That is a super SUPER sweet truck! The bay looks like it's better than brand new! Very nice job.
So when is it going in the classifieds? 

Thanks All!

As soon as someone makes me an offer I cannot resist! LOL
Found another FE powered vehicle with under 7500 orig miles so ya never know . .

What method/products do you use to clean the underside of the hood, firewall, etc to get the years of baked on gunk off?  It looks great!

What I call "Magic Soap"

Soaps I have been mixing up for over 25yrs. Most of the time just spray on and rinse with hot water. Some times it takes a bit of wipe with a soft cloth.
If you notice the diff it made on wiring etc too. Clean everything with it. Some Items I will also use Evapo-Rust

Where is the dealership where you found this truck on the floor?

KS

Found abandoned from new inside the old Read Mullan Ford Dealership here in Phoenix . . LOL  It was built in November 1969 but not sold until June 1970. Guess it was a bit expensive for average buyer.  At first was not sure of color combo myself but now its starting to look great. Per Marti Report only 69 F250's were built in this color combo.

Few of Dash and interior

Inside of doors look NOS

Care to share the recipe, or will Tyler Durden show up for talking about making soap in too open of a manner?  :-)

LOL!!

You're killing me with this stuff. I would LOVE to find one just like that to make into a period car hauler. I have a '54 COE, but to make it worthy and reliable enough (ie: with driveline parts you can actually find) for a car hauler would just cost too much.

That truck is beautiful. I passed on a couple some years back and now the prices are going up for the reasons I mentioned. Seriously regretting it now

It drives so nice I cannot keep out of it . . .

Wife wanted to run to Costco, 20 mile round trip. We took the Fire Truck!
Total hoot to drive it drives so well. Stops better than my Stock '66 F100

5520 Miles on it now . .  Over 100 Miles put on it already.

7.01 MPG the first Tank. But that was a lot of stop and go only 6 miles freeway @ 60-65 mph
Driving around GoodGuys, local driving not to mention for 1/2 that tank it was on 7 Cylinders.

Be nice to get 10 MPG . . LOL

The 5 spd and 2 spd rear axle make it nice for cruising.

Absolutely LOVE driving it. The Original tires take a few miles to smooth out, other than that its great.

The intent has always been to make a Ramp Truck. Just had to find the right one. Had to be a 1966 F Series that was nice enough I did not have to tear apart and paint (restore).

So I will sell the water tank and do up a nice homebuilt Ramp. I have some very nice Semi Style Aluminum 14' Ramps I will use for driving up on.
I will integrate nice storage cabinets etc. Make it look 1966-70 Era.

Truck has a 20,000 GVW so no worry about going over weight.

Check out spark plugs.

Leaving show yesterday it started running very rough obviously not running proper on at least one cylinder.

What I found when pulling plugs kind of surprised me. Plugs looked very clean but #3 had a issue. LOL

Plugs were also for a FE not a FT, proper plugs installed with proper gap and it runs much much better now.

It did not really miss at first just not smooth,

Hard work with a purpose pays off.  All of the detail work around the 390 just helps to show it off better, looks great
