I'm think about to build one of the 1966 F100 from Moeboius as a wrongbed truck. As far as I under stood is the socalled wrong bed not a 1960 bed that what used on the '64-'66 F100. The 1961 the 1960 bed was used on  the F350. THe wheelbase on the 1961-1963 F-Series was 4" shorter than on the 1964-1966 models. There for the bed is different. 

Is there a resin caster that offer a 1964-1966 Wrongbed for a F100?

I have a wrongbed project on the go myself. I used a Moebius F-250 4x4 chassis and cab, bed from the AMT '60 F-100, and a printed '61 grille. I had to shorten the wheelbase accordingly.

Ford was going all in on the unibody for 1961 and hadn't tooled up a wide bed for the new body. They quickly introduced the old bed for 4x4 configurations due to excessive body flex.

You are correct for 1961 but with the increase wheelbase in 1964 they had design a new box similar to the 1960 one. 4" in the front panel different rear corners for f100 and F250 and 2 different mounting points.
