AZSCAWPION is correct moldings were optional on both Custom Cab and Standard Cab pickups, but, deluxe tu tone paint jobs got them automatically. '64 Custom Cab F 250 shown when fairly new, has extra cost chrome front bumper ( not included in the Custom Cab option). Side mirrors are aftermarket, not Ford issued. Ice build up, mother nature.

Well this sure is a beauty and I do have one of those mirrors. The guy I purchased my truck from is so flakey he said he broke the other mirror, but he didn't keep the brackets. Those brackets would have helped me try and at least make a different mirror.. I have just a painted bumper and grill, which I am ok with. I may even get it them repainted. I appreciate the explanation, it is helping me understand.
Well I have a new mystery that you all may be able to assist me with. I thought I would find the missing piece, but I not finding anything. I have found all kids of other bolts, nuts, screws and the like, but this is a mystery to me. I have been cleaning out the dirt, rust acts from the door hinge pockets. There was sure lots, even a small rock and I have only done the riders side so far. I think I still have the drivers side to do. Anyway, what the heck is this hole for.
Wolfcoln,
You have a very nice truck! Great find! Keep working on the guy to round up all those old parts! Keep the pictures coming. I am learning with you! Looking forward to your plan and progress also.
Regards,
Chris and Cheryl

Thanks for the compliment. FYI, I have learned tons from this forum. I have an engine to replace the one that is seized in it currently. Once I get the new one in and drive it around, I will rebuild the old one, and put it in.
The hole in the kick panel area is for access to one of the front fender bolts. If you look in the hole, you'll hopefully see the head of a bolt. 1964-1966 Custom Cab (81B) trucks got a cover with one screw (two total, not four like shown). But not some of the Custom Cab 4x4 trucks in my experience. No screw hole no cover originally.

Just goes to show Fords own documentation doesn’t always agree with what might be seen on any given truck. Since yours is a Standard Cab I wouldn’t expect it to have had covers or screw holes but I see the rust spot above is likely the screw hole like you mentioned. Or maybe someone added them to your truck at some point and subsequently removed. Heh. In any case easy to put in place on any truck. And lots of them on parts trucks.

Thank You, Yes there are screw holes and I want to cover the holes up, once I finish getting all the garbage out of the kick plate area. There was a rubber plug under the door hinge area and that has helped me get the garbage out. It is funny about all the mysteries.
the rubber plug was not there on the early models, so dirt and moisture could not be easily cleaned out.
The crud surely was in there and I am glad I was able to get the plug out in one piece. iIf I can get the plug cleaned up and softened , I can reuse it. The years of stuff in the kick area is amazing, so I am glad that I am able to dig it out and clean the rust out while I am at it.
Ok Ford Truck Enthusiasts I found a Ford 240 inline 6 rebuilt by Barnett High Performance, shop near me. It is a 1966 with lots of updated parts, Sivolite pistons, new rings, all new bearings and gaskets, Pertronix pickup with a Flame Thrower coil, and everything else polished and balanced. They just made me an offer I could not pass up so I just had to purchase it. The engine will be dropped in my 1964 along with either a T18 four speed or a later model five speed, I just haven't made up my mind yet. Any ways here are some photos when it was at the shop and now in my tool barn. Hopefully It will be in the 64 before the end of the summer, since I still have to get my F-600 done. It does have the rest of the parts, I just need to clean up the and figure out a transmission to put this with. On the dyne tester Home now
