This video is about 1966 Ford F250 Crew Cab - ORIGINAL BARNFIND SURVIVOR BODY, ZERO RUST PATINA TRUCK - Body is ORIGINAL condition unrestored 1966 2WD F250 placed on a 1968 4WD F250 frame & suspension. #F100 #F250 #F350 CREW CAB
Nice find. I found my one owner, original '62' F 250 4x4 sitting in a hog lot in NE Nebraska in 1981. He had ordered it w factory one ton axles, thirteen leaf springs in the rear and of course no radio. Couple years later I had to swap out the 292 w a 292 from a Thunderbird. It has been parked since 1996 and I just pulled it out of a dry quenset to revive it. Wish me luck!
Great video! I miss my old '66 flatbed... it was same color as yours. I drove it on movie & TV productions all over America. It was in the background on many episodes of the CBS TV series Northern Exposure. Yes, I let it get away, but I'll buy it back someday, no matter how much it costs me. The love for an old truck never fades.
The engine LOOKS legit. It's an FE block. The truck looks great however it can not be passed of as original with the change of frame! The front axle is a heavy duty Dana 44 that came in most F-250 350 including the Hiboy Ford p/ups. The rear is a Dana 60. The transfer case appears to be a divorced NP 205 which is an outstanding substitution to the Spicer models that came stock. All metal gears and a nice low range ratio! However! The disappointment is in choosing that year frame. The 44 was vulnerable to axle shaft breakage due to the hour glass shape near the axle spline ends. They did not come with disc breaks till 1976-77 which is a huge disappointment. I would have chosen a 77 or newer!
Love the constructive comments. Agree with all of them. We took this baby in just as you see it. Washed her down and put her on the auction block. We wanted to clarify they the "original" was directed to the condition of the natural patina body which has never had any mods, bodywork, etc. hard to find these that haven't had a ton of rust or bodywork.
Guess I'm a little late, but if this truck ever goes up for sale again, Let me know. I would love to buy it! I think its funny how many comments attack the truck for not being original but if you watch and listen to the video they tell you everything as honestly as possible. People are strange but this truck is really cool. Wish I didn't miss it..
Beautiful truck in amazing condition! Some people who leave comments obviously either don't watch and listen to the entire video, or they have no business driving an automobile. You can tell the automobile enthusiast from the clueless pretty easy.
She's a beauty! Watch how he is moving the steering wheel 4 to 5 inches, left to right, just to maintain a straight line going down the road. LOL!!! My Dad had a few old fords, as did I. From 69 to 95, and they all had that same slop in the steering. You would think that Ford would have fixed this problem. I haven't driven any of their brand new trucks, so I can only hope that this is no longer an issue.
I have a 69 f250 4x4 crew cab w/tulsa series 5 pto the older body styles were nice mine has factory high boy original papers one day it will be as nice as yours
Hop boy I’m a Chevy man but I just came into a 1960 Ford 3/4 ton 4x4 crew cab, it drives great with a fresh 390, it needs much love, a new box, a straight hood and some exterior metal patches( the floor is like new) I’m thinking red and ivory two tone to match my 54 Chevy 3/4 ton. This video just about has my knees knocking LOL!
Beautiful rare truck man, Great find. MY ONLY COMPLAINT is the dang music.... We want to hear the truck, can the song til the still pics, then it'd be great.
@ 6:43 "If anybody ever wanted to have an original, unique crew cab on the road with the comforts of modern technology, this would be the bad boy." What part of this truck has the comforts of modern technology? lol Cool truck though...
Cool ford, I have only seen i other crew cab ford in that body style. Ford also made a crew cab for the 57 to 60 body style. Im sure your pleased with how the truck turned out, and it has to turn heads wherever it goes.
it's like this truck was stuck in time waiting for its rightful owner. too bad it wasn't me. .. But congratulations on your find. I'm looking for a good work truck myself, somethin I can rough up and not cry if it gets a scratch. .
Low beams dont work properly, watch the speedo light when the dimmer switch is pressed. Steering wheel is not factory which takes away from the interior bigtime. Why is it jacked up like that? Would look 10x better with factory hubcaps and wheels.
The patina of the body is original, the frame and running gear are not. The frame itself belongs to the 67-77.5 f250 4x4 generation. So its been swapped.
If I had the money I would buy this truck just to put it in another barn until it's 100th birthday. ( probably couldn't wait that long and bring it out a lot sooner)
I got a 71 crew cab same color too I also got a 66 single cab Long bed engine block still in it just got new push roads it was running fine and Evan 3 of the roads are broke 😂
Why do people ruin beautiful trucks with these ridiculous lift kits. I see the point in a small lift kit maybe just to bring it a little higher but every truck thats jacked up with huge tires looks stupid. and 90 percent of em dont ever see a mountain road....nor would you want to in the case of this beautiful time capsule. Keep the modifications modest, show the truck some respect!
