1961 Body Info Needed
I have been doing a lot of research on these trucks the last week or so, and though I am getting a lot of info, what I really want to know, I can't find.
This is just in regards to F100 Bed styles.
Here's what I am finding out. If it's wrong, please chime in and let me know.
1961 was the first year of this bodystyle.
1961-63 offered the Unibody style truck.
Mid-63, they stopped the unibody and went back to the standard cab/bed design, and used the 57-60 bed on those trucks.
Step side trucks were also offered through this bodystyle run.
1964 brought along the new bed, etc.
That's about the extent of what I know.
The questions I have:
Was a shortbed fleetside offered in 61-63?
If not, am I correct in assuming my 61 was originally a stepside? (it currently has a 64 fleetside bed on it.)

Nothing on the Warranty Plate decodes to back of cab equipment.
In 1961 with the 114" wheelbase it could have been.
Platform
Chassis and Cab
Flareside
Styleside - Unibody, which yours isn't.

The fleetside is Chevrolets flavor of Fords styleside.
