F150 Crews would be conversions, as Ford never offered them. There were a few F100 Crews, but these were 1965/66's.

Ford introduced their own Crews mid-year 1965 and thru 1972, all were Domestic Special Orders, as they were conversions of regular cabs.

Most were assembled in Oakville Ontario Canada as were all the 1973/79 F250/350 regular production Crews.

So how many obs crews came with the 300? I've never seen one....plenty of single cab 300's out there, but even they aren't exactly abundant.

Bill, there was a '65 or so F100 crewcab flareside at Nellis AFB when I was there in the late '70's. Can't remember if it was a shortbed or a longbed, though. It was one of the "Follow Me" trucks used to direct transient aircraft to their parking place on the ramp. Pretty sure that one was an I-6 4spd setup.

Contact martiauto.com ... he'll probably have the production figures, but be prepared to pay a fee.

in the early 80's there were 2wd crew cabs with the 300 but soon after that the diesel motor came and took over that market. The only one i recall was one a friend built after he bought a 90 or 91 and swapped in a 300. That was a great truck but he had put on a dual carb setup and header and cam etc.

The F150 crews I've seen are the 92-96 body. I've probably seen 6 or 7 of them over the years. One sets about 200 yards from my house. I know Ford didn't do them, that's why I said that and that I thought they were done by centurion. But still maybe a viable option for the OP

Please don't ruin a perfectly good OBS crew cab by putting a i6 in it. To everyone who says oh well the i6 will be fine they were in dump trucks and whatnot. Yeah they were put they also had like ten speed transmissions and two speed rear ends and the like.

Some USAF flightline six packs had six bangers -- some from Ford, an oddity or two from Dodge or Chevy.

Just because it's not fast enough for you doens't mean it's not fast enough for other people.

I have not ran across any 90s F250 or F350 trucks with a 300 so I build my own a few years back by pulling a 351 and bolting a carbed (and warmed up) 300 to the ZF. 4.10 gears and it was a great truck to drive, ran down the road great with 4.10s. The 300/ZF is a great combo. But (heavy sigh) I could have had twice as much torque with a stock 460 for the amount of gas it used. It wasn't a crew but would have been just fine with the added weight.
how hard was that swap?

Flightline six-pack = Crewcab. They hold 6 people. Damned near a standard configuration on an Air Force ramp.

It seemed to either be crewcab or 1/2 ton shortbed standard cab. The straight 6 was a common sight, too.
