A guy at the Fordification asked me this question but I dont have a 4x4 so Im asking if your guys could answer his question.
I was under the impression your fixing up a 64-65 right? I wanted to ask you if the frames are the same as the bumpsides since the disk brake conversion using 73-79 works on your series also. I am researching a 64-65 body swap on to a 4x4 dentside chassis..thanks
Thanks

65 F250 Custom cab, camper special. 352,4spd floor shift, dana 60 posi lock, power disc brakes in front, power steering, and fun to drive.
The cab from a 65-66 2x4 will drop into a later 4x4 (67-79??) I am pretty sure. 61-64 are different, but can be make to work with serious alterations and skill in the part of the person doing the swap.
Concept: The cabs that went with a twin I-beam truck are fundamentally different from the earlier straight axel variety. Likewise, once the frame was changed over to a twin-I variety, the mounts for rad support and cab did not change till 79 (80??).
4x4 changed over later, so 65--66 4x4 trucks actually used the earlier cabs and frames. Think of them as 61-64 trucks.
The bolt holes and wheel base may give some trouble in the box area, though many are sucessful in "fudging" things a bit and making it look OK.
1965 F-100 240 Autolite 1101, Disk brake dual master upgraded, swapped over to C4 and powersteering. Bought by my Dad new in March 65'
Planned/considered upgrades: Perhaps power brakes, 300 I6 motor and JUST maybe, AC!
