Thanks for the reply.

Body: F81 ? Truck has the early long bed with the round taillamps as the 59's had. I'll assume this is original.
Trans: F 4 speed NP435 or something else?

Again, my apologies for my noobness.

Yes your 63 is 100 concourse correct with the 57 to 60 bed.

New beds were tooled up for 64 after the integral cab sales failure....Is it not ironic that one of fords greatest truck failures are the most coveted by aficionados...
