I gave 1825.00 for my 66 flareside. It was all there and the body was in very good shape. But I had to push it on the tow dolly because it would not run. It wasn't a big deal getting it running but, all in all, I have spent around 1000.00 getting in good enough shape to drive every day. So all that ...

Thanks to all for the info. I will try all of the above.

OK guys all this talk about priming oil pumps, does anyone have any input on how you prime a 240-6? The dizzy is run off a gear in the center of the cam shaft. The only way I can think of is to ruin a dist and rig it some way to turn it fast enough to prime the pump.

Does anyone know where I can buy a NEW,STOCK cam for my 68 240?
I would also like a new cam gear as well.
Also who makes the best rod and crank bearings?

Tanks!!!

I need help figuring out what year the motor in my '66 flareside is.
The PO said it was an '80 but I dont think so. Here are the numbers off of the block.

D5TE-60-8(or S)-AA

Can anyone help?

Tanks!!!!

I agree with cdherman. There are lots of build options for big block 6's out there. You might consider a crate motor from Clifford engineering. They will build you a strong 6 and also suggest the proper tranny. This option will also maintain some of the original integrity of your truck. You cannot b...

Hey Guys. I am trying to adjust the valves on my 1980 300-6. Am I supposed to torque them down tight and make any adjustments with the push rods? Or do I adjust them like I used to on my 66. Taking out the end play and then another 1/4 to 1/2 turn. Any help will be appreciated!!! I have all the manu...

Just my 2 cents. I ordered,(or tried), to order a clutch fork for my 66 stepside from NPD. After 4 attempts and still not getting the right part, I realized I had paid shipping to and from 4 times. They will credit you for the part, but you have to pay shipping to return the wrong part. I quickly re...

O.K. guys help me out here. I have a 1966 stepside F100, 3 sp, 300-6. My trans and bell housing are both stamped with numbers starting with "C5" which I understand means they were manuf. in 1965. My bellhousing uses the type of clutch fork that has a wire bail that holds it in the bell hou...

Thanks that is what I thought. Hey the truck in your picture looks exactly like mine. Is that the original color? What color is that? Mine is a 66 stepside. Yours looks better than mine though.

Does anyone have a photo of original 1966 F100 hubcaps?

My service manual does not show any actual pictures.

Thanks!!!!!

My DSO number is 251768. I think this tells me it was built in Richmond VA?

Thank you!!!!

Good info!! I am guessing this truck was a fleet truck. It appears that the original paint was orange. I have double and triple checked the numbers and there is not a color number. Oh well the mystery continues!

Aint we got fun!

Thank you all

Harry

I am located in E TN. I am more interested in why the color code on my VIN is blank....
My truck was originally from NC.

Thanks for all help!!!!

Harry

How do I trace the history of my truck? I would like to know more than is shown on the VIN plate. Also, the color section on my VIN plate is blank!!
Does this mean something or did I get a MON-FRI tag that was not stamped?

O.K., Guys and Gals, help me out here. I am working on a 1966 F100 stepside. The trans code on the vin plate is "C". I pulled the trans and on the trans plate are the following numbers, HEF CH 088686. I am trying to find out what this trans is and where it came from. All of the tech info I...
