1966 f-100

[xjmudman96]

This isn't a 4Wd truck, but it sure is rare and has alot of sentimental value. It belonged to a good friend of mine who passed away last summer. He was no newbie to restoration like me. Anyway as it turned out I am the new owner of this beast and I plan on having her on the road ASAP. Here's some pics...

As you can see he has the cab ready to go. I'm gonna sand and paint the framehttp://i459.photobucket.com/albums/qq314/xjmudman96/100_1009.jpg

I've got the fenders ready for paint now. Mostly just dents, no real bad rust in this truck!

Next we're gonna take the bed off and do the under neath of it and the remainig rear frame. Then we bolt it all back together and get her on the road! Paintjob will probly be last.

JT, I think the engine is okay but I need to probly @lest clean the heads. It's been sittin with no valvecover caps for who knows how long. What do u recomend ?
