I am not much on the slicks, but it does look like my 66 from the details I could see.

In my opinion hell no, but I'm not really sure the differences in cabs above the 250 rating. It looks like the front is 66 but the cab looks like a 64 since it has the step and the steering column and he says the battery is in the passenger floor. I thought that only 4x4 65-66 had the older style cabs.

Your right I did not catch the column.

That has to be a 64 and earlier cab atleast.

Grille is a 66 for sure, but I agree dash and cab resembles a 64.

It looks like it has the taller roofline in the pics. That would make it a 64-66 one ton.

The heater box would be a determining factor and I cant get a real good look at it in the pix. It does look to be a 65-66 heater box but I cant see it very well.

Note the larger front fender wheel opening - larger series trucks. I also think the 65 and 66 of some of the 250 and 350 used the early cabs with the 'step in' area. I could be completely wrong But I'll bet ND will know.

Yep. It's the same 66 F350 I have in my yard. Wish that one was here also.
Would put my engine in and have a blast.

Looks like a solid truck, yes a '66. I like the term "commercial style cab", referring to the high step cab which was actually used up to 1969 (with an even higher roofline) on some of the heavier series trucks. The worst thing about it appears to be the cheapo repaint.
