You're probably right on the '72 cut-off, BUT... I'll check Hollander when I get home tonight.

Looks like you need 66-72 F250 4x4 for a direct swap.
Here's a link to a scanned segment from Hollander:

I'll add the other swap options to the link in a few minutes.

And I'll rescan to get the whole picture since I hadn't planned on the web title cutting off the top of the scan.

I'd highly recommend buying one of their interchange manuals. Unfortunately, they're about $100 a copy.

If I'm reading the book right it looks like you may luck out and be able to use up to late 1970s by swapping bolts and bushings, as long as it's from a 4x4.

Have a look and see what you think:
