[taxreliever]

Welcome, good luck with this beast.....any pics of the engine bay?

Welcome aboard. Quite the find. That looks like a tough truck with a ton of character. If trucks could talk, right? Anyway, great to have you and enjoy your stay.

Welcome to FTF, Youngbuck! Wow.....what a wonderful find, and a custom cab 4x4 at that!

what makes this truck a custom cab besides the door handles? and can i put a regular bed on it or do i need to stay with the old style bed?

-and let me start by saying that this truck is NOT original at all. different chassis and body, engine swap approx. eight years ago, so i dont have a "rightous" find here, just a fordasaurus:

And this is the color that i plan on re-painting it

8 Valve cover bolts= 351M/400 (335 series)
7 VC bolts=429/460 (385 series)
6 VC bolts= 302/351W (small block)
5 VC bolts= 360/390 (FE)

and can i put a regular bed on it or do i need to stay with the old style bed?

As for the bed, that looks like a 58-60 bed to me. SO yes, you can put a body style correct bed on there. As a matter of fact, you can put just about any bed you please on there if you can drill some holes.

It's a '64, and if it's a factory V8, it has a 292 Y block in it.

well i have this bed that looks like it came of a 66 ford and its been made into a trailer but its still a good bed

 

[Blue Goose]

As long as it's the right length bed, '64-'66 beds are interchangeable.
