Magnetic door sign I found sticking to back of cab between cab and bed. The truck's been in our family since 1979, so the sign has to have been stuck back there for over 32 years.

I would call the number and see if they, or family members, are still around and remember your truck. I was with my Dad when he bought the 66 F100 that is now mine on a used car lot in 1974. It had wooden cattle racks installed around the bed and had "Mountain View Farm" stenciled on the driver side door. I have always wondered where Mountain View Farm is, but never actually researched it.

I did call the number, Googled the company name, and even looked to see if they were still registered with the Contractor's State License Board. I would have loved to put this back in the hands of the original owners.

So far all I've found is a bottle of brake/clutch fluid wrapped in an old t-shirt, BUT... up in the rat's nest of wiring up under the dash that I started removing last night, I found an emergency flasher switch and harness, hooked up but not working. it's a start tho! :D
