61-63 Unibodys

Hi Robert. I have a 1963 Uni-body long bed. I am currently fixing it up quite a bit after the motor spun a bearing a year and a half ago. The motor is just fine though, the crank was turned, I bought a new rod(that was the hardest thing to find), bearing kit, etc. The only thing I couldn't find anymore is a camshaft. That is what is limiting the build up of the motor. I am currently looking at getting the original cam reground through a machine shop. BTW, it is a 262 I-6 and has a 3spd. trans with a 9 inch rear and 3.89 gears. It is a fun truck to drive and handles like a car, just as Ford intended. I will get back to you on the VIN and pics of the truck. It is currently in primer right now and will be restored to original condition with the exception of thr paint. It was two tone with a cream and aqua. GAG! I am going with either red/white or blue/white. Talk to ya later.
