Thanks!
Yep, recaps with about 2-300 mi on them installed 33 yrs ago. On original rims dated 5-66. They look great but will replace after initial testing.
The front tires wheels are new. Toyo 170’s
22.5’s on front. Stock are 20’s.
Using a new take out King Ranch interior. Heated and cooled front and heated rear seating.
Once truck done the plan is to build a rollback or flat bed then have a self contained Camper on back that will be removable. In planning stages now but will most likely be 96" wide and 20' long at a...
Engine or Transmission have never been out. Only things done to engine are intake and valve cover gaskets and a waterpump. Engine bay has never been restored or messed with. Still original air cleaner, carb, dist. Inside trunk looks nearly new also. Even the suspension still has all original...
Few requests for more info on my '66 N Crew This is the only known to exist 1966 N Crew Cab and was built by Ford's Louisville, KY truck plant for use as a Hy-Rail truck for the Northern Pacific Railway back in July 1966. (There is a 1967 N Crew out there also) So so far these 2 are only...
I do have a few build threads and could do one here if enough interest. It will be 3 yrs in March since I bought the truck. Kind of reason I decided to let the RaptorR go away I would rather invest the $$ into projects like this although loved the R.
I only buy what I think is cool and build for myself. I like the Ford stuff from 1966 as then no emissions here in AZ.
I often sell one to start another project but would like to keep this one. Sell one of the other 10 trucks when completed. With old age kicking in things have really slowed down.
Yes, And I am keeping the Eaton 6.50/9.04 2 speed diff. This will give me a low gear low range 3 mph per 1000 rpm and a high gear high range 30 mph per 1000 rpm.
20 forward 2 reverse speeds. Interior is a new take out King Ranch with heated and cooled seating in front and heated seating in...
Bought a N series tractor from neighbor to help move big stuff around and also to spread gravel to help control the dust.
Also added a couple awnings to help keep sun n rain off many projects stored outside.
Cyclone doing well. 500 miles so far in heat now that weather finally cooled can drive it more. The C-6 has never been rebuilt and it hesitates going in drive. Guess is forward clutch seal bypasses until warm.
May pull engine at same time for what appears to be rear main oil leak.
Was able...
