I thought those looked an awful lot like chebby aluminum wheels. Was thinkin they wouldn't fit the bolt circle though??? Brain :fart:, 3/4 ton - therefore 8 lug. Lol, I am not even going to get started on the K Mart style restoration. At least it looks like it wasn't painted with a roller & Sears Weatherbeater.
Have another beer Greg.

Technically, the 67 tailgate is correct as a replacement from Ford. I'm not sure when Ford first introduced the later gate on the assembly line, but seems I've seen those gates on 66 Fords years ago. However, those could have been replacements.

I have heard these claims. There was some guy on the old site swore he knew the owner from birth bla bla bla, and he never changed out the gate and had one of those.
Maybe, but that theory don't hold a pinch of coon sh*t in this case. The truck is a '65.
It's a race.. Will hell freeze over or will JC finish his truck first. Stay tuned..

Well this is a first, the flex-o-matic battery hold down is actually a bicycle tire tube 8) That is ingenius. If the battery gets loose, just add air!!! :rotflmao:

Let me add that when I bought my 66 3/4 ton (which is how my Ranger started), it was also an original owner truck that came from desert climate. The PO was selling it due to health reasons and old age. However, it was not pimped out in ultra tacky doodad decor :lol: It had added features such as a full ashtray of butts, rolling papers in the glove box, 2 pounds of dog hair under the seat, AND a prestine original seat under the wore out seat cover. Not a piece of trim was missing and absolutely everything worked. I was very fortunate he did not listen to CDs as most 80 year men don't BTW (the dash was not hacked) and he had never heard of the internet of EVILBAY. :twisted:

This truck is a joke conspy.gif

Definitely a funny thread. Nice list, JC! :cheers: :rotflmao:

I'm just glad my '65 didn't have as many 'doodad decor' add-ons as this truck does. The only real added stuff is a bunch of dents & some rust...still has the original radio, in an uncut dash. Gotta love that. :D

Hey I am from California too. Don't throw me into that mix. If it was an orignial owner, never unused car, it would still have the black license plate also, I cant tell that it has been spray painted but, I love the fast and the furious tail pipe. It totally adds 20 horsepower. Other than those things its a fairly nice truck that if I was in the market for a 3/4 ton I would look at it. I sure as hell wouldn't offer 10,000 for it. Its a 3000.00 truck in California in my opinion
Cheers,
Jarrod
