Hi All New here and thanks in advance. Looking for frame dimensions for 1961 Ford F100 Frame. This Truck has been damaged many times and looks like front id pushed up.I have a body sho and a frame machine but not older frame charts. Thanks again.

 

Didn't find '61, but '64 should be pretty similar, other than the LWB chassis WB being 128" vs '61 being 122" Both years are straight axle, both years had I-6's or Y-block V8....besides wheelbase, the other difference that comes to mind is '61-'63 had three bolt bumpers, while '64 was first year of two bolt bumpers....

**there are people selling frame diagrams on ebay

James thank you for the Frame dimemensions, But still looking for the height or datum measurements. Looks like both front rails are pushed up. I don't have any sheet metal to check this out. Doing the truck for another shop who is repairing it. Thank you again

 

Tommie: Well, I guess EBAY may be your best option, a quick look didn't bring up any listings for 1961, but did find listings for 1963/64....

.........but even with Frame Charts, I'd be a lot more comfortable sending it out the door AFTER having test fit the front clip. If the horns are a wee bit low, things can be shimmed, but if they're a wee bit high, it's not so easy. (former A/B Mechanic from 1979-1990)
