Features *OFFICIAL* Ford Unibody 61-63 Pict Thread

Heres some pics of both of mine. 62 with a 66 Grille. 351w, auto C6, disc brakes up front, one leaf removed from the front (drives like crap now but looks good), constantly changing things and modifying it. Built as a daily driver, not a show truck, and yes, I drive this truck to work EVERY DAY, rain or shine!

 

I am about to start on a 62 for a client. I'm heading out now to get the 292 running.

 

I never liked the uni doors IMO. I like what you did so far. Looks real good.

 

What's the difference in the doors?

 

Looks close at the body line. The yellow door is a straight line that carries to the bed. The other is more of a sweptline. A newer year door.

 

I like the uni doors on the uni body. I think thats what sets the uni trucks out is the one straight body line angled down throughout the whole truck.

 

Ditto

 

Well I have gotten a little deeper into my uni too. I got the bed floor cut out, front clip peeled off, rear suspension flipped and grabbed onto a 4v 351c and a toploader. I am still getting to the rust but i need to get the body seperated from the frame so I can finish up the rust repair and get the frame boxed to handle coming out of the hole with a manual trans.

 

I dig the shit out of the look of yours. If I could roll mine out it should have a similar stance if maybe a couple inches taller. Good uni doors aren't that hard to find, just seems like an awe-full lot of work to splice the two.

 

Just a little teaser, but Bigredtodd and I have a new LSR Uni in the works. A build thread is sure to pop up in the months to come.



Y-Block powered of course!!

 

going to build a twin turbo y to get the brick over 100???

 

We've already done 125 in a "Fridge" with 258ci N/A Y-Block.

 

excelent! Start your thread and get to work so I have something to aspire to. I want mine to do 125 too, just in the 1/4...

 

I'd say a build thread is a pretty safe bet

 

Please post a link here to your build thread when you get to it. I don't want to miss it!

 

Will do! Todd and I are getting started this weekend, something to post may be ready soon.

 

I like mine because you never see em where I live at, everyone has a cookie cutter truck around here...

I promise I will be starting a build thread soon and will post it here...but gonna spend the rest of the day with my lovely wife, looking at baby furniture and relaxing...

But here's a few teasers of the truck, and the company it's keeping...

My wife (and baby BIGREDTODD, due 4/2011) clearly excited about the new arrival:

A better shot of the truck, a pretty rust free CA rig:

Tim and Myself, pretty happy with the new prospect:

and the "BIGREDTODD 3 Ford Garage" ...

 

AWESOME addition to the garage! Can't wait to read the build.

 

I just bought a 63 short box, picking it up tomorrow.
Georgia truck, it's complete but in pieces.
guy tells me it,s all there except front bumper

I've got a 429 and a c-6 from a 68 T-bird for it, it came with a 292

 

Trying to post a picture of our '62 Unibody. A Mustang II with a 4.6 and 4R70W. 3.25:1 posi and full power everything.

 

Mine's not a uni, but it's close. I love these trucks. Thanks for starting this thread, it's spawned a few ideas for me.

 

Theres something wrong with your floor.

 

Yup, your right. Looks like who ever did the floor repair didn't put the step in it! I'd bolt a door on before I went too far to make sure it clears ok. If the door clears I guess it wouldn't matter unless you a purist.

 

The step is there, the guy I bought it from said he wanted a larger floor
to put a different seat in. He just boxed in the drivers side, I plan on
ripping that metal off and leaving the factory step as is.
The floor is factory sheet metal.

 

When I get to the point of doing the floors on mine I will loose the big gap between the door and floor on mine. I dont like it when you have gaps like that.

 

Here is my 61 F-100

 

Nice looking truck JimSwann! someday....
