1966 Ford F100 Custom Pickup
Car History
We have a high-quality 1966 Ford F100 Custom Pickup here at
Adventure Classics with just the right nostalgic factory stock
look, but a major surprise which is powered by the Ford 428 cubic
inch engine.
This 1966 Ford F100 Custom pickup has a new comfortable interior,
flashy two-tone blue/white paint, and is a super pickup for the
enthusiast who expects more from his trucks than just the
basics.
Engine & Drivetrain
Ford's 428 cubic inch V8 engine was a powerhouse in it's day, and
that is what makes it the great choice in this pickup, offering
plenty of power and horsepower to get the work done and plenty of
performance out on the open road.
It wears correct Ford Blue paint on the engine block and has the
chrome open-element air cleaner, Cobra finned aluminum valve
covers, aftermarket performance aluminum intake with the chrome
Holley Performance carb, cast iron factory exhaust headers, power
steering and brakes, and sits in an as-new looking painted and
detailed engine compartment too. The other components look factory
correct and has a very period-correct look overall.
Underneath, the chassis is straight and solid with the suspension
rebuilt, fresh brakes, and a new dual exhaust system that is mellow
but nice to listen to on the highway.
Interior
He completely refreshed interior consists of the comfortable blue
and white vinyl bench seat
looking the same as original upholstery, matching door panels, with
the dash housing the
instrument panel with a central speedometer and Super tach
underneath, both of which have a
correct period look.
The steering wheel is typical of the period with a simple look and
a blue skinny rim, a column-
mounted 3-speed transmission, original AM radio in the dash, and a
newer rubber mat and
floor mats on the floor, just in case it needs to get back to
work.
Exterior
The two-tone blue and white paint is the first giveaway that this
truck was intended to do more than haul stuff for a living. The
Arcadian Blue has been refinished surfaces on this truck have
Wimbledon White to offset it on the hood and flanks.
In 1966 Ford realized that style could sell trucks so it looks
quite stylish today, combining a sleek fleet side bed with dramatic
body lines that give it a muscular look. The sheet metal is
extremely straight with a brilliant shine.
The Custom upgrade added quite a bit of brightwork, including that
big grille and the stainless side trim, and bright chrome on both
the front and rear bumpers. The bed is painted in blue/white also
and has a removable rubber mat.
The F100 rides on good looking white letter BF Goodrich Trans Am
Radials and chrome aftermarket 5-spoke styled aftermarket wheels
that add to the sporty look.
Conclusion
Collectors are starting to realize that these older trucks are
great investments and the restored 1966 Ford F100 Custom Pickup we
have here at Adventure Classics, with that potent 428 V8 engine,
makes this one special.
