Fords Wrong bed history from 1961-1966. Since the introduction of Ford's styleside pickup in 1957, the bed and cab were two seperate componets, with a gap between them. This allowed for the cab and bed to twist independently as the truck was loaded or was crossing rough terrain. These were work trucks...plain and simple.However, Ford planners took notice of the fct that by early the 1960's light-truck buyers were purchasing pickups for light duty use and even just personal transportaion. They determined that by combining the cab and bed into a single assembly (which they called the 'intergrated body'), the truck required fewer stampings, fewer welds and was less complicted to paint. It also increased the load space by 16%. So in 1961, Ford introduced the 'unibody' (as it was called by the public, even though technically it wasn't) (Type 1), which was offered in the F100 and F250 2WD models was the only styleside versions for those two models. However both models were also available with a traditional flareside bed in 6' and 8' lengths. Soon after the unibody's introduction however, reports startd to trickle in that overloading the bed in some cases would cause the frame to twist enough that the doors would be difficult to open. Urban legend even sys that people actually fell out of the cabs afte the doors popped open (since lap belts were and option that most rucks were not equiped with), but there have been no substanitated reports of this happening. (In fact, Ford actually prided themselves on double-latching "Lifeguard" door locks.) There is some specpulation that a single-wall design of the unibody trucks bed area contributed in part to the problem ofthe frame tisting when the bed was loaded down, and that perhaps contributed to the problem of the frame twisting when the bed was loaded down, and perhaps a double wall bed design would have provide more rigidity Regardless of the cause, to address the complaints, Ford pushed an alternate styleside bed into production for the '62 model year, utilizing the basic design and appearance of the '57-'60 'Fridge' bed and which was already being used on the '61 F350 (TYPE 2). However, since the '61 F100 and F250 wheelbases had each increased by 4", the actual '57-'60 bed wouldn't fit the new chassis, so the 'new' styleside bed (based on the older '57-'60 design) would receive a few tweaks. (See 'Construction' below.)This bed would make it's official debut for the '62 model year as an available styleside bed option for the F100 and F250, and has since been dubbed the 'wrongbed' by Ford truck fansDue to poor market reception, and rumors that overloading caused the doors to jam shut, the unibody trucks were dropped midway through 1963 model year. The result was that some 1962 and 1963 trucks use the bed from the 1957 through 1960 style. Also, 1963 and 1964 4X4 used the 1957-1960 bed. The 1963-64 models have the turn signals located in the grill. From 1964 onward, the flare over the rear wheel arch was extended out to the taillights, rather than flowing over the wheel openin Ford would discontinue the 'unibody' truck around the middle of the 1963 model year (January/February 1963). The 'wrongbed' bed was available as an alternative to the unibody style starting in late 1962All 1961-1965 F100 4WD and all '61-'66 F250 4WD trucks had a wheelbase of 120", and since the Fridge-style 'wrongbed' was the only separate styleside pickup bed Ford had available to fit that wheelbase, starting in 1962, these trucks got the 'wrongbed' by default when a styleside bed was requested.

Vintage 4 wheel drive classics were limited to a need basis were conditions required 4wd for snow and ice or an overall harsher enviroment however places like sunny California 54 years ago people simply did not buy 4x4 trucks as they do today where a 4x4 truck is the norm the best example of supply affecting demand for vintage 4x4s are the 1966-1977 Ford Broncos or the old Toyota FJ40s which have skyrocketed in value in the last few years. The demand has gone up as the supply has dwindled. People in places like Wyoming or Michigan bought them for a purpose and over time used them up. The next collector boom is going to be vintage 4x4 trucks according to Fortune magazine and Hagerty Insurance the largest collector car Insurance company in the nation who has a vested interest in collector car trends and have said the rare (because few were built) 4 wheel drive trucks are on the way up the most valuable being the more limited production 4x4 models.
