Ford Crew Cabs.....
Anyone have any info on the history/development of the Crew's.... first years, production numbers, etc.
I was "told" that 69 was the first year that Ford made the crew and that earlier models were built for Ford by (who?) ..... but this could all be just more BS!
So anyone have the scoop?????

Ford as a factory started production of crew cabs in 1965.
Prior to that custom coach builders were used to fufill the orders.
The 66 crew in my gallery was a Crown conversion, and i curently have a 69 factory 4x4 crew.
The aftermarket suppliers also made extended cabs, there are a few of those that surface time to time.
As for production? There lumped in with all the other production as 4x4s or 2 wheel drives.

Ford crew cabs are built at the ontario assembly plant and shipped from there to the DSO that ordered it. However most crowns will also be produced in the ontairo pland as a single cabs prior to 1965 and even after 65, then converted by crown.
A ford unit from 65 up is easily spotted by the 1 1/4" seperation between doors for internal hinges, crown doors have external hinges and the doors almost touch.
