'63 4x4?

Not sure if it's actually a '63, but I like it. One wheel up on the imports' hood is a nice touch.

Well it's like this... I love it if not solely because it is a Flareside box! The Ford lettering is 62-64 as are the turn signals but that is a 65 grill. The cab does appear to be 61-63. The seller specs a clean title but the Ford issued V.I.N is on the frame which the seller states is a 1979, so most jurisdictions will consider it a ubuild truck. Be careful and check with your local authorities first!

Hood front emblem is 1961/64 I-6 & V8; 1965/66 I-6.

Hood side emblems are 1963/64.

Upper grille panel with FORD letters is 1962/64.

Grille is 1965.

Parking lamps appear to be the original 1961/64, installed in the 1965 grille.

There were no F150's until 1975.

I'd be leery of the frame swap, because the VIN's won't match.
