Well you just added another 50 years to its life!👍
Lets hope so Don. The plan is to keep these old guys going for as long as we can. Hopefully future generations can do the same.
I'm a classic Bowtie guy, but I don't discriminate when it comes to old trucks. Love them all. Mid 60's Fords are among my favorites. This one looks to be fairly solid.
Thanks man! I am right there with ya. I do my best to appreciate peoples builds and work. Pretty solid just needs some floor attention and bed floor replaces
@@left2rot615 Always good to see a salvageable classic saved. I had my eye on a 65 F-100 LB just sitting at an abandoned house. I knew the guy who had lived there and passed away. Also knew some of his family, but someone beat me to it.
I like your poster on the wall, you dont see that 54 grill much, it's my favorite
Thank you. It is up to remind me what my 54 will look like when finished. That truck will be making it to the channel once i finish the 66
@@left2rot615 I had one years ago that had a flat bed on it, I lived in Mt Airy MD at the time and I always wondered if any one ever did anything with it after I lost it
A flat bed on a 54 would be awesome!
My second truck was a '66 Ford shortbox. Never had a better truck- to this day. Good luck on your project!
Thats awesome! What engine? I hope to have this one around for a long time.
Looking forward to seeing more. I have a '66 F100 too that I want to start working on
Working on the next video. Had some technical issues but am puting it together with what i have . What are you waiting for no better time than the present!!
Nice one! Great job.
A 66 F-100 with RH drive. Cool!Oh, Dude. You played a camera trick on me. My bad😂❤ Take your little pecker and knock some of that whiskey ding out of the right front. Slap a little paint on them bumpers and you've got a hell of a detail job there.⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great Progress... Looks great... Good luck...have fun
Great year good looking
Last of that cab style
Large windshield 66 custom cab with a 65 or 64 grill
Great project!
Awesome job. I’ll be doing that to my ‘66 here soon.
Subbed 😎👊 my dad had a jade green 78f150 when I was young. I recently hit 500 subs myself. Hope your channel grows.
Thank you I appreciate the sub. I hope the page continues to grow and I can keep the videos coming! There always a story where someone's dad or uncle had a car or truck. Hopefully i can keep the interest going with future generations. Congrats on the channel growth i will swing by and take a look. You may gain another subscription.
That polish did a amazing job. Those style trucks are starting to grow on me. Great idea with a wood bed floor. The front bumper repainted white would spruce things up. If the wheels were repainted white it would dress it up also. Maybe some hubcaps. Knocking out the dent in the front fender would do a world of good. Just some of my ideas. Feel free to agree or disagree with me.
All great ideas! The wheels were replaced with powdercoated black wheels ( see other videos) . And majority of the improvements you listed will be coming in the future videos. Thanks for watching glad you enjoy the truck.
Older pickup going high in iowa
Any classic vehicle people ride them
Darren one would like to make it look better NOT lamer so hubcaps (useless! )are out of the question
not the full size hubcaps, just the dog dish ones around the center, followed by a crome front bumper would be my route.
Great job!!!...nowadays if it still has paint you can get it to Shine!!
Incredible!!❤
Love this redoing an orange 67……
Good luck on the build! It is very rewarding
My favorite Ford truck. Rather have it any day than a new one..
Great truck you found. That mic. Is a big improvement. Looks like you guys just starting out. All the best with the channel. Your bid just popped up probably due too all the similar stuff I watch.
Just subscribed to see how it goes for you. Tony🦘🦘 Brisbane Queensland Australia 👍
Thank you for the kind words. This truck has been a blast. Having a lav mic is a must in my opinion.
Muy vacana hno asi no mas como sera cuando la termine....
I did the same thing with an old '71 Chevelle I found in the back of a muffler shop. Funny because the car was the same faded green color! haha. Liked & sub'd
Thise are the best ones! Thanks for the sub. Will be getting more up on green soon.
Nice job!u can clean your pad with air hose …wipe your work down with microfiber towel keep on keepin on!!!
Noted!! I will keep the compressor full on the next one.
I love to take something old. But not gone all together. Then put my detailing magic on that project. A little effort and a few detail products and Bam! A big difference! Great video. Man. Shawn.
I also enjoy bringing things back. the before and after is the best!! even if it is a lawn mower it is still an accomplishment in my book.
Nice 66 Ford there really hard to find , wish I had one...😊😊
Thank you very much. They are out there! Hopefully you find yourself one.
Almost identical to the 66 I bought right after high school. That was back in 79 and i still have the truck. Best looking truck ford ever made!
Awesome! My 66 project has a LITTLE bigger dent on that same fender. Must be a feature! LOL Subbed and following along. This popped up in my feed. Will be fun to follow along and compare my project to yours. What state do you hail from?
