Hello all,

Let me start with a little about myself. Mt name is Sam and Im from Washington State. Im a Marine combat vet that lives and breaths everything ford. I currently work in the security line of work. im 28 years old and love what i do...anyway enough of the blah, blah, blah...lol

I just bought a 65 4x4 f-250/350 as a project. It needs alot of love and this is my first truck of this year and I know very little about it. Here is what I know

I know it has/had an inline 6 maybe a 300ci? It also had a 3 speed on the colume that is now missing. It also has some unknown divorced transfer case and PTO powered winch. It is a 8 foot step side. standerd cab.

I will post pics as soon as I can I have not even got it home yet but Im looking forward to getting this old girl back on the road.

Thanks for the help

Sam

Welcome to FTF!
That's a cool truck, can't wait for some pic's.

Welcome and good luck with your build. Remember, no pics, it didnt happen lol

here are some pics I took after I got it home yesterday

she is a little rough I know but I will get her cleaned up

Welcome to FTF, that looks like a pretty solid truck to start with

That looks like a great project. Good luck with it and keep us updated as you go along.. Welcome to FTF.!

Have you been using your shed for practice with an anti-aircraft gun.?

the building behind the truck was shot up by the previous occupant with a shot gun. that happened before we bought the property. taking it down is on my summer to do list this year. it is a big time hazard and a bigger eye sore.

Welcome to FTF

so i decided to remove the drive lines to ease moving the old girl around and I thought i would show you all what they looked liked

my guess is they were not very careful with the forklift at the where I bought it

You can have new pipe put on the old yokes and splines.

Nice truck! Shame about the driveshafts but I agree with Mark. Hopefully the splines aren't worn out, but they make more of those too.

The engine code on your vin (4th character - F25 B or J) should tell you what was there originally. If I remember right, code B was the 300 and code J was the 240.

Thanks for the info unfortunately the splines are bent on the rear shaft the front might be savagable.


Also im haveing a hard time finding the original vin the vin plate on the door is not to my truck
