1978 would be a close guess!  ------------------

Barry Poole of Sandy Elliot's Canadian Ford Drag Team had one in 1969-70.
I stood on it to watch at US 30 Drag Strip in 1970.------------------

Did Ford start them in Canada before the US? I'm pretty sure they didn't start here until 1973. I can check my books tomorrow. ------------------

They (Ford)started them in the mid seventies, but there were companies who converted them to crew cabs before that. Usually for government/forest ranger use.I have pics of a 67 or 68.

1969 is the first production year of Ford crew cabs. All previous years were custom.

I have seen elsewhere that the first year was 1966. The '65's had exterior hinges for the back doors and the Ford built '66's had hidden hinges.I have seen 1956 (built in 1956) 4 door trucks, built by aftermarket builders for Ford. They went to forestry and railroad service. Tracy
