What a Beautiful Truck. Fantastic restoration. Matter of personal preference I would have left the original valve covers and air cleaner on it. Someone got a Very Nice ride.
One of the nicest things about these trucks was the awesome colors they were available in. It’s a travesty to paint them in any modern conformist, silver, grey, white etc. Very sad actually that that imagination is gone from our society.
Ford used the older style bed in the 4x4's because the new bed had issues with cracks and bending out of shape when used off road. Part of Ford history. Feel free to look it up
Step down floor was not used in all 63 to 66 trucks. A 2wd 65-66 cab is significantly different. No steps inside the door, different pedal assembly and the inner fenders are completely different too.
Beautiful truck. Very well done. Nice Ford Blue engine, but an aluminum intake manifold and a 4 barrel carb would be better. If for no other reason than to take 50 lbs. off the overall weight. That F.E. needs all of that 2 barrel Motorcraft carb. Would love to have it.
That’s the bed they used on the 4x4s look it up. My dad bought one new , still have it. The 2 wd trucks had the newer beds. Did it for tire clearance the dealer said.
