  • In this episode of What The Truck? we chat with Riley over at @hodsonmotors about his one-of-a-kind 1964 F250.
    This 64' F250 is far from original with an F600 front end treatment, an F800 firetruck roof, a unibody big back window, custom made bed with widened & lengthened fenders rolling on 38" tires powered with a Ford Racing 460ci V8

      @@FordEra Beautiful build! A great balance between retro and mod. Raised roof, MD F series fenders, widened bed and rear fenders... all subtle touches that look like the belong. One suggestion: take that forest surface badge off and clearcoat it... If you let it tarnish it will kinda disappear. I like the way it attracts attention as is!

    I'm a chevy guy, but I can appreciate a well built Ford or Dodge, especially classics like this truck. Back then vehicles had such character to them. Nowa days everything tries to have that boring euro look to them and its started to trickle over to modern pickups.

      Stepside was Chevy's term for a narrowbed but it became a generic term by truck enthusiasts for narrowbeds from other manufacturers as well.
      GMC called them fendersides, Ford, flaresides, and Dodge called them utilines.

    Hello Soloman thats a really cool truck. I had a 1964 F850 Super Duty, (the original super duty) tandem axle tractor. it had Bostrom seats but it didn't have the tall cab. and I bounced my head off the headliner quite a few times. It was a pretty cool old truck, it was a gas pot with a 534ci V8 and six speed automatic transmission. I had a 40' flatbed trailer for it, but the person I was going to contract it to went out of business so I sold it. this video brought back quite a few memories thanks brother.

    Great truck! I think that it truly is an F-250. I say that because you have a leaf spring suspension in the front. I had a 1966 F100 4x4 short wheelbase stepside. Mine had coil spring suspension in the front (same through 1979) and a single speed transfer case. You guys really did an EXCELLENT job on that resto.
