Can you id this ford.

It looks pick up to me too. I thought only the trucks used the horizontally mounted oil filter.

It's a 352 in a 65-66 F100

It's a 352 in a 65-66 F100. The angled oil filter, hand choke and flat top valve covers are the indicators

If the alternator and carb/intake are original...., I believe alternators started in 64 1/2 or '65. The carb appears to be a four barrel 4100 and the style accel pump cover that was used after '64. Definately an FE engine. My Guess is a '65 or '66 Galaxie with a 390, since 352's didn't use a four barrel carb after 1960.

Craig,
Good catch on the manual choke. At first look I thought the choke assembly was just missing. Also thought V8 trucks had auto chokes in '66 ? Could be wrong.

Sal, I've had a '65, '66, and a '67 F100. All were original 352's with manual choke 2100's, alternators and the squared top valve covers. This photo is definitely a pickup from those 3 years. In '68 the pickups got a 360, 2100 with an auto choke and the rounded, Powered by Ford valve covers. I just don't have a picture of any of my old rigs to verify it

Good info Craig. This engine has a 4100 4 barrel. That's why I'm leaning towards a 390. Chances are the carb and intake have been chaged after all theses years. I don't know if a 390 was ever offered in a truck ?

Are you sure you are not looking at a 2100?

[craig]

Take another look Sal, I can see the rear of the mounting flange, and I can't see anything that looks like the secondary throttle plate activator rod that would be on a 4100

If you look closely over the top of the choke plate, you can see one of the screws that holds down the rear of the bowl cover for the rear barrels, plus part of the boss for the vacuum passage to the secondary diaphragm.
All I can say is someone must have disabled the rear two barrels by removing the rod that comes from the diaphragm lever.

Actually, after a better look I can see the tip of the sec. diaphragm lever. Not to mention one of the secondary bowl vent tubes sticking up.

Pretty sure, since I can see one of the rear screws that hold the bowl cover down on the secondary side.

As others have mentioned, those are truck inner fenders. I agree with craig narrowing it down to 65 or 66.

[craig]

Sal, take a look at this carb. I think the castings at the rear are what you think are screws Whoops, no picture!

Sal, go to this site and you'll see the picture

I thought it looked like a 2100 as well. As I remember only the 289 HiPo's were the only 4100 that have manual chokes. And its not a 289! Hard to tell what the carb is for sure.

[rotorwrench]

Friends & family owned Galaxies, LTD, and Mercury Monterey cars in 65 & 66 and I spent time working on them. They don't look like the one in the photo for sure. My Pop had a 66 Ford F100 that looked a lot like what's in the photo. They had the twin I beam front ends.

At this point I see arguments for a 2100 and a 4100. Probably doesn't matter at this point as parts can be changed over all those years.
