im looking at another unibody like I need another truck but it's a 62lwb 292 4 speed really clean rust free Nevada truck runs and drives for 1000 bux think that's a good deal?

 

Sounds good, especially the rust free part! Double check the cab mounts and floors from underneath.

 

I did looks as solid as mine is zero rot just a plain nice truck

 

At the very least you could flip it and make some fast cash with the way it sounds. Byw you do need another truck

 

I could use another truck who couldn't lol

 

I have a rust free 62 swb unibody, straight 6, all original and I just turned down $3500 for it. I think you could make some $ on it.

 

ok so I bought it couldn't afford to leave it behind drives so good looks good hell even the wife loves it and she hates my 61 go figure and what kind of truck dont come with door locks ? lol but here is the vin tag if someone would be so kind to decode. f10cr310327. wb122 color f model f100 trans a axle 11 gvrw 5000 net hp 135 @3500 rpm dso 71

I find it weird it came with no door locks no provision in the door

 

Nothing weird about it, t'was the way things worked back then. There should be a R/S door lock cylinder.

Custom Cabs came with R/L door lock cylinders, Standard Cabs only came with a right door lock cylinder as standard equipment, left side was optional.

For decades, people locked the left door (all automakers cars & trucks) from the inside, then slide over the seat, got out, locked the right door using the provided lock cylinder.

Why? Because many streets did not have painted dividing lines, traffic was chaotic with people weaving in/out. So...automakers didn't want people standing out in the street locking/unlocking left doors.

 

it don't have a right one either never seen a car or truck with out just thought it was funny lol it's weird to compare my two trucks there completely diffrent my 61 is loaded in comparison to the 62

 

It should have the right side lock cylinder as all vehicles did from the 19teens thru the 1940's. If it doesn't, someone removed it, filled in the hole.

Early vehicles had no doors..at all. Model T's had an impression of a left door in the sheet metal. By the 1920's, had both front doors, but only the right door had a lock cylinder

1951 "Deluxe 5 Star" cabs were the first Ford trucks to come with both R & L lock cylinders as standard equipment. Ford changed the name Deluxe in 1955 to Custom.

I don't recall if it was 1963 or 1964 that Standard Cabs came with both...as standard equipment. I know 1965's had both, cuz I bought a 1965 F100 8' Styleside Standard Cab...brand new in March 1965.

It seems awkward, but whenever you "insert a picture" to one of these threads, the forum is looking for the picture somewhere on the web (which is always available) rather than from somewhere on your hard drive (which isn't always available).

Go to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and sign up for a free account. Then create an album for your truck. Upload any pics you want to post on FTE to that album. Have this album open on your computer when you want to post pics on FTE.

While you're making a post on FTE, select the pic you want to post from your Photobucket album. When the large version of the pic is open, right mouse click on it and select "View Image Info". The image info will be highlighted and will look something like this:
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...ghtsafter1.jpg

Copy that highlighted info (right click / copy).

When you have the spot in your post where you want the pic to be placed, select the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the post (looks like a mountain) and paste (right click / paste) the image info you copied in the highlighted box (just shows "http://" when it opens).

Your pic will be placed in the post.

Hope that helps.
