I have a 1962 Uni-body short bed with 62000 original miles 4spd on the floor with 488 geared rear end paid 3400.00 bucks

 

I just me a 62 f250 swb unibody straight 6 4spd on the floor 488 rear great shape with 62000 original miles for 3400 bucks

 

does anyone one what 26=for rear end

 

I know where one sits in a private salvage yard. If anyone is interested, pm me and I'll see if he'll what to sell it. It is a long box and is in very restorable condition.

 

does anyone know which rear end is 26 on the vin plate

 

Mines a '62 short wide unibody, 292, AOD transmission, 3.89 rear gears with a Jaguar front clip and sway bar. Low in the front with rather small tires, stock height in the back with rather large tires. Lots of patina, scratches, peeling paint...well, you get the picture. Drives really nice with that front clip.

 

I just bought this 1963 Custom Cab with 8ft bed today for $400. My son's friend's dad had it and it's been sitting since 1983 and he was considering junking it. I couldn't let it go to the crusher, so I bought it. It's missing the engine and transmission so I plan on doing the CV front suspension swap and powering it with a 32V DOHC 4.6L.

 

That's a nice looking uni you have there Eric. Love those big window models. Good to see more unibody trucks getting put back on the road again on this side of the country. (I'm in WV) If you happen to need any parts for it don't hesitate to send me a message and I will see if I can help you out. Lewis

 

Come on Guys. There must be more Uni's finding
a home on here. Post them up. Or post up the work
ya have done on yours.

 

Before

After

 

My 62 f250 before and after her 4wd conversion. She sits on stock 73 f250 springs and axles Dana 44 front Dana 60 rear with 4.10 gears. I pulled the not running 292 and 3 SPD out and installed a 360 fe with an NP 435 and divorced 205 transfer case. She'd been off the road since the early 90s

 

Looks like a fun rig. Welcome to FTE.
Maybe start a build thread on her.

 

anks, it is a fun rig its a total blast to drive and has been an enjoyable build so far. I plan on making her a daily driver in the summer months. I was thinking of starting a build thread on my latest project also a 1962 f250 but factory 4x4.
