Spent some time today doing a dry assemble of the parts we had... Used the diesel engine hoist to put the short block and tranny in... http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag3/FBilljeeps/Bobs%20Ford%20Pickup%20Project/DSCN2906_zpsd0d17d58.jpg Discovered the mount towers were slightly rear by about 2-...

It takes a lot of talent and completely different tastes than I have to build a truck like that....in the 60's that would have blown minds.

I like original survivors, but I have been told I am too lazy to like anything else..lol.

Welcome from California! It looks like a great start The column is offset to the right as you describe. I do not believe that column and steering box are a match to each other so a measurement may not be available. You may have to hunt and peck at it to acheive desired results. Do the vin numbers f...

The cab mounts, at least the front ones, are bolted to the frame and appear to have been removed from the earlier style frame.. Definitely hold onto that bracket for me....I have seen one in person and think I could build one but the time would be better spent on figuring other issues like the colum...

Haven't posted any pics in so long, and photobucket has changed, so I forgot how, I know, I feel dumb. I have been looking all over the site and can't find the instructions....any body tell me where to look ?....thanks...Dave If you are using Photobucket, open the photo you want in your Photobucket...

The kit I installed was designed for a specific drop......to lay the frame on the ground is way beyond where most will want it, and probably not real DOT approved so you are probably on your own to do that.....

I know a guy in DFW who may be bringing a wide short bed in nice shape and a 66 cab too if anyone has any interest..he did advertise it in the DFW Craigs...

If I am lucky I might attend but I think work will put the brakes on it.

I have the Husky box from Home depot, and am extremely satisfied with it. and it is LOADED. I also have the black tool cart for HF, and it is an excellent value for the money. As far as their other toolboxes go, the bigger ones are pretty good values, just make sure your box works well before leavin...

That is good news, Thanks! now we need to figure out the steering column issue..

They make good stuff, I used their kit on an old non Ford a while ago and was impressed with the fit and overall quality. Agree the price can be an issue, but you pay for the engineering and testing....it is pretty foolproof.

Here's some front end sheet metal pics. The owner wants to use the 66 grille we got in DFW, (It is the most complete needing only turn signal lenses.) Fenders appear to be pre 65 ones with the rounded inners...still have to see how the left one will fit over that steering box.. http://i1296.photobuc...

A brief intro.. My name is Bill, I live in central TX and do oversize load escorting for a living.. Last week a buddy of mine calls me up and wanted me to look at a truck for him...Long story short, he bought it and it is at my house awaiting the long ride to the northeast... Here's an album of pict...
