I am looking at a 65 f350 with a dump bed on it. It has a 64 style cab with the steps inside the door. The cab roof and drivers door is caved in, due to a tree falling on it. I have a 66 cab roof and doors, and was wondering if they would interchange.
The truck has the wide opening front fenders, 352 engine with a 4 speed.
Also the round speedo anf 4 spoke steering wheel.
There is also what looks like a external mounted booster beside the master cylinder. The owner said it is a 65 but why thy 64 style cab.
I can get this truck for free so i will get it.
Thanks for the help and i will get pictures up when i get it home.
Thanks,
Wes

Big truck vs little truck
My '66 F-350 also has the cab you are describing. Steps in the floor, wide front fenders, vacuum booster on the master brake cylinder, round gauges. I think it is less to do with '64 styling and more to do with the front axle on the heavier trucks. Your '65 F-350 will probably have a straight axle in front, and the cab design and fenders go with this.
Somebody straighten me out if I'm way off, but I have four '66 Ford trucks - all the 1/2 tons are identical and the F-350 is completely different.

That's what I've seen to be the norm also.
'65 & '66 F350's (and larger) had the '64 style basic cab, presumably because of frame mounting & steering differences.
'65 & '66 F250 4x4's also had the same basic cab inside, like this example...
