No, what the very first year ford made a four door cab. I'm fairly certain that's before 1970. I've used the googlefoo but the results have not been what I'm looking for.

I'm not certain, but I've seen some 3/4 and 1 ton versions with 4 doors going back to the 1970's. They may not have been regular production vehicles, but special orders for utility and construction companies. They started showing up more often in the early 90's, but once again I can't say for sure exactly when.

Found This:

Ford started offering a 4-door crew cab on the F-250 and F-350 in 1965. Before 1965, Ford farmed out trucks to a number of coachworks across the country to convert the regular cab trucks to crew cab trucks. These trucks were sold at the Ford dealerships (or even directly through Ford for large orders of vehicles) and many of them still carried a Ford warranty since they were authorized builds. Ford, however, never actually started normal in-house production until 1965.
