Korin, Welcome to
and the Slicks Forum.
The truck in the photo is NOT a 66, it appears to be about a 1960.
The 72 is not a bolt on although with enough talent should be made to ride on the chassis.

Actually, that's not the original body either. Thanks for the advice

Oh OK, I see you have edited the original, we can only go by what you post.
I hope you can make your project work.

I think you should rip that body off, drop it in a field, and ship the chassis to me!
Seriously if you decide to sell it I would probably be interested, depending on where you are located.

1957/60 Styleside beds were also installed on some 1961/66's. Called the "wrong" beds by enthusiasts, as the bed lines don't match the cab lines.
1961/65 F100/250 4WD / 1961/66 F350 (9' express only) / 1962/63 F100/250 2WD / 1966 F250 4WD
