Hey, I just found a 1961 or 1962 F100 unibody 2wd shortbox that might be for sale. What are the pro's/con's to something like this. I think it looks cool with the one piece design and it doesn't have that "wrong bed". It is a little rough here and there but there is no major cancer. The truck originally came with an inline, but the current owner now has a 292 with a granny four speed. What is something like this worth versues...say....a 1966 F100 2wd shortbox ( something I own as well)?

I think the "wrong bend" refers to the bodyline on the door. Value it for what it is...a 45 year old truck that has a different engine than it was born with. Now that you have perspective let the haggling begin. The formula I use is ....comparable price/personal desire x need to have it - cost to fix it.
