A couple of 1965 F-350 questions

Post by Lucky Lad »

1) Were cab roof marker lights available on F-350s? An option?

2) My 350 has a dump body on it that is narrow by todays standards, only 77" wide. As seen in the pictures the bed is no wider than the cab. It does have little fender extensions welded on to cover the tires. If you look at a modern dump body or flat bed for that matter, they look like they stick out about 6" wider on both sides than the cab. Is my DRW rear end narrower than a newer rear? I'm asking because I'm going to be looking for a newer rear soon and I'm wondering if a, say early 70s DRW rear is going to be wider than my current rear end.

Thanks, LL

Thanks IM. A lot of information in that brochure. It brings another question. The brochure lists standard and optional tires as 17.5 inches.
My truck has 16" wheels. Are those not original?

Thanks, LL
