Looks like the same color as my truck. I'd love to know the color code.
Color code is F interior is K
I believe since it's a '66, the exterior color code 'F' is called Arcadian Blue.
I think the earlier ('63) similar light blue slicks were called Baffin Blue.

BYR -- Do you know the color & pattern of what the interior 'K' code is?
I am guessing a medium blue crush vinyl & medium blue wicker pattern....

Looks GREAT! I'm envious of the collection!
Just looking at the pic, the tyres on the other two slicks look enormous, what size are they?

F 100's did come with 2 piece rims, just like F 250's, the clue is the gray ring. Here is a F 100 studio photo when new. This one appears to have the white red hubcaps, which a nice contrast agianst black rims. Image

I do not mind the split wheels except when its time to have new tires installed. Know one wants to work on them.
True, these rims are more expensive to deal with and need to be taken only to a truck tire dealer, but these rims give the truck a cool old school look that is rarely seen today.

To keep the look period-correct, a fella would also need to stay with the bias-ply tires as well, radial tires wouldn't have the same 'ol skool' look .......

As I recall, I think a guy also has to install inner tubes as that is what is called for with split rims, no tubeless allowed.....

So I take it that BYR has his nose out of joint (again) and took his ball and went home (again)?
What set him off this time? Last time it was a 16 year old "stealing" his precious pics for a slick 60's album :roll: :roll:
It's a race.. Will hell freeze over or will JC finish his truck first. Stay tuned..
