    I am a proud owner of a 66 A100 P/U. Originally a 273 V8, now sports a 410 HP Indy Cylinder Head crate engine. A couple of questions. The small tag next to the vin tag...what is the purpose? Why English and Spanish?
    Also wanting to put a spare tire mount back into the bed. Does anyone have a spare tire mount that they have cut out of theirs?
    Love driving! Just ordered my Scarbird brackets to convert to disc brakes.
    Thanks for the website!!

    I'll take some shots of it and post it. I have seen several pictures of the tag on other p/u's and vans.
    I am trying to download some pictures of my A100 but having difficulty.

    Does anyone have a spare tire mount that they have cutout of their bed? I am wanting to reinstall one in the back of my bed. Also my A100 came from California. A gentleman named Gary Johnson restored it back in 02. I understand that he has passed away. Did anyone know him?

    This was a cooler that I had from the 50's that was NOT embossed. A good friend of mine who is a painter, painted it up for me. Still has the original tray inside. I also carry around a 1968 Rupp "A" Bome go cart in the back of the truck Proud Owner of a 66 A100 p/u 66_dod26when I do a show.
