Good Deal?
Not sure what these trucks are going for....
65 Ford F250 Camper Special
Four Speed Transmission
352 V8
Engine Runs Good
2wd
136,583
Farm Used
Interior is in good shape
Michigan truck so there is some rust (fenders etc.)
Guy is asking $1000, could probably get it for a little less....Sound like a good deal?
Thanks

A little less would be best'' but if it's running good'' that's about the doing rate!
I would check the cab mounts for rust!, if there rusted out it should stay a farm truck
unless you want to replace them?..looks like a big dent in the bedside, but the good news is, those bed side tool boxes are selling on Ebay for $400.00 hard to find!
Check it over real good for rust, floorpans, driprails, bedfloor,radiator/core support, all are
hard fixes...end the end thow, if your just looking for a beater to haul trash, it looks good.

IMO, it would hard to find a running 65-66 Ford pickup for $1000. Ditto huckdeuceman's comments. Hard to tell, would also be interested in the interior; having said that, worse case, part out and make a few hundred bucks.

Camper Special / Four Speed Transmission / 352 V8 / Engine Runs Good / 2WD / 136,583 miles.This truck is an F100 because it has 15" 5 lug wheels on a 5.50" bolt circle. How do I know this...am I psychic, have x-ray vision? Nope.
This truck has the 15" wheel covers introduced in 1966, were standard equipment on 1966/77 Bronco's, optional on 1966/77 F100's & 1975/77 F150 2WD/4WD's and 1966 Galaxie/LTD's.
With 4WD, instead of an emblem, the front wheel covers have a red plastic ring that allows the 4WD hub to poke thru.
Camper Specials were introduced in 1965 in F100/F250 2WD's.
If this is a Camper Special, the plastic inserts within the front fender emblems should be marked: Camper Special.
Everything that was available w/the Camper Special package could be ordered on all 1965/66 F100/250 2WD's with one exception.
At final assembly, a pigtailed wire harness/plug was placed in the glove box. This was used with camper clearance lights.
It plugs into the Camper Special ONLY taillamp harness that has an extra feed wire for this purpose.

I do know that the wheel covers are not correct/stock I will try to go look the truck over on Saturday...maybe I can get some better pictures and check some of the things you've mentioned.
How many F250's came with 15" wheels? None. 1953/98 F250's have at least 16" 8 lug wheels on a 6.50" bolt circle.
