Good Find! (?)
Y'know how somtimes you just stumble up on a "good deal"? I think I just had that experience. I just got back from looking at a 61 unibody truck. It's a short bed with the wrap around back window and it's also a Custom Cab. It still has the 292 and the oil bath air cleaner. The guy also has another one for parts. I can get it for $400. Think I should get it??

Snap it up! Go original stock on the nice one and hot rod the parts truck. Of course I'm assuming money is no object.
By the way how did you get the little guy doing burnouts in your signature? I think it's cool.

I'm probably gonna gonna hot rod the nice one ,if not both. I didn't get to look the parts truck over really well so I'm not completely sure of it's present condition. There's no way I could part the good one out. I've only seen a couple of these trucks and they were all at the same show (F100 Supernationals). I'm a firm believer in restoring unless it is completely unsalvageable.

And I thought I got a good deal on my truck. Man that thing is sweet for $400. Did the price include the parts truck? BTW it looks to be a 62, 61s had the FORD in the center of the grill, 62s&3s had the FORD between the grill and the hood.

Yup, that price included the parts truck as well. Ya...I forgot to mention it was a 62, not a 61. I was originally told it was a 61 when I started this thread so that's the info I went with.

Sorry Andy, you're a little late. Sold them two weeks ago for $350, a set of replcement rims, and new tires 
The rims are a little rusted, but the tires are new I needed the $$ more then I wanted to get rid of the rims.
