Will be selling one of these trucks. Make offers, don't know which I want to sell.
My early build (October 65) 66. Budd tub. Very little rust, needs drivers floor pan re-replaced. Needs driver's door skin (have a Dynacorn skin), driver's quarter & rocker need work. Hood is the only sheet metal that MAY not be correct. Grill pictured is not on the truck anymore, have a good eyebrow grill that needs body work. Truck should be Caribbean Turquoise, not white. Bench & bulk head were not original, have sold both. Warn winch & front bumper not included. Needs fuel pump, and brakes done. Runs when gas poured into carb, but won't stay running
Parts I've accumulated to do a factory correct resto:
66 front buckets & 67 rear bench, both are from Don Allison's yard, need redone.
Oil bath air cleaner & all brackets & stickers
Very rare sheetmetal driver's air box & repop'd air box to hood seal & cowl seal
2 sets of correct 66 only vac wipers (have spot for helper arm, but no arms)
Early 66 3 speed, correct linkage, & shifter arm
Extra early 66 t-case
2 correct 66 "long" t-case shifters, 2 shift knobs
5 correct 66/67 steel wheels
Correct front & rear bumpers- painted, need straightened - from DA's yard.
66 jack
66 tail light buckets & lenses
66 Dana lock out hubs
66 horn button
Correct mirror head (glass mount)
Jack mount sticker
1 set 66 seat belts (rough condition) & 1 set of 67 seat belts (very close to correct, better shape than 66 belts), both sets should be rewebbed
1 set factory 66 coil springs
Extra steering linkage, radiator, gas pedal
Correct tail gate spare mount

72 Explorer Sport. One of 141 Candyapple red Explorer Sports, original paint. Unicorn truck. Almost all 72 E/S were Dakota Tan or a copper root beer metallic. Lots of talk of possible red ones & possible blue ones, but very few known. Needs outer rockers, floor pans, door post skins & typical inner fenders replaced.
Have deluxe Marti w/ framed window sticker, build info, etc.
Have a nice set of hub caps, 4 turn P/S box fresh rebuild, C4, auto column & t-case, decent used wiper cover.
Also truck runs when gas poured into carb, but won't stay running. Truck was parked after hunting trip, broke something in the rear diff, need brakes done, M/C empty.

Re: Early 66 or 72 Explorer Sport
Dammit im not in the position to buy since I just did my flooring. I'd be very interested in the 72.
