I have a '63 styleside wrongbed. It was hit on the passenger side right behind the wheel well and the PO slapped about a gallon of Bondo in there and called it good. I found a '60 styleside bed that the floor has been cut out of for a good price. The passenger side on it is strait. I've read that the bed was longer by about 3 inches between '60 and '63 but i'm not sure where it was lengthened at. Does anyone know? At any rate I imagine the area around the wheel well and a foot behind would be the same...

Thoughts?

 

The short "wrong" Styleside bed is the same for all. The difference has to do with the wheelbases.

1957/60 F100: 110" wheelbase // 1961/66 F100: 114" wheelbase.

"Wrong" short Styleside bed: 1957/60 F100; 1961/65 F100 4WD; 1962/63 F100 2WD

Note: 1966 F100 4WD used the same Styleside beds as 1964/66 F100/250 2WD

In the 1957/60 forum, there's a thread w/a link to a short "wrong" bed for sale on craigslist, but there's no tailgate and it's located in Walla Walla WA

 

Is there a difference between styleside and flareside lengths? What about the tailgate? I have a tailgate for my 63 4x4 (flareside), will it fit my 64 4x4 ('wrong' styleside)?


What year/s tailgate will fit my 64?


Thanks

 

Styleside tailgate will not fit a Flareside, as the beds are completely different.

There are TWO different Flareside tailgates:

B7C-8340700-A (replaced BAAA-8340700-A) .. Flareside Tailgate - 49 13/16" long.

1953/79 F100 & 1975/79 F150 with 6 1/2' bed.
----------------------------------------------------
B7D-8340700-A (replaced BDAA-8340700-A) .. Flareside Tailgate - 54 13/16" long.

1953/72 F350 with 9' Express bed; 1956/79 F100/250 with 8' bed (8' bed introduced in 1956).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B7C-9940700-A .. Styleside 'wrong' bed Tailgate.

1957/60 F100/350; 1961/65 F100/250 4WD; 1961/66 F350; 1962/63 F100/250 2WD; 1966 F250 4WD
