As ive discovered recently,i just bought my 3rd 67-72,and of the 3,only one was mostly original,the other 2 had been changed dramatically.lets see,different engines,transmissions,later model axles,power steering on 4wd drive models,different transfer case,2wd Camper Special body on 4wd chassis,etc. no worries,they were mostly cheap,in fact 2 of them i nearly stole(a 1969 F350 390,a/t,front disk brakes,10 ft. utlility bed,12 ft Alaskan camper,56k miles,perfect interior,etc,owner wanted $1300,i regret selling it,didnt have parking) and i think i kinda stole this one too,its a 72 Camper special 2wd body,on what i believe to be a 73 or later 250 4wd chassis, fresh motor,FE(not sure yet which one,im thinking it might be a 390 or 428,judging by casting #'s) new dual exhaust) np 435,np205,power steering,straight body,very little rust on body,etc,got this for $1650.....BTW,the reason i believe its got a later chassis is that its got power steering and a 205 tcase. it seems as if lots of these trucks have been pieced together by previous owners,poss largely on there large production numbers and maybe also on the fact they dont seem to command the outrageous prices that 67-72 chev/gmc's do.

All 352/360/390 bare blocks are 352's when first cast, so any casting number on a 352/360/390 block means nothing inre to the size of the engine.
The same thing holds true for 352/360/390 cylinder heads.
The same heads used on 1965/67 F100/350's with 352 engines were used on 1965/67 Galaxie/LTD 352/390's.
The same heads used on 1968/72 F100/350's with 360/390 engines were used on 1968/71 Galaxie/LTD's with 390's and 1966/70 428's (except 1966 428 Police Cruisers).

i will check the stroke shortly,regardless of CID,im happy with the power! a ggod friend had a 74 F250 4x4 years ago with a 360,and as i remember it had a lot less oomph than this truck,even when he dropped in a 2bbl 390 it still had less power

Since the 67 is first year for the new style, several items were held over from 66, like the inside mirror, door locks/handels, brake pedal, etc. I like the 67 best because of these differences. I like the 67 grille the best, it just looks older. 67's seem harder to find also. I hunted a long time to find a decent one to start my project. One thing about the window regulator, I found an aftermarket kit to convert to power windows and it was for the 67 only. They didn't make one for 68 to 72. One big negative, the 67 power steering box, a real POS. Also no disk brake option that year.
