I don't recall ever seeing a Ford with a fused bed-cab. The only ones are Rancheros and Chevy El Caminos.

Well, let me set this straight. This is in response to previous posts in this thread regarding Ford unibodies in the 60's.

In 1961, Ford introduced a new styled truck, also know as the unibody, and continued this design up through 1963. In 1964, Ford cut the bed away from the cab again, due to complaints concerning how shifting weight in the bed could cause fatigue with the unibody sheetmetal. 1964 was a real transition year, as it was the only year in which Ford produced the 60's style trucks with a separate bed AND with the old school nostalgic 292 y-block engines running with a 9" rear end. In 1965 through 1966, Ford kept the same body style, but completed revamped the drivetrain, moving into the FE arena, with revolutionary modern style engines, trannies, and differentials. Also, up until 1965, Ford had implemented I-beam straight axles in their trucks. 1965 to 1996 saw the double I-beam design. 1966 was the last of the "slick 60's" years.

I own a 1964 F100, that's why I know.
