Nice pic, any idea what year it is?

I use to have a old truck very similar to that, mine was a 1975 f500.

That's great. Dad had a ford like that but a tractor trailer. Big block and 12 cord to a load. Not even close to legal lol

My guess would be 63, maybe 64. I think Ford kept that body style up to 66. I had a 67 F-600, that was a good little truck.

I learned how to drive on a truck just like that one.

Age had nothing to do with it. When you grew enough that you could sit at the edge of the seat, push in the clutch, and still see over the dash, you were old enough. Training was a conversation with Dad saying, "It's just like driving a tractor, but easier. The truck has only one brake pedal." ;D

In that old truck I also learned that it's always the kids job to scrape off old gasket material, it's a lot easier to repair flats on a pickup, you can over load one with green lumber, and when you pop the clutch in a hay field daddys do not like being dumped off the back end. Especially if they have to restack the load.  :D

Thanks for posting the picture.

I have a 63 and the grill is different
After looking closer, and digging out some old pictures. I believe you're right. Looks like a 65.
