63 or not? I need some help!

Hi there, just visting from the mid fifties site, but thought I'd run this by you guys.

There is a 63 F100 on e-bay that I'm not sure it is what the seller claims it to be. Please take a peep at this item number 4586417177.

As you can see, another potential buyer is not certain the bed is that of a 63 as well?? I will be in Boise (the trucks location) this week and plan to stop by for a closer inspection - I'd love to be able to speak from a "well informed" point of view - the seller is a car dealer.

As I was born in 63, I've always been interested in owning one and this one looks like a good one to start with. Please let me know your thoughts!! Thanks!

Besse, Everything looks correct for the truck. Ford came out with the unibody in 61 and had no new bed/cab to match so they used the older bed. I think it was 64 when the first maching bodyside bed bed was introduced and after the Uni was declaired a dissaster and dropped.

Nice looking ol truck and I'd say at the time of this posting the price is excellent.
