Re: My 66 F-100 Shortbed resto. Taking a while.
Worked on it for about three hours today. Nose was running like a faucet so thats all I could muster feeling like crud. I did the last bit of metal glaze on the roof and hope to be done sanding on it next time I get to blocking it. AFS sanders are a godsend to working on these trucks. I dont think I...

Yeah, don't I know it. Looks like someone went dancing up there. Spent about 20 hrs on the roof alone. Maybe two more and it'll be done.MadMaxetc wrote:That roof needs a bit of work.

Re: My 66 F-100 Shortbed resto. Taking a while.
Built a dolly this weekend so I can get the cab into the garage. Since I cant work on it non stop it keeps flash rusting. Every time I get motivated to work on it again I need to spend an hour or two just sanding the rust off and getting to the paint where I can start making progress again. http://i...

Re: My 66 F-100 Shortbed resto. Taking a while.
Its all in white epoxy primer from the sandblasters. Spent about eight hours today plug welding holes in the cab. All said and done there were 39 holes that I filled. 39! 45 years of people with drills and no sense. Removed holes from two other side mirror holes as well as holes from a topper drille...

Re: My 66 F-100 Shortbed resto. Taking a while.
Getting the cab and bed sandblasted. Doing it by hand was killing me. Was well worth the $500 to have it blasted and epoxy primed IMO. These are phone pics of them in bare steel. Should be in primer by tomorrow and I'll bring em home in the week. http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd340/MeZapU/66%20...

Re: My 66 F-100 Shortbed resto. Taking a while.
Finally managed to get the frame painted. I wanted to do it this weekend but it rained every evening Fri-Sun. I used some POR 15 Chassis Black thinned with a bit of lacquer thinner to make it more sprayable. http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd340/MeZapU/66%20F-100/F-100framepainted002.jpg http://i...

More work done. Getting cab and bed ready to go to the blasters. I wish I had the money to get all the parts blasted. http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd340/MeZapU/66%20F-100/f-100003.jpg http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd340/MeZapU/66%20F-100/f-100004.jpg http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd3...

Re: My 66 F-100 Shortbed resto. Taking a while.
Still tearing it down. The whole interior is 100% gutted. Doors are too. Next is the front bumper, rad support, hood and inner fenders. Then finally the cab. http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd340/MeZapU/66%20F-100/F-100Apart008.jpg http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd340/MeZapU/66%20F-100/F-100A...

Re: My 66 F-100 Shortbed resto. Taking a while.
Spent all afternoon with a wire wheel on my angle grinder going to town on the rust in the bed. Then hammering out dents, and finally treating with some POR-15 Metal Prep to chemically convert the rust. My back is killing me. http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd340/MeZapU/66%20F-100/Truckday2001.jp...

My 66 F-100 Shortbed resto. Taking a while.
I've been going on this project for a few months now. Slow progress with my busy work schedule. I figure you guys would like seeing my progress since there are lots of pictures. I already had another rust free tailgate that I prepped and is ready for paint. The rest of the truck will not be so easy....

Re: Junkyard swaybar question
Well, I guess I'll report back when I get the truck back on the road and swaybar installed. Will probably be towards the end of summer.

Re: Juskyard swaybar question
I only have my phone on me to do searches. Not very productive. All I've been able to pull up are posts and pictures about sway bars with traditional end link bushings and frame mounts. This one is very simple and bolts in between the radius arms. Is this even considered a real sway bar?

Junkyard swaybar question
Going through a junkyard I found a 73 F-350 that had its factory swaybars attached. I snagged the front one as it looks like I can bolt it up to my 66 with only drilling four holes. Has anyone else ever installed one of these and is it worth the hassle? http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd340/MeZap...

Re: What have you found in the nooks and crannies of your sl
Found a 1"x2" cut-out of a 60's dressed playboy pin-up girl. It blew out of the lip above the drivers door when I was driving because there is no headliner. Not work safe so I'll leave it up to your imagination.
