1966 F750.
Can anybody offer up the info I need on my 66 F750???? I just purchased this truck on Ebay,item# 7933384297 First will smaller F-series (F100-F250)body panels of the same vintage fit my 66 F750? Next up is if anybody has ever seen a 1966 F750 Crew cab.Mine is currently a regular cab but if I can find the parts I plan on converting it to a crew cab.Did they make it in a Crew cab?Finally this truck has a 2 speed rear and according to the listing it has an air shift transmission?? I've been raised on Ford F series 250 mainly highboys and super cab camper specials and swapping engines and trannys on Fords since I was 8 years old(with adults of course!!) but never anything bigger than an F350 so I have never heard of an air shift before and when I tow this truck home(400miles) I need to know what gear the rear 2 speed should be in and what if anything do I need to do to protect the trans and running gear from damage.Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

You stole that truck. If it had been closer to NC, I was going to bid on it, but I did not feel like traveling that far to pick it up. Congratulations on a great purchase.
I don't know much about these either, but here is my best guess:
I think that the body panels will fit, except for the fenders. I also guess the seller is wrong about the transmission. I think he was still thinking about the air brakes, but I don't know, just my guess.
My advice is easy, just remove the drive shaft and don't worry about it.

I have seen pics of crew cab F-450 and ups, but they were all made after the fact by outside companies as far as I know. That would be one sweet crew! Good luck, hope you have something big to tow that chunck of iron home with!!!

I have a 64 F-750 dump truck with 391, 5 speed manual trans, and 2 speed rear axle, see my gallery. I have never heard of an air shift transmission, but I have done allot of work on my truck, and will help with info if I can.
I agree with dropping the driveshaft.
As far as the rear axle, mine shifts via an electric motor with a switch on the shifter - up to shift into high. The shift motor is on the front left of the axle, on top of a small gear box. If you take the cover off the box, you will see a drive screw and a shift fork, the axle is in high when the fork is down. I have manually shifted mine by turning the screw manually before getting a new shift motor, which by the way, was only $27.00. When you have all this working right, you can shift it on the roll.
Good deal, hope the seller doesn't try to back out.
