61-64 ford trucks?

are there any pics of these trucks around? i searched the forum and couldn't find jack .... so if you have any pics of these, post em up?

here is mine.



1961 Ford F100 Uni body with a 223 inline 6, 3 on the tree, and all original sheetmetal. picked it up for 300 from a kid that was tryin to pay off a ranger he had just bought.

your turn...

 

Sorry I don't have a picture. I had a 63, with a 292 and a 3 speed.It had a short flair side bed. I loved it but it had terminal rust in too many places, so I let another guy have it, who had better rescources to play with. My uncle had a 64 with an 8 foot bed. His had a 223 and a 3 speed in it. He used to haul a good sized camping trailer with it, but it was a little rough on long hills. Good luck with yours!

 

My old Unibody from 1976. It was a six auto custom cab posi rear radio delete all original no rust ever factory paint. Truck was rear ended by dumb *** in Memphis.

 

Plenty of threads on these trucks....

my 1964...had a 223 + 3 on the tree.....sorry, the pic is pretty dark

 

Here's a couple for ya !

 

I have a '64 with a 302 from out of a 93 Econoline, I put in last fall. Ive had it for 4 yrs now and since made a new bed, tailgate, floor pans, bench seat, red steelies, white walls, numerous paint jobs, new suspension, and four inch exhaust with flame throwers. I love my truck and wouldnt get rid of it for the world.

 

This body style was used from 1961-66. The 61-64 had a beam axle with dual springs. The 65-66 were the first Twin-I-Beam years which lasted about 30 years.

 

61 F-250:


bone stock, I-6, 4 Spd, 35K miles

Here's a pic of my '64. Cleaned up Y-block 292 with headers and electronic ignition, 3spd Toploader, Ford 9" rear end, lowered 3" up front 4" out back. Do you guys like it?

 

And Im going to guess the front cab mounts are completely rotted out.

 

I popped a set of taillight lens out of a 61 on Saturday in a junkyard.there is a Merc truck about the same vintage there also!Also liberated some back gl*** for early 50,s Dodge trucks,a drivers door gl*** from a 46 Dodge,back window from a 64 GMC truck,right front 51 Merc car door.....the list goes on.No shortage of old trucks on the farms up here!

 

65 had a straight axel too - 66 fas the first year for twin I beams - mine was a 65 short wide bed - 352 with auto trany - oak and tucked interior - ford marlin blue - nice truck untill it got mashed on the way to and all ford show in Murfressboro Tn. don't miss it much now though - we go on

 

Actually, no, the cab mounts are as solid as they come. There's no real rust anywhere, just surface crud and corrosion. I know what you're thinking, and its been brought to my attention a couple times. The truck was hit from the front at one point during its life, and the crash caused all the front sheetmetal (fenders, hood) to get jammed up a little bit. Look along the styling line down the side of the truck. Its straight from end of bed to front of cab. And then the fender/hood line is slightly pushed upward.

You can only tell when you look at the truck from that angle!

 

Sorry ja**, but '64 was the last year of the straight axle. '65 through '96 were the twin I-beams...

 

have one for sale. pic link in cl***ifieds.

 

Haha Matt, you knew exactly what I was looking at.

Yeah I had a 62 uni thats front mounts were all jacked, sat like that.

 

Heres my '66 Merc crew cab.
I got the clip in, C notched the rear, mill and trans are in, brakes are just about done..... basically all the fab work is just about done.
Should have it on the ground soon.
I have a few more of these trucks and will be buildin another soon.

My buddy had a unibody twenty years ago, nobody I knew had ever seen one before. When I was at the Roundup this year, I saw several of these year of trucks, ALL were unibodies. Go figure.

 

This is a 61 Unibody i built for Steve Owens in Santa Ana. Vette Front & Rear Suspension, 460/C6. Goes Like Stink

 

Dig the crew cab!

Here's a shot of mine in the background... (its a 65)

 

Thats going to be a cool little truck when your done, but I'm fond of crewcabs. Plus I applaud you for building it on a dirt floor, cause thats too hard for me- I like concrete.

 

Here is my shop truck although Its been on here somewere before.

 

I have a 56 big window, but always wanted a uni-body. This 64 was at Goodguys in Nashville last year, one of the best looking I've ever seen. It like mine used NO airbags

 

We're building one now for a shop truck. I don't have many pictures of the whole truck since it's still mostly apart.

Here's a shot with the front clip on but not bolted down.


and here's a shot of the front clip and engine we put in it. 1977 Lincoln Mark front frame section. Power steering & disc brakes plus the 460 power plant.

 

Wicked ford

 

I've got a 62 (I'll post recent pix later). How do you guys get it so low? I'd really like to get mine dramatically lower without bags.

 

My 56 has a camaro clip with dropped spindles and if I remember correctly, the 64 had a Mustang II set-up.

 

The baddest one I've ever seen......
