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.

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.

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.
