I thought Ford only made the 350 between 1962 and 1969?

*** Keep in mind that my overall knowledge level is extremely limited.

It's probably got a 360 FE engine. Pretty common in Ford trucks until 1976. My old 1976 F-350 dump truck had a 360 in it.

You should ask in the 68-72 section. NOT in the 87-96 section
