I will try to get more pics of undercarriage, underhood in next few days.

Sad to say must sell another of my trucks so I can get going on my 66 427 Project truck.

A very nice 1966 F100 LB Regular Cab.

Original 352 2v in it now with a 3 spd on column.  Engine runs great, over next few days am dropping in a new clutch along with a rebuilt 390 4v.
Complete rebuild incl of course pistons, rings, brgs, valve work etc.  Has a Edelbrock Alum intake and Edel Carb. I may swap the carb for a Holley from a 390 GT.

Body is very straight and 100% Rust free.  It has had one cheap paint job in its time but looks pretty good.

Undercarriage is nothing short of incredible with no surface rust on frame, ink stamping's still visible on driveshaft etc. Rear axle, backing plates are pretty much surface rust free. Absolutely no rust anywhere.

5800.00 Includes the 390 and of course we can put the original good running 352 on pallet in box of truck.

Also sad to say the other two trucks in last pic have been sold.

Very nice! I have a soft spot for 66 f-100's, that was my first vehicle.

Thanks! I have a yard full of nice rust free trucks if you want to buy one . . . LOL

You could always take this '65 off my hands . . .

Got some time to fit tailshaft and had to modify strut mount as the aircleaner was touching .Hope to fit up extractors saturday.

Looks great!  What about hood clearance?

BTTT, Motivated to sell this truck. Trying to add on to shop & just do not have the funds. Need to finish my EcoBoost and 427 Project trucks. This will really help to put a dent in that to get a cover over my equip and parts. Just no room to move in current shop.

If one were to make an attempt to build this truck it would easily cost double or more my asking price.

Timewarp,
That black 67 Comet 427 is a rare one!  Do you have a Marti report for it?  From what I remember reading in the Fairlaner magazine, a little under 300 Ford intermediates were built with 427s in 1967.  That includes all Comet and Fairlane body styles with both the W code (4V) and R code (8V) versions.  So yours may be rare indeed!

There were only 6 427 "R" Capri's built

Total number of 427 Comet's was 60 Cars

I have all 427 Fairlane & Comet VIN's along with all invoice info for the 60 427 Comets

1 W code Capri

15 Cyclone R codes

22 202 R Codes

4 Caliente R codes

8 Cyclone W Codes

6 R Code Capri's

These are the numbers I remember but something is off as that is only 56 cars. Will have to look at my spread sheet to see what is missing.
I know there were some Cyclone GT's too but do not remember the breakdown.

Getting to grips with pre-paint panel alignment and final fitment.  Have installed the doors and aligned the trailing edge with the leading edge of the quarter panel and the door bottom with the upper edge of the rocker panel, using the old paint stick alignment gauge.   So far so good.

But beggared if I can get a nice alignment along the trailing edge of the front fenders and the leading edge of the doors.  It's at the point where I'm really stumped.

It has dawned on me, maybe I shouldn't be attempting this on a uni-body car with the drivetrain out and perhaps this is part of the current issue.  Is it possible the combined weight of the 390 and C6 would impart a sag to the front of the car that would correct the front fender alignment issue.  Or that if I do get the fender alignment sorted without the power train in, that when the engine/trans are installed it's going to throw things out of wack again?

Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.

   

I would say the 66-67 Comets/Cyclone has the best body panel fit of any old car. Usually very easy to get perfect body panel fit.  Just align back of door so its perfect gap to quarter with proper fairly tight gap and the fenders should fall into place.
