Very hard
to find & sought after 1966 F250 "Custom Cab" factory 4x4. This is
a neat mostly original paint classics Ford 4x4. It was a one
owner truck and only has 82,326 original miles on it. The body isn't
perfect, and has some battle scares, I prefer to call it character.
It is pretty much rustfree. I would call it 99%
rustfree, which isn't bad for 47 years old. The only rust is at
the rear of the bed below the tail light, see pics. It is where
the tires through mud and debris. You will also see some holes in the
bottom of the front fenders, they are where the old timer had put bolts
the hold the fenders in place at the bottom. We took the bolts out
and put the proper hardware back in place. Other than
the addition of an am/fm radio, this truck is totally original.
The original 352 has had a valve job, and runs like a watch, the clutch
is smooth, and it drives nice. It also has power brakes.
You will also
notice that the bed doesn't look like it has the same body lines as the
cab. And you are correct. In the mid 60's Ford found out
that the factory bed was cracking and braking on the 4x4 trucks so Ford
started putting the older 60 and earlier beds on to fix the problem.
This is just how this truck was built from Ford in 1966. If you
look back through my "Sold Archive" you will see other pre 67 Fords I
have sold that are that way. This
truck is an excellent driver for the year, and has a neat rugged look.
