Sometimes I have a hard time determining if it's a short bed with the angle shots, but it appears to be a custom cab short bed with at least a red interior. What a nice foundation to start with!
Its a short bed. Havent had a chance to de-code the VIN yet to see what all options it truly had from the beginning but will do that soon.

Y = 352 2V for '66
K= Kansas City MO, assembly plant

J = Rangoon red exterior color
E81 = Trim Code for Custom Cab with red crush vinyl and cody weave pattern
C = trans code, Ford 3 speed 3.03 fully synchronized

63 = Memphis District Sales Office where it was ordered.
Well kicking around ideas now that I've got the truck at my shop and started cleaning it a bit. Ordered booster and master cylinder to start with so I don't run into something forgetting it doesn't have any brakes. Originally was going to go through the suspension, interior, motor to start with. But now that I look at the interior that really needs painting, Im thinking I might shift to repainting the full truck inside and out. While Im no body man I have done some body work and painting, so don't expect show truck quality level but still very nice level. So here we go. To start going to sand down the old bondo spots that are flaking to see what Im working with. Then weld up the cab corner that was half way fixed along with all the extra mirror holes in the doors. Going to take a lot of time but will be worth it in the end. Plus only have to pull the windows once to paint and change out all the cracked seals.
