The ones with the rear doors suicided are sweet. That's a cool touch.

Uni-Body...no. The cab and the bed welded and smoothed out...Yes. uni-bodys have NO frame under them, that truck still does meaning its not a unibody. im not hating, just have years of collision work under my belt and picky about that stuff. who ever built that truck did an amazing job.

Ford used to have a truck in the 60's that they called a unibody. I think it had a frame under it, but the bed and cab were together. That may be where he was getting the lingo from.

exactly, and yes it did have a frame i also have years of collision work under my belt and am not talking about the subframe cars i'm talking about a truck that the bed is made to the cab.

i did some digging and found some more pics. they seem to be made by Stageway, who was responsible for many of the 60's railroad crew cabs. I just know that Phillips Petroleum had 8 or 10 of these at a time and ran several times a day up and down US 75 to and from the Tulsa Airport. they ran them to 300K or so. i knew of a guy who bought one in the late 80s. i remember them being two tone blue. love to find one

They were built in Ft Smith, AR if I remember correctly. There was a thread about them a while back. Bigblock73 had some info on his website, but I can't find it now.
