Re: 1965 ford f 100 4x4 grill question ???

I believe I read somewhere that the 65 grill was not made after september 1965, and that the new 66 grill was used after the 65 stock was used up, so it is possible to have a 65 model year with a 66 grill.

Re: Project Traction.

my first 65 had major wheel hop issues, around 350-400hp ran low 13s on street tires, wish I had known about these back then. If you don't mind me asking what is 'pretty expensive'?

Re: 1965 in Delaware

Had time today to do a little more, test fitted the fender and support, put in self tapping screws for the spot welds, and filled in the remaining gap. after first fitting I found that the curve on the inner fender did not match the outer fender, so a little hammerring and bending I think I have it ...

mounting side moulding

I have been debating whether to add this trim to my 65 but I would like to know how difficult it is to add to a truck that didn't have it originally?

Re: 1965 in Delaware

Thanks for all the advise I will be giving it a try again tomorrow while I wait for another repairman, when it rains it pours, TV this time. I need to tweak the support a little more so I will try turning down the speed a little and do the spot weld technique and see how it goes.

Unbelievable skills, this will probably be the straightest slick anywhere.

Re: 1965 in Delaware

Well had a few minutes to work on her again so I made a little more progress, it ain't pretty but a little more work, rage extreme, and por 15 she will be good as new. http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/digler005/DSC01875_zpsbc42d255.jpg http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/digler005/DSC01...

Re: 1965 in Delaware

Had a few minutes to work on her again, waiting for a repairman, so I figured I would make some patterns and weld a little on the inner fender. http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/digler005/DSC01870_zps663024f8.jpg http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/digler005/DSC01868_zpsd5f3472e.jpg http...

Re: 1965 in Delaware

I know it would be a lot easier but I promised the previous owner I would restore this one and not have it crushed. This will be my first experience with body work and I never seem to do anything new the easy way. Thankfully my cousin who lives next door owned a body shop in the 70's and has offered...
