Ford had been producing factory made pickup trucks since 1925. The F-100 was restyled in 1961, the fourth generation (1961-66) More refined, sleeker and slightly wider, windshield posts moved back for better vision and bigger pickup bed. 2 types of pickup were available; the traditional separate-fender body was called FlareSide, while the smooth-sided look was known as StyleSide. 1965 saw quite a few changes, the body was much the same, turn signals were moved from within the grille to above the headlights, above the grille, the grille a basic grid pattern. TWIN I-BEAM emblem now on the front fender, the 65 featured a new front suspension with coil springs. The more luxurious Custom Cab was still available, the Ranger model was introduced in 1965, it got bucket seats, a console and a curtain over the gas tank (which was behind the seats in the cab). 1966 saw few changes, a new more complex grille. Models available were; 1/2 ton F-100, 3/4 ton F-250 and 1 ton F-350.
