1966 Ford F250 for sale in our Houston Showroom. In October 1964,
the 1965 F-Series was introduced an all-new frame which underpinned
the F-Series until 1979 (in contrast, the body remained largely
unchanged); consequently, many parts from the 1965-1979 model years
are interchangeable such as brakes and motor mounts. An
all-new�Twin I-Beam front suspension�was introduced with�coil
springs; 1965-1966 F-Series trucks are distinguished with a "TWIN
I-BEAM" emblem on the front fender. Twin I-Beam front suspension
would go on to be adopted across the light-duty Ford truck and van
lineup with 4x4 pickup getting the Dana 44 based "Twin Traction
Beam" front axle in 1980. Over half a century later, the twin
I-beam design is still in use in the E-Series cab and chassis vans.
To give the 1965 F-Series the same passenger capacity as the
majority of its car lineup, the F-Series now included a 4-door
crew-cab model. In 1964, the venerable�300-cubic inch (4.9
L)�and�240-cubic inch (3.9 L)�straight six�was introduced. While
the 240 was discontinued in 1977, the 300 remain in the F-Series
lineup until the end of the 1996 model year. With the introduction
of the 208-hp�FE�V8, output surpassed 200�hp in the F-Series for
the first time. This truck comes with the numbers matching 300
inline 6 cylinder and 4 speed manual transmission. Options include
seat belts, vinyl interior, raised white letters radial tires, and
aluminum alloy wheels. New parts to keep this truck running like a
champ include new battery, alternator and clutch. This is a 3 owner
truck and has been with the same family. It has 63,700 actual miles
and is left mostly original. This truck is located at our Houston
location showroom and can be seen at www.GatewayClassicCars.com,
