Vehicle Memories - 1966 Ford F-100

1966 Ford F100.

I’m kind of guessing on the year here. The body style of the 1966 seems right.

In the early to mid 1970s, my dad got an older Ford F-100 and fixed it up. I’m not sure of the original color of the truck... it might have been a dark army green, but my dad painted it minty green.

I remember riding around town in the back of this truck with my brothers, cousins, dogs, etc.

That’s another thing you never see these days… kids (or anyone for that matter) riding around in the back of a pickup truck. But in the 70s and 80s, it was a fairly common sight… trucks hurtling down the interstate freeway with the back of it full of kids… sitting on the edge of the pickup bed.
