I was wondering if anybody had some sort of idea how much my truck may have been when it was brand new in 1963? It's a Ford F100, original color was wimbledon white, has a 223 engine, 3 on the tree, regular cab, one visor on driver side, am radio, not a unibody,no door pockets and nothing fancy. Just really curious, thanks for any help.

Somewhere in the $2300 range. I've seen several original bills of sale and that seems to be the average price.

Add a zero to that price and you have the price of a cheap new truck...

when i bought my 65 from the original owner the title had the selling price printed on it $1,969.00 plus tax and delivery charges i would imagine.

I've posted this before. But here is the original bill of sale for my '65 F250. I think the "Camper Pkg" was the dealer installed saddle tanks because it isn't a Camper Special truck.
BTW, you only have one visor because the passenger visor was a $4.50 option.

Everything I've been able to find on my '63 Uni Custom Cab is $1700. It came with the 292 V-8, chrome knobs, radio, manual trans. But, I'd be more inclined to believe the other guys since they've probably been around slicks much longer than I have and more than likely have a library on the trucks to be envious of.

i would say bigmike's truck was a well optioned high dollar truck back in the day.
my 68 custom cab f100 with a 360 3 speed was about that much.

Remember the exchange names and numbers. Ellington's main swithcboard number was HUdson)4-1600. When I was growing up in the Montrose area (all straight neighborhood at that time) Our number was JAckson 8-2810

My old locker had the old air defense Klaxon warning tone list stuck to the back of it along with Ellington switchboard list of numbers like that. I think I have them tucked away someplace.
