Ford launched its F-Series of light-duty trucks in 1948 as vehicle production was rebounding after World War II. Its variants have been around now for 76 years, and the F-Series has been the industry’s bestseller for most of that time. This 1966 F100 wears an older restoration and is generally in great shape with all sorts of newer stuff. Though not perfect, it’s a turnkey pickup you could put to work right away. Located in Santa Rosa, California, this beauty is available here on Barn Finds Classifieds for $18,500 (reduced from $19,500).

Fourth-generation Ford F-Series trucks were produced from 1961 to 1966. This included the unsuccessful unibody editions through 1963 where the cab and bed were integrated as one. A redesign came in 1965 with a new platform that employed a “Twin I-Beam” suspension in the front (which is still used today in some models). The seller’s truck was restored about 10 years ago and a custom hardwood flatbed resides where the stock bed once lived.

Part of the restoration was a crate 351 cubic inch “Windsor” V8 which is said to run great after 32,000 miles. The seller highlights an extensive list of stuff that was new to the truck then or now. That includes headers, dual exhaust, a C4 automatic transmission, a rebuilt 9” rear-end, power steering, power front disc brakes, and an assortment of suspension pieces. Vintage air conditioning was added but never charged or used.

The body and Wimbledon White paint are quite nice, except for a little rust trying to brew atop the doors (a known F-Series problem?). The glass was all replaced, the bench seat was redone, and a stereo system was installed. The seller is sending along more new stuff for the buyer to install, including a headliner kit and new gauges. Spare parts galore are also a piece of the deal. If you’re looking for a vintage pickup that is in driver-quality condition and yet still retains its “cool,” could this one be it?
