Easily making my “Best Photos of 2026 List”, not to mention the best description list, and best seller’s list, this beautiful, perfect (as in, as cool as it gets), “rust-free” (!!) first-year-of-the-fourth-generation-F-Series, bumpside 1967 Ford F-350 4×4 with a 4-speed manual and upgraded 390 V8 truck is listed here on eBay in Winchester, Indiana. The current bid price is $8,300, but the reserve isn’t met.
If this truck were an F-150, it would make my Best Trucks of All Time list, but an F-350 is much more beef than I’d ever need in a real-world situation. Still, the seller says that the entire truck has been refurbished with new suspension, and the rust-free chassis has been powder-coated. Not to mention, added power steering, and even Vintage Air! Along with new springs, bushings, new brakes, drive shafts, new dual exhaust, and much more.
Oh yeah, and an upgraded 390 FE V8. Ford’s F-350s received a standard 240 straight-six, with an optional 300-six and 352 V8. The seller mentions this one has a 390 FE, which should have been available beginning in the 1968 model year, but not for ’67, according to what I can find. It’s a great update. Our ’69 F-250 had a 360 V8, and it wasn’t enough power. Inside the bed looks appropriately faded and used, but not abused, and looks as solid as the rest of the truck looks, and reportedly is. They say the body is an Arizona truck and is rust-free.
Hello, top-ten photo. They refer to this F-350 4×4 as a highboy, but that designation was reserved for F-250s from 1967 through about halfway through the 1977 model year. The fourth-generation F-Series was made for the 1967 model year until the end of 1972 here, and most of us affectionately refer to them as the bumpside era, as in the convex bump running along the side. If there’s a better wheel and tire combo, I can’t think of one, and these are new, of course. Here’s a 1967 Ford F-Series brochure.
Even the interior looks fantastic, and it appears a lot more “polished” than the faded exterior does. I believe this is a base Custom trim level, but this is no longer a base truck. The seller added a Steerman Cycle electric power steering system, one of the best names in power steering kits in the Midwest. That isn’t an inexpensive upgrade, but it’s a nice one. Did I mention the Vintage Air AC system? You can see the third pedal below the AC vent, and this one has a 4-speed manual.
The seller sent this photo to me almost instantly when I asked if they had an engine photo. AAA+++! It’s cleaner than any part of our house, including the inside of our refrigerator. This blue beauty is Ford’s 390-cu.in. OHV V8, and we don’t know the year or exact power ratings, but I’d guess somewhere around 255 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. Backed by a 2-speed transfer case and 4-speed manual sending power to all four wheels as needed, this entire truck has been gone through top to bottom, mechanically. They say it runs great, but the turn signals aren’t working, nor is the gas gauge. Nobody uses turn signals anymore other than me, but I’d want the gas gauge to work. Please check out the eBay link to read everything that has been completed on this ridiculously cool F-350 4×4 and let us know your thoughts.
Great write-up SG on a great F-350. Wonderful photos. I love the I-mean-business look and feel. How did this truck escape the typically-all-consuming rust? The drive to Home Depot might not be smooth but it sure would be enjoyable and attention-grabbing.
Yumpin’ Yiminey, this is a better deal than the ’97, why isn’t it gone? Must you slap potential buyers behind the head, what’s the delay? All of 10 people,,,I don’t get it. This truck, by rights, should have a swarm of bidders, it typically doesn’t exist, people, ( crickets), well, I said it before, coming up on a boon of great trucks the Ipod kids can’t drive. The downside is, neither can we. I always question why an electric P/S is used, I mean, the holes must be in the frame for a regular unit, but I suppose any assist is a good assist. I had a ’67 F250 very similar, same colors only 2WD, column shift, 390, went from gas station to gas station, I did. Someone will get a really nice, rough riding, ill braking, lane a wanderin’, gas user, things we never thought about. I all but guarantee, coming from a modern truck, this will seem like a death trap. Wuss,,
Previously bid to $25,100, did not meet reserve.

Nice truck. Like Howard said if you’re used to newer rigs, this will seem like a farm tractor to drive.
Beautiful truck and a great write up as usual! This will make someone a great ride but at what price? Make sure your health insurance is up to date for the chiropractor appointments for anything over 10 miles in distance! Great find!
It’s an F-250, not a 350. F-350s prior to 1973 were all cab and chassis with dual rear wheels. The 390 engine was not available in a four wheel drive either. This truck is a pristine example of the breed, for sure. Should easily sell for around 30K plus.
David G, that’s an interesting observation. There is definitely an F-350 badge on the front fenders:
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/5mMAAeSw60hqHLSg/s-l960.webp
Wiki says that a 9-foot Flareside bed was offered on the F-350, but they only mention an F-150 and F250 for the Styleside bed.
“Bed options
Styleside on F-100 and F-250. 6.5′ and 8′ lengths.
Flareside on all models, 6.5′, 8′ and 9′ (F-350 only) lengths.
Platform stakes on F-250 and F-350 in 9′ and 12′ lengths.”
But, a lot of other literature I see now lists the F-350 as a chassis-cab, or stake bed, etc. Some sources say that a 1-ton pickup was made in ’67, but the seller does mention that the body is from Arizona. Maybe it was a cab-chassis, and a bed was added? Hmm…
The seller says (as I mentioned) that the 390 was added, as was electric power steering, so those weren’t described as having been in this truck originally. Thanks for bringing that up! Maybe some other Ford experts can shed some more light on this. I would have bet anything that an F-350 pickup was available in 1967, but maybe not?
