I feel it's definitely not a D series more like a B series because I had a c4bg. To me I feel it's a c5bd look close at the tire size and bigger planitaries.

Can't tell much of anything from the low quality of pic posted. 

Maybe can figure out how to get good pics up in your gallery. That would help.  ;)

Best I can do sorry, I'm confident it's a pulpwood special c4b with Braden winch.

It's definitely a B series. The C series cab is closed in behind and has the hydraulic oil tank on the back. Generally speaking Ford power with a Gearmatic 9 winch makes it a C4 and a GM 353 with either a Braden or Gearmatic 19 winch made it a C5. Earlier B's had a non adjustable pipe arch which evolved into a the formed steel plate adjustable arch this one has.
I'm no expert on the Tree Farmer " Pulpwood Special ". The little that I've heard about them is that they may have been C4B's with a C5B winch on them.
The switch from the B series to the C series happened in 1968.
