1961 Ford F-100 short bed unibody truck

Description for Ford F-100 1961

1961 Ford F-100 unibody. short bed truck. Rare first year short bed version of Ford's innovative unibody truck. Original mint green was a one year only feature on this neat old truck and it now has a wonderful patina. It was a 292 V8 to begin with. but this has since been replaced with a rebuilt 1961 223 6 cylinder. The stock 3-speed works well and the truck drives great. for a 50+ year old truck! turns heads at every gas station! Sand blasted rims with new tires. As can be seen in the pictures. the body is very straight and rust free though it could use a cab mount replacement. Doors do open and close well. cab floors are very good with no rot or rot in the door wells but underneath. . (Note: truck is parked on a slope and accumulates water in the drivers side door well. hence black POR-15). Inside the bed does have rust through but I will include a replacement 1961 bed floor to repair this damage. Original tailgate works fine but has rust in both lower corners. Inside the truck. the seat has been restored with new stuffing and fabric and a new rubber floor mat. Door glass winds up and down. locks work. lights and heater work and a new windshield and seal have been installed with a new rear seal too. Ready to use. drive home. restore or restomod. Clear KS title. Buyer to arrange all shipping. I can keep the truck for up to a week after the sale.
