Yeah , some people wish this is the way Ford built them, but this one claims to be legit. Believe what you want, but I'm skeptical as usual, IMO, looks like another clever modification of a 2WD.Ford F 100 1 of 330 Shortbed V8 4x4 Napco Spicer RARE | eBay

Vin shows it as an 2wd.

VIN: F10CR542852

Series Code F10 F-100 (2 Wheel Drive)
Engine Code C 292 CID 2v (135 HP @ 3800 RPM)
Assembly Plant R San Jose, CA
Consecutive Unit Number 542852 May 1964

Looks nicely done!

Shouldn't it have the wrong bed on it?

No, it's not factory, it's a NAPCO 4WD conversion.

The hubcaps, 4WD front, 2WD rear...were introduced in 1977.

F100/250 factory 4WD introduced in 1959, but NAPCO, Marmon-Herrington and etc. continued to do aftermarket 4WD conversions.
