Hello again

I posted a pic of my truck awhile back while I was rcouping in a convalescent home after a bad motorcycle wreck. With the help of some kind folks on this forum the best I can describe it is as a 65 F150 body on a 1978 F250 4x4 frame. I had it put on the back of a transport and hauled from Idaho to CA. It's suprisingly clean for its age. Now that I'm feeling better I can tinker with it some. I want to post som pics but can't remember how to do it.

Upload them to an online hosting, copy the photos url and past it in the box after clicking on the yellow looking postcard that you see when posting.

Two pics are present. Click on '1965 Ford F-250' below FTE user name.

1965/66 F100/250 2WD & 1966 F100 4WD 8' Stylesides have a 129" wheelbase / 1973/79 F250 8' Stylesides have a 133" wheelbase.

Looking at pic, I don't see that much of a gap between the bed and cab to indicate a 133" wheelbase.

1961/65 F100/250 4WD, 1966 F250 4WD came with 1957/60 Styleside beds. 1966 F100 4WD used the same Styleside beds as 1964/66 F100/250 2WD

If this truck has 5 lug wheels, it could be a 1966 F100 4WD / Post the VIN listed on the registration (Pink Slip). When decoded, the year/series will be known, whether it was 2WD or 4WD originally.

F25 = F250 2WD (If 4WD = F26).

D = 352 2V

R = San Jose CA assembly Plant.

581054 = 1965, assembled August 1964.
