Man, that previous owner wasn't kidding about that truck being rust free!!

Other than a little wear, it looks good as new.

4X4's had the battery under the floor don't know why. I owned a 61 F100 Unibody that also had it there but wasn't a 4X4. It was made Sept. of 1960. Don't know if they still had the battery under the floor on 65&66 4X4's but 61-64's that I saw all did.

Unibodyguy... interesting that your uni had it under the floor on an early version. Must have been an early design change.
to my knowledge, and someone WILL correct me if I am wrong LOL
ALL 4x4's 61-65 had the battery in the floor. Exception for the 66 F100 4x i believe.
All Big trucks F350 and bigger 61-66 the battery is in the floor
the '65 and '66 f100 and f250 non 4x4 have the battery on the
Rad support.
All others have the battery up against the firewall .
I think this was done, because people were actually SHORTER 2 generations ago. It was a long reach up to those taller machines to haul a battery.
Truck is almost complete.

Johnny, another wierd thing about the same truck, it also had a round dial radio in it like a 57-60, and a hydo. clutch in it, must of been because of the change over time. I have a picture somewhere of the radio in the dash.
