Just when did the 1st crew cabs come out ?
I didn't think they were around back in 1964, thought it was more like the 1980's. Anyway here's a nice short story of a retro D200 Super charged 5.7 Hemi to boot.

That is where I seen the crew cab for the first time USAF truck painted dark blue. I guess you had plenty of Nuclear silos as well.
In fact isn't there a silo you can tour in South Dakota?
I am not sure about a silo tour. There indeed might be, but I just do not know.
RE fuel tanks. Golden_HVAC mentioned that the in the cab fuel tank was dropped in 1974 because of government regulations.
:h Cannot agree with this. My very first truck I myself purchased (and ordered new for me) was an early 1977 Ford F250 4X4 regular cab (who wanted one of those ugly big cabs back then :B).
As an early version 1977 model (high boy believed they were later called) it did have the fuel tank in the cab.
A good friend bought his F 250 later that same year. It was also a 1977 version, but his had the frame mounted fuel tank, out of the cab. It was a slightly lower version of mine, so a low boy.
