1966 Ford F-250, California truck with original BLACK PLATES, 352 CID, 4spd. 74m

This truck has passed through three owners. I acquired it in 2006. It showed about 67. 00 miles then and I have the log that the original owners kept. The truck had a cabover camper on it for 38 years and I suspect that it was a weekend RV only. The 1966 under dash A/C blows cold. Clutch new at 68. 00 miles. U joints and trued driveshaft at 68. 00 miles. New radiator. July. 2014. New battery. 2012. about 72. 00 miles. New fuel pump. 2013. The things that I would do if I kept it would be to repaint. as it is losing clear coat. etc. Also. I would plan a rebuild of the engine in the next 5. 00 miles or so. as there is wrist pin noise. This is also sometimes called "piston slap". It is noisy and that is about all. as I have run the engine 7. 00 miles with no incidents. It still pumps good oil pressure and the combustion chambers are clean with good compression in all cylinders. I run it at 60-65 mph easily. but it is revving up there. maybe 3. 00 rpm when I do so.
