A buddy and I bought this today, couldn't beat it for the price, not sure what to do with it right now.

1961 Ford F700

I love those old medium duty rigs. Reminds me a lot of my childhood. Dad ran C60 and C65 Chevy/GMC's as well as 900 series Fords. Cool truck!

LS swap with an S475 with the stock cam with a 4L80 or 4L85 and tow a car trailer or use as a stump puller. Find a rear axle -I'd recommend a 14 bolt rear axle and find adapters to run a 16-18" wheel on the front. Then clean body and clear coat the current exterior patina. The interior??? I'll leave that to your imagination.

That thing is dying to have a repop stepside bed put on it. Just be careful around those rims and tires, split rims have killed more than a few people over the years.

LS swap was the first thought BUT at this point basic clean up and hopefully successful removal of the crappy black paint. It does start and drive but is missing the radiator and battery, bought it from these pics, my buddy that works for the show. Actually thinking of 22" Alcoa's. Really need to look at the market to see if we can work it over and flip it.

Hoping they aren't the split, just the stupid Dayton style. We are actually thinking nice oak stake bed if we rehab it but we were kicking around chopping the frame for a short step bed.
