1966 Ford F100 EFI Conversion
 |
Yowsers! We've been working on this F100 project for about a year now
and I still haven't made this link work until now, so I guess I'd better explain what all these pics are of.
Every once in a great while, we take on a non-Bronco project, or a project that is on a car that doesn't belong
to or live with the greater staff of BajaBronco.com. Well, this time we did both. The owner of this
1966 Ford F100 shortbed wants it to be a fun hauler for a later model Mustang they race. Here's the basic
idea: Ford Lightning Pickup circa 1966. Well, not quite that crazy but you get the picture: 5.8 EFI,
4 wheel disc brakes, power steering, AOD trans, power brakes. It's been a journey and it's still not
finished. See below for details on some of the stumbling blocks as well as neat fixes, etc. If you are building
a similar rig and have any questions = Email

| When Greg, the owner, picked this truck up it was pretty clean. Basicly
a 1966 F100 Custom Cab shortbed truck with the extra gauges in the instrument panel and the toolbox built
into the lower bed. Someone put a cheaper white paintjob on it and did the interior in grey late-model
fuzz. The motor, trans and the rest of the truck was basicly stock. It originally had a 352 V8 engine
and 3 speed automatic trans. Original color was beige. The only rust I've found is in the floors where
someone patched it up with a roadsign. The same innovative genius used speaker wire and a pushbutton switch
for the starter, glue everywhere in the interior and probably cried when his Dixie Chicks CD got stuck
in the CD player.
