anyone building a unibody truck?

is anyone out there building a 61-63 unibody truck? If so post some pics. Im building a pro street 62 and love to see what others have done to make these trucks look good.

Last one I remember seeing was Wes Litrells Cousin in Missouri.... Believe he parted it out after running it a few years..... Was a Neat truck at the bash.

Google images "61 prostreet ford f100" "62 prostreet ford f100" ect. I have a 67 f100 if that means anything If you have any questions just ask because believe it or not there is a bit in common between slicksides, bumpsides and dentsides.

The unibody 61/62 is cab/body NOT seperated

Are these the Econoline pick-up we're talking about here?? They are kind of quirky but I like 'em!! I saw a couple of them at a car show last year with sbf engines in them, I bet a bbf would be fun. Pretty good weight transfer!!

No Bill I think you are thinking of the mid 60's version like Scooby Doo. They look just like a regular 61/62 Ford or Mercury but the box is part of the cab and they were a unibody truck.

There was a guy who had one in my hometown (maybe still has it) it was Really rare though. It was a mercury M250 unibody. I tried to buy it for a puller body ( i think it be much easier to make a flip body out of one)
He was not interested in selling it. Or maybe just wanted more than i could afford. It was rough and full of junk, but all there. THe body panels were not rotted out though which was surprising, just a lot of dents and dings.

I had forgotten all about it until i read this post. Too bad i just got back last night from visiting the old stomping grounds for the last 3 weeks

Unibody. Uni means only that the cab and the bed are UNIted. They still have a full pu frame like the rest.

there is a site out there for 61-64 or so ford truck owners, i cant remember the name of the site but all site members own one or have owned one or want to own one. cool site.tons of pics.and info on how to build it and where to buy parts.

There is ford-trucks.com for all years and I know of other forums for other years. I'll try finding it.

Is this it?
