My 66 f250 flatbed 2WD has two different fenders on it. That way when I purchased it. I'm wondering which style fender is supposed to be on it so I can get a matching one? Posted a couple pics to help. Any help is appreciated!

 

I think the larger fenders were optional with larger wheels. Do you know if it was a factory flatbed? You say it's a 66 but it's got a 65 grill. Post the vin tag info and I'm sure someone can help you out. I'd guess it had the large openings factory and someone replaced one with the easier to find smaller one.

 

From my understanding the truck was manufactured in Dec of 65 so I was thinking that's why it possibly had a 65 grill, or obviously somebody could have changed it. It does have the factory FORD bed on it. I was aware of the different sizes in the fenders for wheel size but was curious if the body line on the passenger side fender was specific to year model etc. Here's a pic of the I.D tag if anybody can decode it just so I'll know a little more about the truck that would be great.

 

F25 = F250 2WD
Y = 352 V8
E = Mahwah NJ assembly plant
791088 = built Dec 1965
W = Medium Blue
281 =Standard cab, Medium blue crush vinyl with medium blue wicker pattern
C = 3 speed manual toploader trans
24 = Dana 60 axle, Edit: 4:10 gear ratio
7500 = GVWR (which means it has the HD brakes)
172 @4000 = Certified net horsepower @ 4K RPM
DSO = Washington DC

 

Awesome, thanks for the info! Does anybody know if it being manufactured in Dec of 65 if that's why it has the 65 model grill or has somebody replaced it?

 

December of 1965 was well into the 1966 model year. They started making the 1966 models in August of 1965. Your grill has been replaced.

And you already noticed the mismatched fenders.

The hood should have the V8 emblem on it, too. Having the gear and lightning bolt emblem is an indication that the hood has been swapped out, too. Not totally uncommon for 50 year old vehicles to have had an accident or two.
