Traded off the 59 for a unibody

Well I traded off my 59 Ford Custom 300 for a 62 F100 Unibody. Some ***embly required on the truck. I will post more later. Here are some pics.

 

looks good nice start. is that a mustang II front end in it also? not bad

 

Nice!

 

Looks good, what engine/trans is in it?

 

I guess your gonna want Mercury trim and a tailgate too now eh!
Great truck. Loved that 59 too though

Did they ever make merc unibodys?? I'd ***ume so, but they'd be rare!

 

It has a built what I was told is a 302 but casting number comes up as a 351W. I will need to research it a little more. The guy who was building it lost insterest and had done no work to it since 97. It has a Jim Meyer front end which was installed down at his shop in Oregon, Four link installed by Marshall, All the patch panels to fix the cab mounts are with it, hood and front fenders are in DP50 with all rust repaired. The truck is really straight with almost zero rust in the bed. I need to plumb the brakes, set up a fuel system, set up steering and electrical and mount front sheet metal. Oh fun. Shiney think I will stay with the stock ford stuff I actually decide to keep on.

Yup, there are merc unibodys, I've only seen pics, quite rare...

 

I would like to find a F350 front lower panel to use as a roll pan.

 

What year F350 panel? i have a buddy that might have one ill check if you would like.

 

I believe it is 61-65

 

Good lookin truck Kidd!

 

Cool I liked the 59 but now it is something new to cruise in! well when you get it driving...

 

Sweet. And a nice looking motor already.

 

Anybody out there interested in a fresh C4? I am looking for a AOD to install in this. I am pretty stoked about this truck these have always been one of my favorite trucks. I found a tailgate at one of the local wrecking yard which is in better shape than mine for 50.00 bucks so thats one item off the work list already.
