Hmm... Interesting find

Having not seen this truck in person and because I have no affiliation with the seller, I can't speak for the quality of the work. It is still an interesting build...

62 FORD F100

Oh NO! Not that thing again. I guess one can admire the craftsmanship, but to me that's just UGLY!

If a person took it and un f'ed it it would be sweet. Take the ugly trim off, put the right quarter panels on it, shave or straighten the drip rail, and reshape the rear windows...then It might be good to go...

Really? Those step side quarters are the right ones? Um...NO It should have the Uni quarters, since it's a unibody....

You've mis-read what Don typed.

Don (camperspecial65) said it has the right (correct) integral bodied (aka Unit-Body aka Uni) quarter panels.

Stylesides have quarter panels, Flaresides have bed sides.

Yeah, what I said, it needs the right quarter panels, as in correct, which would be uni quarter panels, like it had from the factory...

Uni

Some of you guys are arguing about terminology. The truck has Uni quarter panels with Flareside fenders grafted ON to them. The wheel arches on the Uni quarter panel have probably been cut out for tire clearance. To put it back to original you would have to remove the flareside fenders and put a Uni wheel arch back on them. Concept of truck is good execution is poor. Look at one of the South American trucks which had a uni crew cab style body but regular overall length of a standard truck and a real short bed.
