1966 Ford F100: The Blue Oval Brawler

Ford guys don't get enough credit. While Chevy C10s are getting bid up to stupid money, the Ford F100 sits right next to them with the same mid-century swagger and half the price tag. This '66 is fourth-generation F-Series — the last of the squared-off, no-nonsense work trucks before Ford softened everything up in the '70s. With that twin-I-beam front end and a bed that's actually been used for hauling, she's the kind of truck that earned every dent. Only one photo, so you'll have to come see her in person — but the price is right, the desert's kept the rust away, and F100 values are climbing fast. Drop a 302 Windsor in her, lower the rear, and you've got a classic truck that'll turn heads without emptying the 401k. Or keep her stock and enjoy the rarest thing in the classic truck world: a Ford that Chevy guys respect.
