64 f250 4x4 help numberdummy,camperspecial65,anyone

Brand new to this site, but glad to be here. I have a 64 f250 4x4 I bought when I was 15 for 100 bucks from a local farmer. It survived through two different owners and 5 teenage boys. I am going to try to restore to close to original. Here is the info. F26CR491506 WB 120 Color JM Model F260 Body N81 Trans. F Axle 24 Max GVW 6800 Cert. Net HP 135 RPM 3800 DSO 733613. Hope you can give me as much information from above as possible. Also, I have 1964 f250 2x4 and was hoping to use the body and bed on the 4x4 frame/chasis. Will the bed work or does it have to be the correct 57-60 style bed? Thanks to all willing to help me out.

You need to reuse the 57 to 60 bed or do frame modifications to fit the later bed as the wheel base must be adjusted.

The bed has to be the 57-60 single wall style bed...IMO...on the 4WD and it being higher up then the 2WD counterparts...its a more aggressive looking stance...
