ok I got a question, on the first one listed the map pockets in doors arent the same one the zipper looks like a smile and the other one is a frown, was that how the passenger side was? mine only had driver side, which I cant use anyways with my extremely rare glass kit

I noticed in this pic, it looks like New York tags...can't see for sure, there's too much gleam on it.

Looks like that truck has flipped it's way clear across the country. Poor thing, it needs a good home.

Hah! I didn't even notice that!

They are both supposed to be 'frowns', looks like the restorer had a bit of an

on that one.

Yeah checking the bore might tell something But after many years messing with the FE'S Get the crankshaft ID# And that will tell the whole story, Yeah Johnny's right what is he hiding with that cheap steering wheel cover, Still a very nice truck, have to look in person to see if anything is hiding that pictures are not showing

A quick visual woukl also be the counter balance added to the timing cover/crank sleeve. Hides behind the hormonic balancer.

428 had this. allong with the 410 for external balance.

Overall a nice truck, Very well restored. But not concoruse as the bottom of the cab has been painted and the bed. Should be red lead primer with overspray....Deduct 20 points...

i'd pimp it. especially with the stock wheels and covers. and some people find the steering wheel ring to small for their comfort and add covers to thinken it up some.

I noticed it had the "6 cylinder" emblem stamped in the seat back.

....It looks very clean no matter what...

I may be mistaken, but I think they all had that emblem, regardless of which engine.

My Son's '65 had the tattered remains of it's original seat when he bought it & it's a 352 truck.

(sorry about the massive pic)

That gear and lightning bolt was the symbol for Ford trucks from the early 50s when they only came with V8's. In Slick trucks it was on the sixes and V8s until '65, when they came up with a new V8 hood badge. But it never to my knowledge meant six cylinder. It meant Ford truck.
