- Ford trucks revolutionized the pickup truck industry and even remain the best-selling vehicle of all time as of 2010. The 1967 Ford Truck is the fifth generation in the F-series full-size pickup trucks from Ford Motor Company manufactured from 1967 to 1972. Ford redesigned this generation to comply with federal regulations requiring side marker reflectors or lights.
- 1967 Ford trucks gained a reputation not only for the simple design of the body and chassis but for durability as well. Ford manufactured three trim lines---Base, Custom Cab and Ranger---which it offered as two- or four-door models. Like all other Ford pickups, this rear-wheel-drive truck had its engine in the front. The body sat on a steel chassis.
- The base power train for the 1967 Ford truck is a 4.7-liter V-8 engine, which operates on a four-gear manual transmission. It has 225 base horsepower at 4,800 revolutions per minute (rpm) and a compression ratio of 9.8 to 1. It has a 16-valve overhead valve (OHV) valve train with two valves per cylinder and a cast-iron block.
Other engine options for the 1967 Ford truck include the larger versions of Ford's FE engine family, including the 360 and 390, as well as the Windsor V8 which was roughly 302 cubic inches in size. - Characterized by the same squared body lines and indented flat side panels commonly found on '50s and '60s pickups, the 1967 Ford truck has a wheelbase of 113 inches and a seating capacity of three. Ranger models also included stainless moldings.
The 1967 Ford truck remains a collector's item as of 2010 and attracts restoration efforts from many car enthusiasts. Prices for the 1967 Ford trucks range from as little as $500 to as much as $20,000 as of 2010, depending on the trim and condition of the pickup. The Ranger trim also tends to garner a slightly higher price than the Base and Custom Cab trims.
