I posted a question earlier about a motor / tranny combo for my 64 shortie and was encouraged to introduce myself and put some pics up. Don't have to twist my arm....
The truck was bought after I saw it sitting in North Fort Worth. I had been looking for a while but seeing it there calling my name and it was a done deal in about 2 hours. As I said, 64 short bed custom cab. Body needs some help but all in all it seems to be pretty straight. Take a look:
Interior needs help along with a proper set of guages. Dog found her place quickly enough:
As I said, custom cab:
Beer cooler in door:
Wish it was the original color all around. Enough peeking through to make it cool though:
Here is some of the rust in the roof:
Came with a great bed guard. Weighs about 175lbs:
Issues with the hood. I guess someone did not care about lube on the hinges?
Hmmm....what's going to go in here? 300 6? 292? definitely a manual floor shift:
Coolest thing was about three weeks after I got the truck a gentleman in the neighborhood stopped buy. Said he had just sold a 66 he had gotten about 75% done and had some parts he wanted to get rid of. I said sure and we went to his rental house to take a look. He had two really nice complete doors (with glass), an excellent hood, 4 pretty good dog dish hubcaps, window mechanisms, drums, windshield trim, a washer fluid bag with Ford logo, two spindles for the 66 (won't work on 64) and lots of odds and ends. I asked how much and he said he just wanted to see them go to a good home. Asked for 100 bucks.
What a welcome to the community!
Anywho, glad I found this forum!
