65 F350
Hey folks,
In my onging efforts to frustrate mysely I've picked up a 65 F350. Pretty much just a chassis and cab. Going to redo the entire brake system and rebuild the original 352.
Looking to find a correct longbed for this truck as it currently has a 67' Ranger bed on "Anybody need a truck bed?" Also looking for information on any similiarties to the other F series trucks from 60' 66'. I know these big beasts are unique in some respects, yet carry some similar parts to the F-100 series. Specifically the cab and wiring. My cab has the step built into the cab when you open the door like the early 60's F-100's. Also need to know about wiring harness compatability.

Hey 1 Ton, Sorry I am not much help here but it does sounds as if your cab is much like my 62 F-250 with the lowered step area in the door jamb. Of course you were wanting to compare to a F-100. I do have a question about your 352. Do you have the front motor mount? I am just curious as I have not seen one for an FE yet.
Thanks,
Rich

I believe the 350 came with the 1957 to 1960 style bed, but was a nine foot styleside bed. The 350 also had the step up, high transmission hump and steering column through the floor that all 1961 to 1964 F100 to F350s had. The 350 also had a 17 inch steering wheel. Many other parts were interchangeable.

65 wiring should be 65 wiring. Most of the 65 F100 cab parts will fit but in ordering carpet or something like that, you'll need to order for 61-64.
The cab LOOKS like a 61-64 but under the dash is different. the heater box and fresh airvents are the same as 65-66 for example.

The 66 F-250 4x4 has a lot of similarities to the F-350. They both use the same front fenders, the underfloor passenger side battery box and the motor mount is on the front of the engine and two other mounts are on the bellhousing.
