These mills were FE (Ford-Edsel) architecture engines, the former essentially a destroked 390 for better torque. The 352-cid Y-block was dropped, replaced with 360- and 390-cid V-8s. Powertrain availability continued from the previous year, but in 1968 the V-8 engine options were significantly changed. Also new for 1967 was the first factory cataloged crew cab, albeit on ¾-ton and larger pickups. Trim levels were standard cab, Custom Cab, and Ranger. Prominent features included a pronounced horizontal crease that bisected the bodywork, straight-edged wheel well openings, and a more intricate grille assembly. While Ford’s line of light duty trucks looked to be all new in 1967, it was actually based on the previous generation’s architecture from 1961 through 1966, only with new styling.
