I see you have the low wheel well bed on yours. When I got mine I had heard some of the 65 & 66 250 4x4's used the late 50's (like 57 -58 - 59 - 60 maybe?) beds on them. The earlier beds had the round tail lights and the tail gate that has chains and toggles. The body lines don't match but I've seen them this way many times? Is yours the "delux three man comfort cab?" ... Or does it have the step inside the door jam?

Mine has a Step in the doorjam! Im new to the 60s ford trucks! I don't know much about them!

On my truck the SpeedO is not working but the Mileage is! I don't think its the cable! The Gears look good to!

I also like the International r185 fire truck too, I am restoring a r 205 "binder" now. Nice to see that you are back in Ford country and loosing the Dodge.

Ahh then you too have the cozy cab. I barely fit in mine. My gut is about an inch from the steering wheel and my knees are up past the window openings!! They weren't made for tall people with beer guts.

My speedometer works but not my mile counter... between the two of us we could kake one good unit.
