About the 1961–1966 Ford F-100
from the generation archive
The 1961–1966 Unibody-era F-100 stands out as one of Ford's boldest truck designs, and the builds here prove these trucks are far from forgotten. From a worn steering wheel and striped bench seat in a '63 to the chrome hubcaps and red rims on a black '66, you'll find real-world interiors, undercarriage details, engine bays with hoods propped open at shows, and patina-rich survivors still wearing their original dashboards.
The story
I bought this from a guy up the street. I watched everyday until he put this up for sale. Pushed it home for $250.00 in bone stock condition with multi color and rust throughout. I bought new wires and plugs and cleaned out the rust from the gas tank, and the fuel line was plugged, installed a fuel filter, and new all terrain TA radials with white spokers. It was a daily 140 mile driver after that.After a year of so the freeze plugs started leaking badly, then the power loss was so bad it couldent remain at speed on a grade at 40 MPH.
Then the clutch gave out . That was the final straw!!
I parked it in my back yard, and proceeded to scrap the engineand start the 2 year make over process. — Dean Porter
