The Unibody does come to mind, but for something this rapidly-produced, I'm betting on a variant of the '60. Unless, of course, we get something completely out of left field, like a similar-vintage Dodge or International, done to the simplified kit/high-detail modern mould model we're seeing now.

There may well be something to that eventually, given the provocative wording used in Mr Boyd's unibody wip thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Unlike the '61-'63 unibody's, the '57-'60 are much easier to kit bash into stepsides, 4x4's and even 1 tons. The 1 ton version's open up a whole new realm of possibilities. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I've been looking online L.A.M.F. for the images I'd seen at one time of a F100 Unibody which was employed by either Caltrans or one of their contract companies. There's an image of one parked on the Arroyo Seco Parkway/ Pasadena Freeway (then, S.R. 11 / US 66, present day S.R. 110) with its ostensible operator installing 'ArmCo Railing' (the wood-post-aluminium-beams arrangement which started appearing in c.1963 in the medians of Parkways and Freeways, eta. I'm going to keep searching ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm betting on how you can fit a lot of Coca-Cola cases and coolers into that '60 long bed . 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, the fizz bizz is good money. And you are probably not wrong at some point along the line. Charlie Larkin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 The resurrection of the '60 kit has an extra added bonus, the kit bashing factor, the bed could be used to build a very accurate '65 F 100 4x4 or a '65-'66 F 250 4x4. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
