What year is this Ford pickup truck?

whaNcock · Feb 11, 2019

My wife's grandpa had an old Ford pickup, and she's been trying to determine what year it was. She found this picture the other day with her grandpa and the front end of the truck. Do any of you know for sure what year it was? Thanks!

Looks like a 1966 to me...

Could be 64, 65 as well, I?m a Chevy man though

I just did a search on photos of 1960's Ford pickups. I think from that, this is a '64. The '63 was very similar, but the turn signal lights were closer to the the head lights, where the '64 looks like they are moved in a little like this one.

Looks like a 1964
I do not think the 65-66 had parking lights in the grille
it would be a F-100

I'll say 64' from the pics you can find online. 65' was the first year for twin I beam and it had an emblem on the side saying so and the grille was different.

I do not know for sure but it looks to me to be mis mash of parts.
Grill could be 65, filler piece above grill is earlier , about 61 or 2 .
parking lights are newer but don't seem to be correct for that grill.
Ford might have went to ambler lights in 62. Not positive about any of this.

Thanks everyone! We are going with 1964. Much appreciated!!!

Great Photo !. That is definitely a 1964 grill pattern, same size rectangles, signal lamps in grill. Going from memory, every 1961 to 1966 model year had a different pattern, I am not sure if they repeated any without looking it up. They are kind of easy to date, the '61 to '66 models. I have a '64 F-600 and we had a '66 for many years, it was one of our service trucks at the ford tractor dealership. One of my favorite era of Ford trucks is '61-'66, hard to not like that styling.
One interesting thing was that they used the previous series beds in this era, looks mismatched and it is, sometimes people would put the wrong year bed on a truck, from a salvage yard or something, but these came factory, Hi Boy F-250 version comes to mind.

1964 F-100, I bought one when I was in high school and drove it to class everyday. Hauled a lot of feed and friends in that truck.

I don't think they took a picture of the back of the truck.
