seat cover seems to do a pretty good impersonation of the original upholstery, nd the medium blue is inviting, ot industrial. Painted door panels are purely industrial strength, ut you do get an interesting insert on each side that holds a map pocket that's at least practical. The instrument panel is simple, ith a central speedometer flanked by an oil pressure gauge and ammeter, oth of which have a correct period look. The steering wheel is typical of the period with a simple look and a skinny rim, nd you should brush up on your shifting for the column-mounted 3-speed transmission. An original AM radio remains in the dash, nd a newer rubber mat on the floor, ust in case it needs to get back to work.Ford's 352 cubic inch V8 is a great choice in this pickup, ffering plenty of power to get the work done and plenty of performance out on the open road. It's been rebuilt and wears correct Ford Blue so it looks good, ut it's not really intended to be a show piece. The good news is that things like the air cleaner, alve covers, nd other components are original, o has a very period-correct look overall. Underneath, he chassis is straight and solid, nd the list of recent work includes a full front suspension rebuild, resh brakes, nd a new dual exhaust system with stock style mufflers that are mellow but nice to listen to on the highway. Newer 235/75/15 blackwall radials proudly wear standard Ford hubcaps that add to the working-class look.Despite millions being built, hese are some of the less common trucks today.
