Newbie in Sioux Falls

Post by daboy »

Good day all! Just joined the site. Here is some pics of my 1966 f100 Custom Cab long box project.

I hope to get the cab off this weekend.

Here is my donor truck for the motor and trans and a few other things.

I should add I will be selling the complete Borg Warner T-85N 3 speed Overdrive out of the 66 locally as I am not to keen on shipping the beast.

Thanks.
They were light strips. The guy that had it during the 70's was REALLY into lights and electronics. Had at one time, electric windows, door locks and cruise control also. :lol:

Just SOME of the extra wiring.

And don't forget Disco lights.

Howdy from Oregon. Only been on this board for a week or so, but these people are a great bunch and have a wealth of knowledge.

Oh, and no shortage of nice trucks!

Looking for some help here. Does anybody have any good ideas on what to do here?

As you can see the seam is rotted out on both sides where the floor pan meets the firewall.

I have the new floor pans in, but I am at a loss on this seam. Is it really needed for cab mount support, or can I just smooth it out without the seam there?
