1961 Ford F-100

Description

1961 Ford F-100 Unibody. The truck is bagged on the original chassis with a crown Vic front set-up. The Patina paint was clear coated to preserve it and "it looks great", is in great condition. The "white" pictures are from before its transformation into a patina truck.
Amazing add to the TRUCK
- Engine & Drivetrain - 4.6 out of 03 Grand Marquis w/ stock transmission. Trans had a fresh rebuild before going in the truck. Some basic mods to the motor to give it a little boost - air cooled set-up, auto-tuning, all seals and plugs upgraded. Dual fan set-up for the radiator.
- Chassis - 1961 chassis, crown VIC set-up
- Rear is a parallel four-link with watts link, bags are on the lower bars, and upper bars are outside the frame rails
- Rear end is an 8.8 from a Mustang GT
- Air management is 2 Viair 444 compressors, 2 three-gallon tanks, old school Master Image Customs manual valves - fantastic set-up.
- Exhaust system is mid-length headers for 99-03 Mustang, with x pipe and two cherry bomb straight through mufflers
- Fuel system is a Jeep Cherokee tank, with a 360 LPH pump in the sending unit, and a corvette-style regulator, pumped using an LS-style filter/regulator, and all AN lines and fittings
Suspension
- -The front cross member is from the same 2003 Grand Marquis, it’s been bagged using 7” diameter bags for maximum lift.
Tires and Rims

-The rear suspension is a parallel four-link with 7” bags and shocks mounted on the lower bars for maximum lift and a comfortable ride
-The rear is centered with a custom-made watts link
-Air Management is twin viair 444 compressors, twin three-gallon aluminum tanks, and Master Image Custom manual switches with built-in gauges
Exterior
- the original color was a light blue and at some point, someone did a white paint job over that. So everything is somewhere in between those. The bed sheet metal is C10 and is raised with a section that hinges so the suspension and fuel system can be accessed. Added custom read bed door handles, diamond plate "see the video", and the list continues.
- The bed floor has been raised to accommodate the frame notch and the center section raises up to allow access to service the fuel system, rear end, suspension, etc…Even has its own Ford bottle opener mounted on the side.
Interior

- Has pro-am seats for comfort and ride
- the interior is mostly stock with trans tunnel raised to accommodate larger transmission and 3” z
- Has a B&M Gear shifter
Stereo and Lighting Set-up
- Pioneer Stereo set-up with 2 AMPS, mid-range speakers, tweeters, and powerful sub-bass box - this set-up rocks.