Thank you for the sub.I will have to sub and follow along with your build also. I think the dent was an option from the dealer you know how ford does things. The truck and I hail from Virginia!
I have a 66 f250 and the front of the bed was bad, but not that bad. I replaced it and the brace with the bed still on the truck, and it was a major pain in the ass. I did it in an apartment parking lot with mig welder though, so that made it harder. If I had a shop I would have taken the bed off.
Hats off to you man! In an apartment parking lot??? 🙃 thats some serious dedication. I can't find replacement bed cross members and floor so we are going to fabricate a frame and put some oak down and use the stainless steel trips you see in other trucks. I think the wood floor would be unique and easier to come by materials.
@@left2rot615 the crossmember I used was off a parts truck that an lkq local to me had. They had a 66 f100, and you can only take parts off of it. I cut the truck into pieces and took all the good parts, and good parts of the bed. I cut half the cab off and half the bed/floor to take with me. I made a cab brace in the same parking lot, I'm on all those slick 60s truck pages on FB but I don't really document much, just before and after pictures.
That would be great to find! I think i will make my own to suitnthe bed and wood. Though i have been looking at cross membwr replacents for other beds that are available as an option. What ever i do it will be soon and on the channel.
@@left2rot615 depending on how thick of wood you use you will most certainly have to modify or make your own for sure
I have seen at the least now 3 of those old Ford trucks locally come back to life which they were by the way awesome trucks back in the days. I had a 65 and & a 66. They ride like a Cadillac should. Probably the reasons they got the nic name cowboy Cadillacs. If they had one flaw it was 3 issues with the rear tail lights. One the lights were barely visible and dim in bad weather. The turn signals failed on all of em the wiring went bad. And on the 64 thru 65's series of these trucks they had no tail lights and some of the 66 models had no tail lights. Depends on the production date. By 67 when they changed the body style the F100's all had reverse lights. I have seen a few 66s with reverse lights. Not many.
I still have the 66 I bought in 79. The only electrical I ever had was a shorted out ignition switch. Signal lights were fine, I did replace the turn signal switch in the column once...and tail lights were as bright as anything else at that time. Brake lights were temperamental, as they relied on a fluid operated switch on the master cylinder. Not sure if I've never seen a "slick-side" with back-up lights? You mentioned a 64 in your comment. Although similar in appearance, they're actually WAY different than the 65-66 trucks!
❤👍🤟
OMG your video is back wards. I'm done here.
Well i appreciate the time you spent here. Come back and see us thank you for swinging by!
@@left2rot615 will do 😊 thanks
Yeep...I really need no..have to do this to both my trucks. Our GMC Sprint (El Camino) and the Chevy Extended Cab 3500 "Dully". Thanks...
Aint nothin to it ! Run to your local Harbor Freight and spend a few bucks and knock it out. Definitely an improvement. Sounds like you have a nice little collection.
Mallard green or Holly green? Thanks for sharing.
Im not sure. This truck was resprayed with a single stage metallic. The undercoat looks like it was Holly Green
As it sits you can get $362K easy
I wish!!!! Then i coukd buy more!
What’s with the right hand drive ???
Is that an old mail truck because of the steering wheel
RHD? Was it a Post Office truck?
When trucks were trucks
Is that a right hand drive or is that a camera trick?
I used a phone for shooting parts of the video and used the forward facing camera for some shots. I wish it was RHD.
@@left2rot615 At 14:17 it looks like you did some fancy video tricks. You are shooting from the Driver's side door opening and we are seeing the glove box on the left- not a steering wheel, because it's on the right! But back up to 13:40 and you can see everything in it's proper place... weird!
Does this have a 240 or 300 straight 6?
It has the 240 straight 6.
@left2rot615 this was also the base engine in full-size passenger cars.
@@bobbyheffley4955 yup. This particular engine came out of a galaxy. The original engine apparently locked up and the previous owner dropped this engine in before he had parked it.
Your channel would be easier to watch if you didn't play that horrible technochipmunk noise that so many youtube creators use. I would like to see how the repairs work out for you.
Thanks man . The first drive video should be coming in the near future. Im sorry my choice of music isnt to your liking.
Would it have killed you to wash it first?
What do you mean? The first part of the video is washing it.
Did you not watch the start of the video?
I believe it looked better without the polish, it was harder to see how ruff it is, rust, paint, dents.
The steering wheel is on the right side I'm taking that your not in American
It's the front facing camera flips the image you can see the wheel on the left in the video
The American flag is not hung right
Thank you for noticing this. Unfortunately you are mistaken. If you are referring to the end of the video look at the Datsun flag. It is displayed backward because of the forward facing camera. In other parts of the video you will notice the flag is correct.
@@left2rot615 I was more concerned about the trucks steering wheel jumping to the other side 😳
