Hi. Im new here. Picked up a 1966 F100 Stepside the other day on a trade. All original GA truck and that's where it will be restored and stay since i live in northern GA. Im a Mopar guy, born and raised around them, so this should be a fun experience. I am 23, currently working in a body shop, but Im not new to cars. Ive done plenty of restorations, including the motorcycle I traded for this truck. This is actually my first Ford, and Im excited to see it when its done. Ive done countless engines, trucks, cars, and boats. Hoping to get some insight and see yalls other builds, and here to learn some new info, because no one knows everything right.
About the truck. All original, it has been repainted and it was wrecked on the drivers side. I have the original door with the original glass. it is a 300 L6 with the 3 on the tree, and it was converted to an auto with a c4. Tailgate is missing, and there are some small rust holes in the rear, but all in all, its much better than the 1966 Chevy C10 I did a couple years back. I do have a 1972 351w, that i may toss in the truck.. Still tossing ideas around and coming up with my renderings. First thing is first, the PO accidentally welded the axle in upside down (funny story) but that is first on the list to correct.
