1966 F-100 Rest-Mod Build

3 minute(s) of a 3 minute read

This is my first truck build. Always wanted to do one though. It took me 5 months of looking to finally find this one. It was rough and in pieces but I knew it had potential. I worked on this thing before work, after work, and on weekends and was able to finish the build in 9 months. The biggest issue I ran into was long lead on items due to the "supply chain" issues going around. I built this thing from the frame up. It is a 1966 F100 Body, interior, and frame with a 2003 Crown Vic Police Interceptor motor, transmission, driveshaft, rear end, and front suspension. The truck has been lowered about 5 inches and is running 2008 Mustang GT/CS 18" wheels. I also relocated the fuel tank from behind the seat to under the bed. Made and installed a custom wood bed cover. Dakota Digital gauges and a Retro-Sound AM/FM Bluetooth radio. I'm a mechanical engineer and was able to design and 3D print several custom brackets and other items.
