What year is the truck in the picture? I think I have seen them like that before, but thought it was a bed swap. How many years did they do this?

I know Ford re-used the same stepside bed for many years, all the way from the mid fifties to about 1981, I believe.

You can always tell when Bo and Luke have borrowed your truck.

The door looks great on it! I'd rather get parts off of this truck than anything "new from Taiwan". Was it for sale?

It's a '63. Here's a quick google answer:

It looks wrong, but...the 1957/60 Styleside bed was used on the following:

1961/66 F350's / 1961/65 F100/250 4WD's / 1966 F250 4WD's, and..

1963 F100/250 2WD's.

The Uni was canceled midyear 1963. In order to continue to have a 2WD Styleside, Ford used the 1957/60 bed on these trucks.


Here's a really good article on it:

http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2010/02...y-pickups.html

Ford, which had pinned its volume-selling models to the integrated design, was understandably panicked at potential issues surrounding the unibody. Midway through the 1962 model year, the company rushed a separate cab and bed into production as an alternative to the unibody. So last-minute was the conversion that Ford hadn't tooled up to produce a new bed, instead sending 1962 and 1963 models down the line with the box from the 1960 F-Series, which did not line up with the newer truck's swoopy lines. The unibody style would remain in production through the end of the 1963 model year, at which point the non-integrated styleside pickups were outselling it two-to-one. By 1964, all Ford F-series trucks returned to the conventional arrangement.

I had one of those Unibody fords when I was in high school, my first vehicle. It was a '63. Musta been one of the last ones.

I knew there was a reason we all love classic Chevys instead of classic Fords...

[Tinkermc]

if nothing else it will make you think of the possibilities

I got a good chuckle out of that pic, there is one like that couple towns over i see once a year, i think it's brown 67-72 front with 66 older bed sitting in the weeds with some other classics that are NOT for sale.
