Slick 60's

I have had this in storage for 8 years now, bought it for $1000.

1961 F100 4x4
Shortbed
Flareside
Custom Cab
Manual Transmission
6 Banger


The truck is awesome and I can't wait to fix it up. I plan on modifying it slightly, I want a truck that I want to drive all the time. Im not a big fan of the flareside, I may trade the bed for a styleside bed.

I have been looking through a lot of posts and listings, not too many 61 4x4's out there (roughly 2400 produced). Anyone have production numbers of the Short bed Custom cab?

I think the bumpers may have been transplanted. They dont line up with the body lines and I have not seen any trucks of this year with these bumpers. Does anyone know if the 4x4's came with different bumpers?

sounds like a great project!

Welcome to the 4x4 club from West Virginia and boy does that look nice.... I wish mine would have started that sweeeeet!!!!!

from down here!, I agree!, the style side does look better!, but don`t tell anyone I said that!

Hi from Washington State. That front bumper was added on later its not original. Good luck on your restoration.

And if you really wanted to go wide with tires, you can get fiberglass Flareside fenders that are 3" wider than stock.

nice truck.the front bumper looks lice a late 70's to mid 80's chevy p/u bumper.
