This is my beloved 1966 Ford Pickup which was a GIFT from my even more beloved wife Barbara. The truck is affectionately nicknamed Ethel. Ethel has a stock 352 FE Y block motor, recently rebuilt C6 trans and newly rebuilt steering and brakes. Although she isnt pretty, this beast is my daily driver. She starts with one turn of the key,and so far no engine work has been needed. she has the stock exhaust manifolds but the single pipe has been converted to duals with glass packs. Future plans include a 4 bbl manifold and carb, and an electronic ignition. also full paint and body, the color will be the original blue, new cloth panels for the original seatcover as the vynal is still really good and the back of the seat has a bitchin gear and lightning bolt Ford logo. Also new headliner, chrome bezzels for the headlights and front turn signals among other things including a possible suspension upgrade for a smoother ride, as she tends to ride a bit rough (doesnt bother me but the wife has a bad back). Ethel has manual steering and brakes so far all the "Silly boys trucks are for girls" chicks, NOT THIS ONE DARLIN'. lol. This Ol girl is a dream come true for me and I want to publicly thank My wife Barbara for buying her for me. I love you Sweetheart.
