Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Working on trying to score a '64 f100 swb now ... was originally FS @ $2K but he added those foolish mid 90's wheels & now wants $2500.00 ... Won't sell with the skinnies he had prior.

Time is on my side. We shall C.

You did a nice job on the truck Jake, have fun with it.

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Thank you

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

WillieloRidez - that had to hurt letting that uni go. I'm still feeling the pain from mine from three years or so ago!! Wish I had it back too.

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

I have been pondering putting some 20" Mobsteels or 20" 22" Delmo specials on the uni one set cost way more than the other I will let you guess on that lol.

Pic from the rear I need to get the inside of the bed done as soon as the cool snap breaks I will be back on it.

I bought a Canton stock eliminator pan for the 302 I just can't keep the chrome pan from leaking in the front sucks.

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Canton pan - not a bad choice at all. I bet the rails are a bit beefier than the chrome one.

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

I just read through this whole build.... This may be my favorite truck on the board right now! The Mobsteels will really be sweet on this uni! Great work man!!

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

It has a crank scraper and a baffle in the bottom over the pickup tube so should have more oil control.

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Wow Thanks a million there is a lot of great builds on here my fav would be Delmos 65 pickemup build.

I talked to Detroit steel wheel today said they will have hoops back in stock in 3 to 4 weeks and they are drilling and tapping and adding the clips for the poverty caps for 15$ a wheel now.

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Thanks man ford Oxford white on the wheels with the 65 poverty caps they are 3 months out on making 22 in version so I might wait a bit to see what comes of it I like the 20/22 stager deal but I change my mind daily lol.

For now I need to focus on getting the bed done I hope to get some of it done this weekend.

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

I've been thinking about pulling the dash in mine. Do you know if the dash unbolts? I'm thinking I saw some spot welds in there somewhere.

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Don't think it unbolts.

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Got the most rearward box/bracing made.

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Drove the 61 to BurgerKing to get some lunch then trimmed up the bed floor and cut down the other wheel well and cut the floor for them.

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Lookin' good!

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Thank you.

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Worked on my flush fill gas cap.

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Still needs some weld blending ect.

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

What is the flush cap from? I have seen some aftermarket pop up ones. Kicking around gas fill ideas for my 53 Burb.

BTW..I love your truck.
Marc

Re: 61 Ford unibody project

Thank you ,your AD is very nice.

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

It's great to see this old truck coming along. Can't wait till you get the paint job done. Do keep us posted! :)

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Thank you.

I'm never going to paint the truck but I am going to paint the inside of the bed to match as soon as I am done with it.

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

A pic.

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

I thought if you were to repaint it, you would go for the same tone.
But it looks like it can be restored. I think the old color is good, glad you are keeping it that way.

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Back roads.

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
