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:

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?
