Here is yet another Peel-n-Seal install..I used 3-4 rolls of Peel-n-Seal (lost count) and Lowes FrostKing self sticking duct insulation on the roof. I then used the Reflex bubble wrap found in the insulation section on the floor, back and firewall.

Ford Hubcaps and Wheel Vintiques Steel wheels Part 1

Project Disruptive by its' name, causes on to believe that we do not fit the mold.  Yes, going the shiny 20x12 Torque Thrusts may be tempting we are opting for the more traditional route. Looking at F100's on the inter-webs I found a truck to model after.  It uses stock Ford wheels and 57 Ford Fairlane Wagon Hub Caps, Dog dish, poverty cap, whatever you call them. Photo courtesy of Jerry Wassenaars1966-ford-f-100/HotRod.com  https://www.hotrod.com/articles/jerry-wassenaars-1966-ford-f-100/ The quest started looking for these hub caps..Just found some hub caps on Craigslist just like these.  I then searched for the best deal on wheels. Looking at some F100 Jag IFS posts and other F100 forums I decided to go with the Wheel Vintique series 62 - 15x7's up front with the standard 4 1/2 BS and the 15x8's with I believe the standard 4" backspace   They all arrived shipped for around $430.00. Now on to test fitting before painting. Very ...

1966 F100 ABS Headliner on the Cheap!

Image
Being Budget Minded AKA Cheap, I was now ready for the headliner. I did not want to put the traditional cardboard headliner in but I do not want to spend thousands on a custom interior. I saw someone had a 1 piece headliner for the f100's but shipping and the price was getting up there as well.  I found a local supplier for ABS sheeting. I opted for the 1/8 inch black sheet. It was around $40.00 a 4x8 sheet. I took my old cardboard headliner and traced the outline on the smooth side with a grey sharpie. The corners were a little difficult. I sprayed water on the corners and put a heavy  object on both sides in the sun. After some time I placed the flattened corners out and traced them as well. After cutting out all the pieces I started up the trusty propane heater. I gently warmed up the corners and when pliable I formed the hot ABS around my mig welder tank. A couple of tries and it was formed.   The back clips went back as the original....

1966 F100 style side wood bed floor- Can it be done?

-

With the tubs widened 4 1/2 inches and the bed getting a coat of Raptor liner it is time for the wood bed.  The biggest thing to consider is how the wood will fit around the tubs and the gas tank filler tube location.  I  placed cardboard on the floor and just experimented with sizing until I was close. I allowed 1/2 " between boards. I found a local wood worker who was very helpful with the red oak.  The wood had checks and holes which I filled.  Cut grooves for the metal bed strips Stained with Danish Oil As you can see on the metal tubing I welded on tabs to bolt the rear, front and around the wheel wells. I made a trip to Dennis Carpenter to pick up some "Plain Steel" bed strips with no holes.  I bought the bolt kit and figured out where they needed to go. Using the mustang gas tank it puts the filler on an angle. I found that NAPA 1056 Gas Fill Hose was the ticket in fitting my Marine Gas filler. ...