Adding to the confusion, the F-250 4X4’s a.k.a. “Highboys” used the F-350 frames intended for dual rear wheel 350’s. They are known as “straight frames” as they do not curve out at the rear axle, which was necessary for clearance for the inner wheel of the dual rear wheel setup used on 350’s.
A good friend of mine had a stock ‘67 F350 2WD with a Flareside bed. 300 six/ 4 speed.
I sure won’t argue with you, Bunky, but now that you mention it, I do remember a ’64 F-350 Flareside in the region. It makes sense because their were a lot of Ford Tonners with pickup beds, plus F-3s (I learned to drive in an F-3), but I do have to say that I never saw any pickup higher than an F-250 from ’67 to ’72. They must have been there; I probably just didn’t see one…
Very well done, but like David G says, the F-350 was a 2wd, Cab/chassis only, in 1967.
The 390 wasn’t available in Ford light trucks until ’68, and it was NEVER available in 4x4s.
We had a ’67 3/4 ton 4×4 on the ranch. It held up very well, well enough to be replaced with a ’71 model. However, the need for a heavier truck showed its head and we were faced with either a Dodge or an International. At the time Dodge was the only choice because Binder was on strike so Dodge, it was.
According to my information, Ford never offered an F350 4×4 until the 80s. GM came out with its K-30/3500 in ’78 and were they ever rough.
Despite a few negatives, this is one impressive truck that would do just fine, sitting on my driveway.
Attached a pic of an interesting conversation piece from the north side of the 49th…
Thanks for the info, Geo. That Merc is a dream truck for sure. Wasn’t ’68 the last year for Mercury pickups?
Yes, Scotty, ’68 was the last year for Mercury trucks in general. Interesting that Ford offered the full line of Mercury trucks, short of Class 8. One of the Coffee Row regulars insisted that he saw a 2-Storey Edsel (W-series) in Mercury regalia but I never saw anything. But then, even though I was a border brat, seeing a lot of trucks go both ways through Sweetgrass, I never saw a Class 8 Mercury. Another interesting point is that the COE line and the Super Duty Line were all built in Detroit. They just had Mercury badging.
1979 was the first year you could get a F350 4×4.
I prefer the spare tire behind the drivers seat
Like my 69 F-250 this truck has an auxiliary tank. My guess is the main tank behind the seat is missing like on my truck making the gas gauge not work.
That’s PhD-level stuff, Daniel, thanks!
Truck would look great with a short bed.
Great, great comments, folks! After over a decade here at Barn Finds, I’m still learning new things every single day, like Ford never offered an F-350 Styleside until 1973. And all of the other great comments. For what now appears to be a bit of a “restomod,” I still really like this F-350 creation. Thanks, guys!
Interesting conversation in the comments here. I’d add that a quick check of the stroke on this motor to verify it’s a 390 and not a 360. Not that a 360 isn’t a great truck motor, it’s no 390. Visually there’s no differences.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
Great looking truck especially with this color combination. Add in the upgrades and other improvements and you have a truck that should sell because a lot of people like we BF fans are attracted to this like bees to flowers. Steve R, with his usual informative research; reveals the previous high bid that fell short of the seller’s reserve. It’ll be interesting to see what happens this go around. I’ll watch the auction and my guess is that it’s going to take at least thirty large for this cool truck to find a new owner. GLWTS.
One key difference between the later trucks and this F250 4×4 is that these used the standard frame rail spacing for commercial vehicles of all sizes — 34″ outside to outside. Most later pickups used frame rails spaced at 37″ (or some other non-standard measurement.) As far as I know, if you bought a Peterbilt of Kenworth road tractor right now, it would have frame rails spaced 34″ apart! I had a ’68 F250 4×4, and that standard frame dimension made finding and installing a dump hoist so much easier than it would have been on some of the other trucks of the era. My hoist came off of a Chevy C50 and it dropped on my frame like it was made for it. F250 4×4’s were about the easiest trucks to up-fit you could ask for, considering the straight frame rails with minimal kick-up over the rear axle and no fuel tank to muddy the waters. Oh for the good old days!
I’m humbled by the incredible knowledge of the Barn Finds family of readers and commenters. These are some incredible details. Thanks again to everyone for adding so much information to this one!
Chevy had those HD 2500 series that I think was a bit of 1500 mixed with 2500 guts and maybe frame too.
This truck provides a rebutal to a lot of common comments like “if only it had a 4 speed” or “no air, no sale”. Pretty colors too.

Sold on 6/24/2026 for a high bid of $60,100, there were 90 bids from 16 bidders. It will be interesting to see if the sale is completed or if it gets re-listed.
Steve R
Jeez. It’s a great truck but $60k?
Oof.
Thanks, Steve!
I love this (restomod?) F-350, but for less than half that selling price, this diesel Dodge looks pretty appealing.
https://barnfinds.com/1989-dodge-power-ram-w350-turbo-diesel/
There is allot of crazy money out there if it bid to 60 large. Gold is down a G from all time high. Nothing surprises me now days. And that is nothing but stock FOMOCO parts.
But 60K? Wow just wow that seller is in the TALL cotton.
