1960 Crew Cab Needs some help
I came across a 60 Crew Cab this last week and took a little drive to see it in person and decided to take it with me. However it is a bit worse for wear. It was wrecked on the rear door of the drivers side and the then Owner skinned across the damage and disposed of the door. There is a lot of bondo covering that was cracked and i tore some off to see what was underneath. I will see if i can post more pics of the truck for you to look at.
Can anyone direct me to some one that might have a drivers side rear door and possibly the passenger one as well? I have an extra cab that i can cut up and salvage the rear corner with. The VIN plates says it is an F100 but the axles were swapped out for 3/4 ton and the emblems on the hood as well. Well let me know if you see or know of a set of rear doors. Thanks, Mathais

I have a donor cab sitting in a place where it has to be moved, I was going to use it for a crew build, but I can find better ones around. It has a very nice step area and uncut dash unlike yours. I may be cutting it up soon for donor metal for whomever needs it, as I cant transport it and store it anywhere at the moment.

Early 1965 Crew Cab's were conversions done by Crown Coach. Prior to 1965, besides Crown Coach, body makers Armbruster, Superior, Hess & Eisenhart and etc. did the conversions.

I didn't expect to find new doors laying around, but was hoping that someone knew of another crew cab that may have suffered some similar fate but the rear doors were in tact and i could possibly talk them out of them. If not i will begin the process of building my own. Thanks,

There are no Ford factory rear doors available, because Ford did not offer a factory Crew Cab until midyear 1965.

I have uploaded a photo for your reference if needed.
The one thing that is throwing me is the color code. I believe i have figured out the rest but everything i find does not show an S code for color. Let me know what it is if possible.
Thanks, Mathais

What you'll probably wind up doing is what the Companies that did the conversions did, Modify the Doors yourself, if they actually did any modifications to the doors at all.
But to make sure, take Exact measurements of both of the Passenger-side doors of your truck, then take exacting Door measurements of a Standard Cab '59-'60 F-100 truck & see if Anything was actually done to them.

Your DATA Plate the way you've listed it & the picture you posted, matches a '60 DATA Plate & not one from a '59, as FoMoCo changed the D.P. lay out from '59 to '60.
So it's a '59 1/2, which would also explain some of the peculiarities of this truck.
F10=F-100
C=292cid 8cyl Y-Block
9=1959 (built in the last 1/2 of '59, but a '60 year model truck)
K=Kansas City, KS
54585=Consecutive Serial Number
W.B. 110=110" Wheel Base
Colour S=Special Order (usually)
F10C=(no such listing it's supposed to read either, F-100/101/102/103/104/105)
Date 25H=August
Trans C=Ford-O-Matic
Axle 01=3.70 Rear Gearing
MAX. G.V.W. LBS. 05000=5,000Lbs
CERT.NET.H.P. 158=158hp
R.P.M. 4090=4090rpm (so 158hp @ 4090rpm)
D.S.O. 6156=its particular Special Order code
I don't see Anything hatefull in my previous statement.
Just read my Signature.
