1966 Ford F100 Custom Cab from North America - Comments

Bent push rod, two rocker arm bolts pulled out of head, fuel pump died, gas tank coated due to poor gas, radio broke.

I wouldn't trade this truck for any new trucks! It still runs great, does need a brake job but it has the original brakes on it. Other than that it keeps on truckin'!

I have a 66' F-100 Custom Cab also, and I completely agree with you! It is an incredible automobile! I have put a re-built 390ci Thunderbird V-8 in it, but that's just 'cause the previous owner drove its original engine to the grave... otherwise, it's bulletproof!

Yep, he is right, I have a 66' Ford F100, and though it goes through its occasional problems, I would not trade it for any new car. My truck is the bomb!

My 65 F100 is an incredible truck, pretty much all orignal, very little modified. Has the original 352 big block that was rebuilt 4 years ago. But this truck is solid. 3 on the tree with manual overdrive (works). Original AM radio, I just added Old Air Products in dash air conditioning. This truck does not smoke at all, runs quiet and solid. One of the best Ford ever built as far as I'm concerned.

I own a 1966 Ford F100 Custom Cab. I will not give that truck up. I have the original 352 in it. That pick up belonged to the state highway department, here in N.M. It sat for 15 years, it got so much dirt down under the intake manifold, so it starved itself from oil. now its knocking!. I am having a hard time finding a 352 engine. Does anybody out there think that it is possible, that if I tear it apart and clean out that dirt, that the knocking will stop? Or will I have to buy new parts. As soon as I heard the knocking, I haven't ran the engine. Rudy fixitlascruces@gogrove.com

I owned a 1966 F-100 Stepside for 12 years, and did most of the work on it myself. I loved that truck and regret to this day for ever selling it. I had so many great times in it that will stay in my memory for ever. I lived in Memphis, Tn. then, and now live in Nebraska. The truck was a deep burgundy color and had 68 GTO bucket seats, a nice stereo, a three speed Hurst shifter and hooker headers. Sold it to a gent who owned a trucking company and he said he was going to use it to advertise the company. Sure wish I could find it, or one like it, and buy it back. Feels like I gave up a member of my family. Today I drive a custom built 1996 Ford ranger step-side. I love FORDS!!!
