Cruising around craigslist a few weeks ago I stumbled into an interesting truck, a '61 F100 Uni-body 4x. The engine is a '64 292 V8 with a BW 4spd and a Spicer-Dana 2spd transfer case. I determined that the engine was a '64 because it has a factory style PCV and there is no crank case vent hole in the lower left front of the block. The PCV is installed into a hole in the rear of the valley cover with the "tea kettle" type of fitting..
I know that Ford did not make a 4x Uni-body in '61-62, the 4x's of '61-62 generally have a step side bed or the '57-60 fleet-side. Who ever did the conversion on this truck knew what they were going. Everything is as it should be with the exception of the re-enforcing gussets in the rear cab corners and the spring mounted front clip.
I have read that Ford did not make '61-62 Uni-body 4x's because the body-bed could not flex which resulted in the doors flying open during off road use.
