1961 Ford F-100 Unibody Restomod

This 1961 Ford F-100 Unibody combines the rare, short-lived integrated cab-and-bed design with an extensive restomod build focused on preserving character while adding modern drivability. Originally a rust-free California farm truck, it retains its authentic patina beneath multiple coats of matte clear and benefits from substantial mechanical and cosmetic upgrades. The result is a distinctive, well-sorted classic pickup with documented history, strong road manners, and standout presentation.
