Parting out ‘61 project truck.
Posted: May 19, 2018, 9:23 am
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 only. I wish I could list everything I have and post pics but that would become way too laborsome since the entire truck is in pieces on my garage floor. It’s easier to say what I don’t have...... I don’t have any factory wiring or electronics. No factory front suspension. No factory powertrain. And not even the factory “Wrong” short bed. I do however have a VERY clean 1964-66 styleside short bed that I intended to use on the build. I have a solid cab with no roof (but do have a donor cab with a good roof cap). I’ve got a clean title with the matching glovebox door w/identification plate still attached. I also have the foot well trim and upper headliner trim. Both have been blasted and powder coated flat black though. I have 1 exterior mirror that has been blasted and powder coated gloss black. The exterior door handles and wiper arms/pivots have also been blasted and powdercoated gloss black. I changed the wiper motor for a later model motor and have the corresponding switch to operate the wipers with intermittent speeds. I also heavily modified a ‘91 Bronco steering column with tilt and key on column to mount in factory location and enter the engine bay in the stock location but it hase been changed over to push button start (all electronics would be included with that). The last thing i’ll list is I have fully refurbished taillight buckets (with reverse lights) and refurbished taillight lenses w/ gloss black powdercoated taillight bezels. I know that not everything I have is going to interest everyone but I am at the point that I want this stuff out of my garage and rather than scrap it I am hoping someone out there would be interested. I will do my best to answer any questions you all have and am willing to send specific requested pics by email. I’m also not opposed to texts or phone calls. So there you go everyone, I’m sure I left out a boatload of information but let’s do our best to get these parts out to people who will actually use them. Thanks.
