1966 F100 EcoBoost Engine Swap (EcoBoosted)

[TimeWarpF100]

I am now curious as to what the color was on that cab?

Non standard truck color a Special Order Tahoe Turquoise Metallic. Interior is also neat as Parchment, White & Tahoe Turquoise & a touch of Black with a Gold Carpet. (Factory Bucket Seats)

Very few F-250 Ranger's known to exist.

The only reason I asked was it is very close to the Color of my Falcon.

It does look very close in color! Do you know what the paint code is for your color?

Your falcon is a 1966 Also?

In paint book my color shows as Lincoln/Thunderbird. Appears special order on Truck. My Data plate is blank for Color indicating special order color.

Yes 1966 model. Color is Green Velvet Metallic. Paint code is T now that may just be an Aussie code. I googled the code here and sadly the listing only goes back to 1968.

You sure don't have a shortage of projects there, do you? Looks like enough to keep you busy until around the year 2112.

The term "which one of these is not like the others" comes to mind here. How long did you own the Superbird?

I love both the 1/18:1 and the 1:1 models.

 

[TimeWarpF100]

Not really wanting to get into health issues but
All turned south since the biopsy and following procedure on back.
It became quite infected so reluctantly took antibiotics
But of course I had major allergic reaction. Even tho
The med was stopped last Friday the reactions continue.
Woke up other morning with eyes swollen nearly shut.
Ended up in Mayo ER yesterday where very reluctantly
Took steroid to stop the swelling. Hands and fingers also swollen to point I could barely
Move fingers. Took the steroid 2x which now seems to be making it worse.
6 more weeks lost and things getting worse.
Stark reminder to last go around.

Damn, sorry to hear of your current setback, I hope the medical folks will be able to get you fixed up sooner than later. You have my best wishes!

Wow so sorry to hear that, I too have been struggling with antibiotic reaction.
Hard time walking with all the inflammation. I feel your pain, maybe literally.


Hang in there, like my wife always says "this too shall pass"

Sorry to hear Randy, take your time and get better!

Its now 9 weeks since the what should have been very minor procedure.
Should have been healed in just 2 weeks. not 100% healed but at least its finally skinned over with no more threat of infection.

Cannot imagine what would happen to the immune system if something not so minor came along.

On those days I could get in 15 minutes to an hour I tinkered with '66 427 Truck. Got in a couple hours yesterday.

The 304 stainless exhaust is now all tacked together I just need to add the crossover at end of headers to get the sound I want.

Once that's done I can remove system and final TIG weld. I will also pull the headers for final weld and then have them ceramic coated here local.

I got word late last week the Custom SCHOTT wheels should ship this week! After 9 yrs waiting that's great news! (ordered 7 weeks ago or so)

 

[lugnut71]

Awesome, glad to hear your doing better and the wheels are still spinning !

[TimeWarpF100]

Photobucket testing.
Exhaust I have been working on.

[Mr onetwo]

Good news Randy! Can't wait to see those wheels.

 

[MP&C]

Finally, someone who knows how to do exhaust! Heard and not seen!


Randy, did you opt for the $400 photobucket plan?

 

[JonBoehman]

That exhaust looks great. I want to copy that for my truck

 

[TimeWarpF100]

Good news Randy! Can't wait to see those wheels.

Wheels shipped yesterday FedEx
Due tomorrow!
Hope I measured correctly..
