Building the fourth-generation F-Series was quite an eventful experience for the Blue Oval, as the latter was forced to change the design several times during the truck’s five-year production run between 1961 and 1966.
Right off the bat, the fourth-gen F-Series came out as a bit of a strange offering, sitting closer to the road compared to the previous generation. Ford also decided to weld the cab and body together initially, in order to ditch the cab-bed gap. This decision was short-lived, as the carmaker would eventually revert to a separate cab and bed design in 1964.

For the 1965 and '66 models, Ford introduced an all-new F-Series frame, although the overall design of the body would remain the same – apart from the repositioned turn signals, now resting above the headlights.

Also, these were the first F-Series trucks to offer an output beyond 200 horsepower, courtesy of a 352 ci V8 engine. Of course, that’s nothing compared to what we just stumbled upon here, while scouring the Internet for unique classics getting auctioned off.

This is a 1966 Ford F-100, and aside from the visuals (we’ll get there in a second), we’re dealing with a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 engine, sending power to the rear wheels via a 4R100 four-speed automatic gearbox. Unfortunately, we don’t know exactly how much power this thing is putting down, but it’s probably nothing negligible.

Even more impressive than the powertrain are the looks. Aside from being repainted in gray (from its original Wimbledon White), this stylish F-Series comes with LED lighting, dual side-exist exhaust outlets, rear roll pan, wood-floor cargo bed, an extended-height hood (for the supercharger), and titanium-finished 20-inch Rocket Racing Attack wheels with 245/40 front and 255/45 rear Nitto NT55 G2 rubber. Look close and you’ll also see four-wheel disc brakes with drilled rotors.

Other noteworthy upgrades include a Mustang-sourced rack-and-pinion steering system, aftermarket front suspension and adjustable coilover shock absorbers.

Moving on to the interior, we see a gorgeous tan leather bench seat with perforated inserts, which can also be found on the door panels, center console, visors and even the headliner. Completing the vibe are the tan carpets, power windows (with crank-style controls), lap belts, Vintage Air climate control, a reverse-view camera, Kenwood touchscreen stereo, plus a Rockford Fosgate sound system with Infinity speakers and a subwoofer.

Another beautiful touch is the leather-wrapped Lecarra steering wheel, mounted on a tilt-adjustable column, positioned beneath a custom dash panel with carbon-style bezels. The truck also features auxiliary gauges lower in the center console.

With only a few hours left to bid, you’ll need to shell out over $62,000 to land this beauty in your driveway. This is without a doubt one of the cleanest, most impressive custom F-Series trucks we’ve seen all year.
