This 1961 Ford F-100 is a “Unibody” pickup that was acquired by the seller from his uncle out of Nevada in 2014, and was subsequently refurbished with an engine rebuild, a repaint in two-tone turquoise and white, and a refresh of the cabin. The truck is powered by a 223ci inline-six paired with a three-speed manual transmission with overdrive, and features include 15″ chrome-finished wheels, a gray vinyl bench seat, and a Holley carburetor.

This 1961 Ford F-100 is a “Unibody” pickup that was acquired by the seller from his uncle out of Nevada in 2014, and was subsequently refurbished with an engine rebuild, a repaint in two-tone turquoise and white, and a refresh of the cabin. The truck is powered by a 223ci inline-six paired with a three-speed manual transmission with overdrive, and features include 15″ chrome-finished wheels, a gray vinyl bench seat, and a Holley carburetor.
Ford “Unibody” pickups were produced from 1961 through 1963, and incorporated the bed as a continuation of the cab structure. This example was refinished in turquoise and white under current ownership. Features include faired-in taillights, white Ford lettering on the tailgate, and a polished exhaust outlet behind the right rear wheel.
Chrome-finished 15″ wheels wear Performance GT Grand Prix tires. The truck is equipped with drum brakes at all four wheels.
The refreshed cab features a bench seat with textured gray upholstery, vinyl floor covering, and two-tone metal surfaces painted to match the exterior.
A three-spoke steering wheel with a chrome horn ring frames a 100-mph speedometer with inset gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature, while an aftermarket oil pressure readout is mounted beneath the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 38k miles.
The 223ci inline-six is fitted with a Holley carburetor and was rebuilt in March 2015, at which time the gaskets, piston rings, rod bearings, main bearings, and cam bearings were replaced and the block was honed and polished. An oil change was performed in 2020, and the seller notes a leak from the oil canister.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
