I would have had another 0 behind that 82 by now! Still ridiculously nice.

I'd have to drive it more than that too. I'd have magnetic inner fender liners and 3M paint protection film everywhere but I'd be driving it whenever it's nice out.

John,
Brilliant work, I cannot add more words of appreciation than have already been uttered here. A Bonza job, mate! After reading the newspaper article, I now know the reason for your avatar. Keep up the outstanding work. Regards from Down Under.  aussiejohn |

Great article but I had to smile a little when I read the line that said it was in such good condition that it didn't require too much work.

Appreciate all the comments!!
The owner had the truck out at Blue Ridge Fest last weekend. We've been going the last 3-4 years and it's always a great show.

Look...it put the Corvette to shame so badly that the owner closed the hood!

Re: 1966 F100 Short/Fleet Full Stock Resto Build Thread
I worked on a summer job from college loading and unloading new Fords (including pickups) on and off rail cars (auto racks) in 1966. This was in the Strawberry Rail Yards of the L&N railroad, and just down the road from the Ford assembly plant in Louisville, KY. That truck looks as good or better than the brand new pickups I remember unloading every day. Seeing that truck brings back the new truck smell I experienced each day. Well done.
