Very nice work. What is the master brake cylinder from?

Nice F-350 too - my '66 is just about the same, including those funky rims. Just not near as nice and clean as yours!

Again, nice work.

Nice truck, I'm doing the same to my 65 style side. I love those mirrors, are they stock or aftermarket, and if aftermarket where did they come from?

^^^^ X2!!

VERY NICE COLLECTION OF SLICKS!

I don't know if I've ever seen '65 dump bed Slick before..... VERY NICE!

Your red '65 4X4 is exceptionally nice!
I'm sure many of us would be interested to hear about any details about the build that you'd care to share - such as: what options did it come originally with, what options did you add, any notable issues/challenges with the engine, trans/transfer case, body, electrical, etc.?

Hello everyone, Thanks for the compliments on my collection. The mirrors are nos FOMCO I found on eBay. They weren't cheap but they are in mint condition and I like that style on a pickup. The truck was originally a government vehicle from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs. I kept the original 240 i6, the only things I added was powerbrakes, three point seatbelts and the center mounted license plate. The color code was deleted from the warranty plate so I chose red. The wheels, grille and bumpers are powder coated colonial white. Biggest challenge of the project for me was the door glass and guts in the doors and getting the gaps right without scratching anything. Thanks again for your interest. Best regards, Bill
