It seems awkward, but whenever you "insert a picture" to one of these threads, the forum is looking for the picture somewhere on the web (which is always available) rather than from somewhere on your hard drive (which isn't always available).

Go to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and sign up for a free account. Then create an album for your truck. Upload any pics you want to post on FTE to that album. Have this album open on your computer when you want to post pics on FTE.

While you're making a post on FTE, select the pic you want to post from your Photobucket album. When the large version of the pic is open, right mouse click on it and select "View Image Info". The image info will be highlighted and will look something like this:
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...ghtsafter1.jpg

Copy that highlighted info (right click / copy).

When you have the spot in your post where you want the pic to be placed, select the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the post (looks like a mountain) and paste (right click / paste) the image info you copied in the highlighted box (just shows "http://" when it opens).

Your pic will be placed in the post.

Hope that helps.

Here's a tutorial Bob put together: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/67...-pictures.html

 

the truck IMO would be rare/signifigantly less common if it is a shortbed truck. The color combo coupled with a shortbed may make it less common as well.
Given the total number of pickup trucks made in 1963 also factor in as well...compared to the huge number of trucks made nowadays make most any pickup made in the 60s rare...but given the attrition rate over the years etc...its a less then common truck...
A great example would be paint for example...certain color combos on tutone trucks werent allowed per the brochures...I, however have a tutone white truck that wasnt special ordered...and tutone white was one combo specifically mentioned as not being available in 1965...alone with chrome yellow as well...gotta love fine print:-)
So it depends on how one looks at rarity as we all look at that differently.

Thanks. I wasn't all that clear. It is a swb, custom cab. That is the combo that I was not finding any of.

 

Numberdummy, an idea how many of that particular truck made?

 

You need to hook up with deflaytedwayz, his truck was right in front of yours on the assembly line.

 

I found the post from him and NDs decode here.

Both Glacier Blue, too...

 

I don't know how Ford ran the assembly lines back in the '60s, but the trucks are not built in numerical order by VIN numbers. They run them in a special mix so the assembly line does not get over-whelmed by a special option. At Twin Cities Assembly (Ranger), they couldn't just run all 4door SuperCabs in a row. They mixed in the base (fleet model) Rangers to balance it out....
