Taillights, wiper motor and switch sold.

I’m sorry but I am not seeing an email from you anywhere.

I purchased a 1961 “Wrong Bed” short box 7 years ago that I planned on resto-modding. Was never able to give it my full attention and am now looking to part it out. I am located in Fargo, ND and would be willing to ship any smaller parts I may have but when it comes to the sheet metal, it’s pickup o...

I found some small rectangular nut plates that are normally riveted into place. Ground them down to the right size and welded them flush into place. Worked perfectly.

I didn't realize when I was looking through your build a month ago that you are the other Slick owner here in Fargo. I'm just finishing my CV front end install on my '61. I'm definately going to have to come by and check yours out some time.

As for pictures. Don't worry everybody. Once I start tearing down the pictures will start coming. I think I convinced the girlfriend to just stand around and snap pictures for me so I don't have to interupt my work to do it. All I had to do was build her a house. If doing that keeps her from getting...

I ended up finding a short bed for only $800. Thank you everyone for the kind words and info. I've ended up on the fence about trying to do solid side windows or not.

Iceman,

I actually spent some time last night reading through your threads and seeing the repairs you made to the leading edge of your hood, was convinced that that is the route I'm going to take since my hood has the same issue.

Just so everyone knows. I have not started my rebuild yet. I have done a lot of research and one common theme in all rebuilds is to have everything planned out BEFORE you start. That's the stage I am at. These are my plans as of right now and I am pretty solid on all of these decisions with maybe so...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I suppose I spoke too soon about the bed situation as today I went to my local salvage yard and found 3 '61-'66 slicks with the "wrong bed". I was under the assumption that one of the previous owners changed out the flareside bed for an older style but now ...

This is the first time I've ever posted on a forum before so please take it easy on me everybody. I recently purchased a 1961 F100 and I have a suspicion that it currently has the wrong style bed on it. I was under the impression that '61's came in styleside unibodies and separated flareside beds. M...
