I believe "unibody" was the term describing the cab/bed combination.

If the cab and bed are one peice then it is one of the rare unibody f-100s made from 61-63. I would think it's too much trouble too put another frame under it. Whats wrong with using the frame it has?

I would asume the frame is similar to the reg truck frame of the same years, I could be wrong tho.
