Nice W100. 61's are hard to find especially 4wd and short bed. What engine are you running?

its got the 225, I think its later like a 66 but everything else is original. It actually had the stock 19.5 rims (which i still have) but I cant find decent tires in that size so I went with the ford rims and super lugs. yeah, I am guessing there were not too many of these made in 1961, especially in this configuration and even less that are still around these days.....

Some of the parts are exclusive and one year only on the 61's. But that's what makes it a challenge. Your truck looks great!

love that truck. goodyear makes a really aggressive 8R 19.5 but if you want to do any off roading the 16.5, 17.5, and 19.5 are not good trail tires. the bead is samll so you can t air down much and they dont get good grip with the short no flex sidewalls on the 17.5 and 19.5. those two size do last for ever on the pavement though.
