Well it's getting close for me to dive into the "66" So i thought i would start a topic for my build.

Bought a donor today...$500.00

No title..

1966 F250 Camper special...
Has all the original interior.
Radio.
352 Auto.

This thing has been unmolested..Other than a $300.00 Edelbrock carburetor sitting on top of the 352.

Very minimal rust.
Everything I need is there!!
Still going to need floor pans but the cab mounts are clean!!

and so are the center mounts..

Bed floor and cross members ......Clean!!

Looks like it took a hit on the front driver side.

Will be picking it up this weekend....And get better pics....
$500.00

Hey jecsd1..........Did you find any hinges yet?

Good deal.
Beats driving 400+ miles to come get this 64 bed.

Well...
I dont want all the extra doors on the bed.
Will have to weigh the options of patching them up or swapping floors
Alot of extra work!!
But for the price and all the other parts I needed..I couldnt pass it up..
Any luck finding your short bed?

For Missouri it is a lucky find!!!
Truck came up outta Southern Arkansas not long ago..
Native Missouri trucks dont hold up like this...

Got the Donor home today!!
Had her running in about 3 hours...
Not running on all cylinders, But should be rebuildable..

What was the key on the Driver side of the hood for??

Core support still good...Just a little tweaked.

But there aint nuthin wrong with the Radio...

Was listening to it while cleaning it out.

Alarm system maybe? Some of the old car alarms had a key to turn on/off.

Dot...
I thought it might be something like that...
It is electrical....
I didnt think they had alarms back then..

The paint on it look's original to the truck.
