Rookie needs help on how much paint to buy.
I plan to paint 5 steel 15" wheels that have been sandblasted and will be gray epoxy primed.
Color is wimbledon white.
TCP Global has the quart kit for $50 and the gallon kit, which I know is overkill, for $100.

1966 color code question
When I bought my truck in the mid 80's it was white on black. The top of the cab was white, but the rest of the truck was black. Actually the black part had a shiney purple cast until I waxed it. Someone told me years ago that the line between the white and black was "not factory" and I ju...

Backspacing on 1995 F150 wheels OK for 66
http://columbia.craigslist.org/pts/3681903532.html
Anyone run these wheels or similar on their truck? How do/will they look on a 66? I know I can't go too wide on front tires with my stock rims that's why I'm asking about the backspacing

I looked at this valve at least a dozen times and never saw the hole. It looks much more obvious in the picture.

Re: Idle problem after carb rebuild
Swapped out the new power valve with the old one and all is good. New valve was allowing fuel to slowly drain from the bowl.

Idle problem after carb rebuild
Rebuilt the Motorcraft 2150 on the 351W in my 66 F100 because the accelerator pump was leaking gas onto the manifold. Otherwise truck ran fine. Now the idle wants to swing. Sort of a performance cam sound to my stock engine. Neighbor said vacuum leak, but it runs good except for the idle swinging. A...

Re: messed up my alternator conversion
I had a similar problem with a red plate motorola alt. The warning light would come on with the battery connected when the key was not in run. Light went out with the key in run. Alt would not charge because it needed the inital current from the warning light bulb to begin charging. Turned out the d...

Re: 61-66 ford pick up sheetmetal * tell us what you need
Just came by to visit since I started up again on a project and saw the sheet metal post. I've owned my 66 F100 since the mid 80's and looked off and on over the years without any luck for bed patch panels for the front area of the bed. Here are some pictures of my home made patch panels I finished ...

Just Found the "New Site"
I just found this site and it looks great. I used to read posts on the old site. For the last 5 years, my 66 F100 was parked in a friend's back yard. It is out now and my interest has returned. I bought the truck over 25 years ago from the grandson of the original owner. Not clever enough to post a ...
