Recently got a really nice '66 U15 with 289 meaning it is later year production. I figured I would ask "The Experts" on here some questions specific to the '66 year model. I found the thread that goes over the main features but have few questions maybe y'all can add your expertise to. So hear it goes:
1. What color should the coolant overflow tank be painted...I have seen some black and some gold??
2. Can or should the FORD letters on tailgate be body color or Off White?
3. What color should tailgate handle/latch be...body color, silver, black??
4. Any reason not to add roll bar...I just like going with hard top off and bikini top but this is an uncut with hard top.
5. Should FORD letters in grille be red or just off white same as grille?
6. Engine block and valve colors old ford blue but is it correct for Air Cleaner to be Black?
7. What is going rate for set of nice original hub caps if I can locate some??
8. Anyone have any original '66 bumpers lying around in good shape?
Really appreciate the input and expertise I know you guys can provide.
Happy 4th!
