He said it is the original flareside box, but if it's original you would of thought they would've used the 8' box. Either way it looks good, and itdefinitely looks original. This truck actually has factory power drum brakes! I have only seen that one other time.
F = TRANS code for Warner T-98 4 speed. It's listed on the Rating Plate between the DATE code and AXLE code.
Sequence as listed on the Rating Plate: W.B. / COLOR / MODEL / DATE / TRANS / AXLE / GVW / CERT. NET HP / RPM / DSO
Since the truck was a Domestic Special Order, and you didn't list the COLOR code, the space may be blank.
Vehicles painted non standard colors per the original purchasers requests have no COLOR code and so are Domestic Special Orders.
1957/66 F350 pickups were only available with Flareside or Styleside
9' Express Beds. Also available as Cab & Chassis, with a factory installed Flat or Stake Bed.
There was no F350 DRW pickup available until 1980, then Styleside only. The fiberglass rear fenders bolt to the quarter panels (bedsides).
