Hey all...I posted a request a week or so ago for info on my latest project, a '67 F100. Got some great references to websites and have been checking them out quite a bit lately. Thanks!
I got last Friday afternoon off unexpectedly, so I ended up out at a friend's farm who has a '68 and a '69 F-100 parts truck he said I could take whatever I wanted for parts. I brought along the digital camera to document things before I started parts removal and just posted the pictures this evening. Thought someone might be interested in killing a couple minutes checking them out:

Nice to have the selection of parts. I'd like to stick an under dash A/C unit in mine. Doesn't really matter to me if original, but I guess the original is nice from a "purist" point of view. You can check out some pix of the last weekends field day. We had it at a fire training facility. "Richmond TX" They got a few shots of the truck at different angles. "The four pictures across labeled "Mark's Beam", and the one labeled "Anthony-Fox news". Fox came out with a camera dude, and shot pix. They put us on TV that night. We mentioned the "Homeland security" aspect of it, and they ate that crap up. :) Usually, they film us, but don't put us on much. I just got rid of the old split rims and bias truck tires, and got some tubeless wheels for
10$ a piece from a friend at a salvage yard. They were varying colors, and I decided to paint them white, instead of the black I used to have. White was the original wheel color on that truck. I'd like to find some 3/4 ton hubcaps to go on them as was original. They are not as easy to find as 1/2 ton hubcaps though. Also switched to radial tires. One shot has a good rear view of my weird camper setup. The upper part of the tailgate was off in that shot. Pretty weird looking with that narrow cap on a utility bed, but it's very functional, and it's still wider than the inside walls. That bed is 7.5 ft, and the standard 8 ft shell is too long. That shell is probably from a midsize. I slept in it that night for the first time, and it was pretty comfortable. I've got carpet in the back. You can see a good shot of my mobile antenna in one of the beam shots. It's home made, and works all bands 80-10. It's ten feet tall, and center loaded in that shot, and I also have an extra 3 ft extender mast I can stick under that if I really wanna get with it. I hauled the beam and tower on a motorcycle trailer this year. Worked great.. MK
