Nice work! I dig those old Ford Unibodys.

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

I always liked those unibodies. I met my wife in 1964 and she was driving her dad's 61 dark blue unibody. Wish I'd have gotten it from him.

I go back and fourth on the wheels I am leaning more toward the restro mod look lately and thinking some 20 x9.5 rear and 20x8.5 front mb old schools.the motor will look and sound with the flowmaster 10s more restro mod but will be carbureted.

Small progress wanted to put everything together on the motor so there no hiccups later.Put the water pump alt damper and pulleys on block will be painted the color of the truck after its rebuilt.

Never mind the water pump pulley bolts they will be changed out.And I have a Chevy style msd cap coming for the dizy to get rid of the ugly huge cap that's on it now.

That's a pretty rust free truck. Are you going to leave the torque box like that ?

Mine has serious rust in the torque box. It needs to be rebuilt. I set mine a Crown Victoria frame w/4.6L

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

The torque box has been re boxed as well as everything I cut out and the torque box has a raised section so the drive shaft will clear.

I have not done much to the bed at this point other than cutting it out where I had to it will get a full floor and side panels ect further down the road.

Also the truck was pretty rusty both steps were rotted out and the driver and passenger side floor where the body mounts mount were gone. Also the back floor seat mounts had to be fixed they were rusted out.pic is kinda crappy.

Chev style cap on the msd dizy.Now it's really time to take the motor and trans black out to sand paint the fire wall.

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Looks to be in great shape with good patina. Nice find.

A friend of mine bought one recently and then saw one in a yard. That one he was able to haul off for free. Unfortunately both are quite rusty.

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
