carsntrucks4you Posted August 1 Posted August 1 (edited) 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?

Fabrux Posted August 1 Posted August 1 (edited) 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. Edited August 1 by Fabrux

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.
leafsprings2 Posted August 3 Posted August 3 The same 8' '57-'60 bed was used on '62- '63 2WD and '62-'65 4WD F 100's. Also used on '62-'63 2WD and '62-'66 4WD F 250. A longer 9' version was used on the 61-'66 F 350 pickups. '64-'66 F 100 2WD never came with the '57-'60 bed. The '57-60 bed could be used on the Moebius '65 if built as a 4WD F 100 or F 250 or '66 F 250 4WD
