Looks like you might need these. These are from the 61-63 shop manual. Hope they help

 

The 1957/63 Ford Truck Parts Catalog is available on a CD from hipoparts.com.

You do not want the individual year parts catalogs (if you can find any), because...they aren't worth two cents.

Ford sent these bound paper catalogs to the dealers every August. These have so many errors and omissions, that when we receved them, they went out the very same day...in the trash.

 

There is no specific ford truck manual for 62. You need the 61 manual and the 62 63 supplement.

Thanks guys, picked up the truck today and discovered it is a '61. VIN F10JN220528.

Can't wait to get started.

How does one decifer the other codes (WB-114, Color-F, Model-F101, Trans-A, Axle-11)?

 

F10 = F100 2WD.

J = 223 1V I-6.

N = Norfolk VA Assembly Plant.

220528 = 1962 ~ Assembled October 1961.

114" Wheelbase.

F = Baffin Blue.

F101 = F100 2WD, 4,200 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

A = Ford 3 Speed Manual Light Duty Transmission.

11 = Ford 9" Rear Axle / 3.70-1 / non Limited Slip / 3,300 lb. Rear Axle Capacity.

Note: If the truck is titled as a 1961, at one time some states registered vehicles in the year they were first sold new, not by the actual model year of the vehicle.

Some states had two designations on their titles: Year Sold & Year Model.

Historically since the 1930's, new vehicle introduction time begins in September of the previous year, so new vehicle assembly begins in late July or August.

 

Thanks for all the info. Where there many/any mechanical changes I should know about between the years '61 and '62?

 

Welcome to the FTE I have a 62 integral (Unibody) as well, mine was painted FM Baffin Blue and Corinthian white, made in June 62. Did all the exterior parts come with the truck? You will most likely have to pull the drums and replace the wheel cylinders, and soft brake lines. The master cylinder may be shot as well. Looks like a beauty of a truck congratulations on the find.

In your guys opinion, which cd rom is better, the Hipo parts or the gear head cafe version? The hipo version covers 57-63 , and the gear head covers only 61-63. The big difference I see is one is 20, and one is $40. Anyone had experiences with these?

Hi STeve, the Parts manual is different than the shop manual. The parts manual is better with disassembly and reassembly....also, if your truck has been 'repaired' by the previous owner(s), it's a great way to check to see how it was originally put together. The repair manual is for step by step shop repairs, like tune ups, brake work, etc., and doesn't always help with the way things are assembled and parts required.

I have both, and have used both. I will note, though, that neither has a good illustration/explanation for the torque box and bed drainage.....something that seems important (see my other post about bed restoration).

 

Thanks Buzz44, I have been looking for these. This site and the people on it are great. (of course they're great, they're Ford Guys)
