dont wanna ruin your fun but its a true 4x4... decoded it many of times, custom cab and the 4x4s had the 4 post steering wheels instead of the 3 so it would be different... note the radio.

 

ive got the salesmen dealer info...4WD Custom Cabs had the 4 spoke horn ring as I mentioned...also...is that right door factory original ???


Whats the DSO of it ???

Nice truck, just a question though.. The box on the truck appears to be from a 62 or a 63, It has the chains holding up the tail gate style, rather than latch type.

 

Back265...this style bed was used on the 4WD trucks ONLY in 1965. In 1966 it was ONLY used on the F250 4WD trucks(VIN code F26) btw...1/2 ton 4WD VIN is F11

 

both doors have the custom cab logo on them i forget but one side is sorta broke off and whats the DSO?

I thought the boxes were all the same .. my bad

 

Its alright...its all about educating people IMO...just to clarify also, on the 64-66 F100-250 2 and 4WD trucks there were 2 different styleside beds used...the double wall style bed with rectangular tail lights was used ONLY on trucks with 129" w.b....this applies to 4WD trucks only mind you... That would be the 66 F100 4WD ONLY as it used the 2WD cab etc...all other 4WD trucks ride on a 120'w.b.
The single wall bed is the same 61-3 on F100-250 ALL except integral bodied trucks. On the 65-6 trucks it was ONLY used on trucks with 4WD except the aforementioned 66 F100 4WD which uses the double wall bed.

i have a 66 factory 4x4 with a 352 also. but mine is a long bed step side. im planning shortening the wheel base about 2ft and getting a stepside off a short bed and cutting it to fit. i have a question about that thing below the exaust manifold i cant remember what its called but its right there an the drivers side. can i take that thing off or will it mess something up. also do u know any good sites to go to find a good 2speed t-case i can swap the dana 20 with. thanks

 

I like it. I mean I really like it. Makes me think of wanting to convert my 66 again.

 

to be honest I don't know what your talking about but in 1966. They went to the more familair coil over front Axel instead of the leafs like mine

 

You need to change out the entire manifold to delete the heat riser. It was dropped in 67 so a 67 to 76 manifold will do the deed.

Radios are a dealer option to spruce up the truck and has zero relevance on it being a CC. your chrome plated dash bezel is a custom cab piece and you would have had the four bar horn.

DSO (District Service Order) is the last set of digits on the warranty plate by the first two digits it tells us where the truck was ordered from. if it has four more it was a special order for a total of six.

===============================================
1965f100factory4X4:

The number of steering wheel spokes has nothing to do with it being a Custom Cab...or not.

Same THREE spoke steering wheels: 1961/65 F100/250 2WD / 1966/70 F100 4WD / 1967/70 F100/250 2WD / 1966/73 Bronco / 1960/63 Falcon/Comet.

Same FOUR spoke steering wheels: 1961/65 F100/250 4WD / 1961/70 F350 / 1966/70 F250 4WD.

1966: F100 4WD's have front coil springs, F250 4WD's have front leaf springs.

Whether a truck has a radio...or not has nothing to do with it being a Custom Cab.

Radio's were optional on all trucks thru 1979, whether it's a Standard or Custom Cab, Ranger, and this includes 1973/79 Ranger XLT's & 1977/79 Lariat's as well.

The side mouldings were an option on all 1965/66 F100/250 Standard and Custom Cabs. Standard equipment on Rangers only.

How did you decode your truck to prove it's a Custom Cab? The VIN does not have this info, only the BODY code does.

The only way to decode the BODY code is with the truck parts catalog.

"Squire" Don (camperspecial65) and I discussed this on the phone early this AM. He says it isn't, I'm not passing judgement until the data on the Warranty Plate is decoded.

btw: Since you're a newbie, you are unaware that:

I bought a 1965 F100 2WD Standard Cab (352/radio/deluxe heater/overdrive/western jr mirrors) BRAND NEW in March 1965, and sold it in November 2009.

So...I know these trucks better than just about anyone. Plus, I was a Ford partsman for 35 years (1962/97), and have been in the old rolling pile of miseries hobby for 54 years.

 

FYI

67 up manifolds are able to delete the heat riser and use a standard donut and flange to seal. 65 66 cannot do this as the mounting surface for the heat riser is flat machined.

So any light duty truck specific 67 up FE manifold will do no matter what the parts books say.

It is in the machining of the outlet where the differences lie. and they all dump in the same basic location for light duty trucks.

The exhaust heat risers were crap from day one. And are the first thigs thrown away.
