well postmaster i am the second owner and i have had it for 26 years,it has always been in calif it really is in excellent shape

 

Thanks for posting photo! Judging by how clean and straight this F 350 is, it must have been used as a recreational vehicle for the majority of its life. IMO, these factory crew cabs always look better with a full length bed, many earlier aftermarket jobs don't lengthen the frame and vehicle ends up with a very awkward looking super short cut down bed. By the way, this is the correct style "styleside" for '66 F- 350's.

 

Yeah, thanks for showing that to us. I've never seen even a grainy old Ford pic of such a rare beast. I can't say I like the "wrong bed" much but the truck's uniqueness makes up for it.

triple frame, you are absolutely right. the first owner and I both used it for an RV.GOOD EYE.

 

Here is the grainy old Ford sales literature pic.

 

Now that is a sexy beast and a half

 

Cool photo Trip!

I can think of several body parts I'd sell to have that red rig with the camper....just like it is.

I'd add a GearVendors overdrive and head out.

 

Sweet! Reminds me of the Safari camper dad had built for our '64 CrewCab. I know I have better pictures...somewhere. One of these days I'll find them.

hello tripleframe. thanks for giving my truck a look over. I looked at the frame and saw no sighns of lengthening but the wheelbase is 152 and the vin tag says 132. Is this odd?

 

Yes it does seem odd the wheelbase is still at the factory standard 132". however, if you don't see any evidence of lengthening,and you have the 6 or more digit DSO number, you can rest assured your F 350 is a Ford factory built unit. Remember, Ford crew cabs were in the very early stage of DSO (Domestic Special Order) production when your truck was built, so the conversion to a newer longer frame was simply overlooked in the process. Originally the DSO number matched the invoice number on the special order option sheet that was placed in your glove box when your truck was new( would be epic if you still have this sheet in your glove box). Your trucks warranty plate probably also shows the factory standard 10,000 Lbs GVW, however this is not accurate either for a single wheel F 350, it should be 8000lbs. The F 350 C.C. was quite an interesting offering versus the F 250 C.C. The F 350 gave you a standard length 8' bed and optional 352 V8 vs. the F 250's 6' 1/2" bed with 6 cylinder engines only. And if you ordered the optional 4.10 ratio ( new option for '66 F 350's), you were literally were king of the road back then!

 

boy you are right on all points. I don't have the special paperwork because I am the second owner but it is the 352 and the 410 gears and the 8 foot bed.

 

The big question is what are you asking for it.

 

well bronco, Ioffered it to our Aussie friend for 15K

 

I think that is a fair price. Shipping might kibosh any deal tho.
