Time to put the fresh 223 back in the Uni!

Rebuilding a 223 as well. Didn't want to swap for a larger engine. The 223 is a great engine.

That little six was so much fun to drive that I couldn't bring myself to swap it out.

Thought the knock was coming from the main and rod bearings......not so! Here are the bushings out of the small end of the rods #3 and #4. http://i879.photobucket.com/albums/ab353/DGCURRIER/61%20F100%20Unibody%20SB/20160207_170141_zpsibbtov8z.jpg Engine back from machine shop http://i879.photobucket...

Well the 223 started knocking (actually been doing this for a while), so I took the opportunity of the winter months to pull it for a rebuild. Love that little six! Don't want to swap in a V8. The 223 was a lower end nightmare. Crank is 10-10 with std bearings on the rods and 10 on the mains. No clu...

Not sure if this has been posted before.....Nice!

Been a while since I have posted. Got caught up in another project. Finally am putting the small details on the 61 uni. Did the pinstripe yesterday. http://i879.photobucket.com/albums/ab353/DGCURRIER/61%20F100%20Unibody%20SB/20141014_165618_zpsadd7eb49.jpg http://i879.photobucket.com/albums/ab353/DG...

Welcome from Your neighbor in Boise Idaho!

She is pretty much done now. Just the headliner and a couple of door seals to go. Saw these on another members Slick and had to have them. http://i879.photobucket.com/albums/ab353/DGCURRIER/61%20F100%20Unibody%20SB/20140320_170346_zps81a1fda0.jpg http://i879.photobucket.com/albums/ab353/DGCURRIER/61...

Where did you get the eyebrows for the head lights......and it looks like red dots in them from the pictures??????

GREAT Truck!!!!

Got them today and they fit like a glove. http://i879.photobucket.com/albums/ab353/DGCURRIER/61%20F100%20Unibody%20SB/20140303_145353-Copy_zps53e9808e.jpg...

Let us know how it works in the summer when it gets over 100 degrees. I was very proud of my headliner until summer came. It was PVC sheet. Hope yours works better than pvc did. Bummer on the Macs headliner. I like the look of them best, but am aware of the PRICE! +shipping and the brittleness. Sur...

OK So I purchased a headliner from Mac's for my Uni $150. Didn't fit for s**t. Bought the perforated one. While pushing it up where it belonged it broke in several places. It is so brittle that just bumping it in the door jam broke it in a few places. Yes I was pissed. Took a while to calm down, sto...

Awesome project! Great build posts. Can't wait to see it done.

I own an auto repair business. http://www.roostersauto.com The truck is parked in one of the lube bays. That is a catch net so some moron wont fall in the pit.

I hate it when that happens!

Just ordered them. Thanx

P.S. Have I said how much I like this forum lately?

Does anyone have pictures of their rear bumper brackets for a Uni? This is the standard type bumper with the license plate cut out. Would like to see what they look like both on and off the truck. I have tried to find some but it looks like I might have to make them. If anyone has some for sale I wo...
