In 1960 Ford launched the fourth generation of their flagship F-Series truck. This would also be the year that Ford would introduce the unibody to the F-Series. The plan was that by having the cab and box being one continuous piece they could streamline the assembly process from stamping to welding to the paint shop. While the process did work and would result in cost savings it was not well received by the consumer and was dropped midway through the fourth generations six year run.
1962 would be the last full year the unibody F-100 was produced and this restored Barrett-Jackson vet is a perfect example of a unibody truck. Known as “Red Rocket” the F-100 is powered by a 468ci big-block V8, has power steering and disc brakes. Additionally, this ’62 features Flowmaster exhaust and Ridler Pro-Touring wheels.
