Gotta love a stake bed. Seems like there are a lot of 64s popping up lately.

Wyatt, Looks like a very mis-matched truck, FE not used til 65 and I'm not sure then on 250 4wd. Likely 6-8 mpg gonna be expensive to run.

Agreed. And either it's wearing a pair of 2WD front fenders (smaller opening), or they've added material (now painted white) to 4WD/F-350 front fenders to make them look more like 2WD fenders. Huh?

FORD block letters embossed on stake and flat beds beginning in 1957, previous years have the Ford script.

Seller says this is a factory steak bed and only 143 were installed. It's rarer than that, only 68 1964 F250 4WD's came with a Platform & Rack, FoMoCo terminology for a stake bed.

But this bed has been modified, doesn't match the original. The wooden stakes are missing, the wood bed floor has been replaced with diamond plate, the steel rack at the front has been added.

Platform (flat) bed is similar, but didn't come with stakes. Only 29 1964 F250 4WD's came with this bed.
