1961 ford f100 unibody longbed

[Rockhopper]

new to fords and new to the whole truck scene, but have been around muscle cars for quite some time. this truck is in very nice shape body wise, not a runner. but it definately needs some help. i want to do a budget build, so i may be on the wrong website for that. but i thought some of you may give me some advice and point me in the right direction. wondering about all the stuff, like best suspenion options, etc. i am pretty good with motors, so that is not an issue. any help is appreciated. :thumbsup:

awesome truck, I wish i had a unibody. I think you have a great starting point. The unibody truck is kinda rare, so keep the body kinda stock when you go to upgrade other stuff. (thats what i would do)

Welcome to the site! I see Washington plates on the truck. What part ? I am north of Everett.
That will make a really cool project. I always liked those unibodies.

truck is for sale

It amazes me how many people never knew this body style existed. We have a unibody project going in my shop.

Good luck with the sale and the project for whoever takes it off you hands.

For sale, damn, I was just about to say toss a 99-04 gen 2 Lightning drivetrain in it and a full AirRide suspension.:thumbsup:
