1966 F250 Camper Special with automatic transmission, 2 wheel drive, rebuilt 352, posi rear end, and good tires. Roughly 215,000 original miles. The truck was originally purchased by a friend of my father in laws in Green Bay. He passed away in 1969 and my father in law had owned it from that point on until he sold it to me a couple of years ago. It has always been a well maintained and spent most of it's time parked waiting for the next fishing/camping/hunting trip. I've put about 500 miles on it since I've owned it.
The truck is all original with the exception of the rims which are steel one piece from Schwabs as nobody would work on the original split rims. Tailgate has never been used as the truck was originally purchsed with a cabover camper with a crank loading system that prevented the tailgate from closing. The orignial seat has almost never been used as my father in law didn't think it was comfortable so he retrofit a chevy seat. Also comes with all original manuals, a box of spare gaskets, exhaust manifolds, thermostats and other parts.
As an extra incentive to Green Bay Packer Fans, the truck has an original sticker from Super Bowl 1, 2, 3 declaring the Green Bay as the "Triple Title Town".
This truck would make an excellent candidate for a restoration, which is what I had planned to do with it. Unfortunately, I just don't have the time to do it and the wife is getting a little tired of the old green truck sitting along side of the house.
Asking $1,000/obo.
I'll post pictures this afternoon. PM me if you'd like any more details.

Sorry about the pictures. Should have them up this afternoon.
I'm also willing to entertain trades of equal value. I'm always looking for decent shotguns, handguns, fishing equipment, etc.

The paint is a bit oxidized, but the body is very straight. I haven't had time to do anything other than hose off the dust, so the paint will clean up a lot better when it get's a good wash. The oxidation rubs out with light hand pressure. The truck has never been wrecked, has surprisingly few dings and drives very well for a 40 year old truck!

The interior is completely stock with the exception of the small oil pressure gauge next to the steering column. I haven't had a chance to clean it up at all (note the dust on the dash) so this is exactly how it has looked inside the truck for a few years. The original seat and tailgate are still in my attic so I'll get pictures of those up as soon as I can tunnel my way into them.

That's the original paint in the bed of the truck with a few scrapes from putting the camper on and off. It's solid as can be.

You can tell it's even got the original windshield from this sticker. I believe the last time that Green Bay was a "Triple Title Town" was Super Bowl #1, #2, and #3!
This truck would make a great candidate for a restoration. The body is straight, stock and solid. The motor is solid and has all original parts, right down to the wood stopper in the windshield wash fluid reservoir bag. Only thing missing are the original split rim wheels and any shop that has a set of those bombs are only too happy to get rid of them.
Send me a PM if you'd like to see any other pictures!

TTT again! This truck is a perfect restoration project for somebody with the time!
I'm looking for some wood working power tools, a lefty 30-06 for my brother in law, or a decent pistol. I would like to get this truck moved before the snow starts to really pile up so make me an offer!

Any body rust?

Nope. It has one small spot of rust in the hood in front of the battery and a bit of scale along some of the seams. The bed is discolored from having the old camper loaded and unloaded, but it's as solid as can be.
Responded to your PM.

Trade that I had lined up fell through due to me not needing a whole lot of junk in trade for my truck!
Headed for the electronic bay next week!

No problem Phil! I've been too busy to deal with it lately myself so she's just sitting waiting for a buyer. I haven't had time to list it on the electronic bay or even in the local paper. Maybe when the freezing fog burns off I remember to get her on her way!
