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
Got the truck from the second owner. He was an old friend and I am a machanic. He wanted me to put a motor in his 85 Blazer, but he ended up not having the money to pay me for the labor, so he signed over the title to the truck. I drove the truck home and it has been a daily driver for over a year now. The only thing that I have done so far is tune up the engine and replace the master cylinder. Not too bad for an all original 40 year old truck. That just shows that it is true when they say "Built Ford Tough!" — Steve Seitler
