Ford F-100 - 4th Gen (1961 to 1966)

The Ford F-100 was a light duty variant of the 4th Gen F-Series that debuted for the 1961 model year. The F-100 was a 1/2-ton pickup that was offered in a single cab body style with short or long truck beds. These truck beds were available with the sleek Styleside bed sides, or the fendered Flareside bed sides. Over the course of production, these trucks were offered with a standard inline six engine, or an optional V8. Depending on the year, displacement for these engines ranged from 223ci to 300ci for the inline six, and 292ci to 352ci for the V8. These engines were paired to manual or automatic transmissions, which depending on configuration, would send drive to the rear wheels or all four wheels. A notable offering for the 4th Gen was the Camper Special, which featured strengthened components in order to accomodate slide-in campers. Production of the 4th Gen Ford F-100 ended in 1966, when it was replaced by the 5th Gen F-100.
