Welcome to FTF you've come to the right place!!

No the truck is a Wv truck. After the VFD took the truck out of service the township took over the truck and used it to plow the city streets for many years. It has a steel bed on it now.

Here is some more to think about! I have my 66 with a 429 I haven't started on yet, I would like to finish them both but I'm not sure I will be able to. I'm thinking about taking the 429 out of the 66 and selling the rest of the truck and put that money toward the 73 and put the 429 in the 73...

I'm trying to get some pictures for you all to see if I can get my blackberry to work properly, thanks for all the replys so far.

I was hoping someone could hook me up with a parts truck! Thanks anyway.

I'm looking for parts for my 66 short bed F100. I need a hood and the radiator support,the rest of the body work needing done is flat work which I will replace the sheet metal. Some of you gave me the info for Dennis Carpenter which is a big help,but I'm looking for some used parts. I live in Wv...

Hey fellow fanatics while searching through your want adds in your area if you ever find a 66 F100 for parts, let me know. I need some body parts but what few you find in my area are either rust buckets or already restored. Thanks
