Got some new shoes for '66 F100
« on: May 18, 2018, 06:33:21 PM »
I bought this truck a couple of years ago but haven't really been able to drive because the tires were shot. So today I finally got some new tires for it. The wheels I have had for a long time but never put them on anything. I think they look pretty good on the old truck even if  I do say so myself. I put about 30 miles on it today and it runs out pretty good so far. It has a '68 390 2V in it with a C6 and as it stands today I think that's just the way it will stay. This is a work in progress and just a driver.  :)

Those are American Racing Rodmaster wheels. They don't make them anymore. They look a lot like Halibrand wheels.

Thanks, Jay. It's a nice 10 footer. Get up close and it has some warts and I am ok with that. I bought it as a retirement(not retired yet) project so it's a work in progress. I am just wanting a fun cruiser...no show truck.

Nice truck Alan. I saw a 65 3/4 ton yesterday at our yearly flea bag. I`m gonna go back today and see how much they want for it. I need a new tow truck for the toys, one of these would fit the bill nicely. Easy to work on and classy at the same time!

Trust me I have asked myself the same question...many times. I was past the point of no return on the  Mustang when I got this truck. I was either going to have to finish the 'Stang or give it away(relatively speaking). Project cars just don't bring much.
