This 1965 Ford pickup was part of the fourth generation of trucks, which was from the years of 1961 to 1966. There were F100 was produced over seven generations from 1948 to 1983 when the smallest of the series was ended. There were several changes from the third generation including having the bed sides in line with the hood and windowsill and a return to two headlights. Introduced during this generation was the “integrated pickup” with there being no gap between the cab and the bed. This was available as the 2×2 F100 and F250 models. However, this design was dropped during the 1963 model year after being shown to be a huge misstep on Ford’s part. The Twin-I-Beam suspension was introduced for the 1965 model year. There were several different engines offered: two Mileage Maker I6, two Straight Six, Y-block V8, and a FE V8.
