Split Unibody on 4x4 frame

[BH_CustomTrucks]

The owner isn't sure of it's beginnings...but to my knowledge...no 4x4 uni's and no split uni's in the United States...right?

It is a pice meal deal.
That used bed, that used cab and chassis, those small opening front fenders. Etc.
There is nothing wrong with that, as long as the buyer understands, it's an assemblage of parts nothing the Ford factory put together. The US DSO says not from Argentina and not for export not for government. 44xxxx Twin Citys district.

Im sympathetic to what it is. I think it's a beautiful build. But notice the lack of detailed shots of front bed area. The cut edges would give away the home built origin's.
We have a member who built a similar split uni 4x4, I like every one of these I have seen.
I would own one like it, not for that price, without a LOT more inspection of condition, build fit & finish.... Good luck on the sale.

Looks like a regular 3/4 4x4 , with a unibody box bolted on
The f250 4x4 came with either big or small fender openings ....
Kinda neat... but just a build in somebody's garage

I agree. If the front edge of the bed is finished well it could be a nice looking truck. It would need uni doors though to get the line right. Or, pull the bed and replace with a flareside to restore correct.

I agree with the look at it in person way of buying these trucks. The lines do not match up which tells me that they got the spacing blocks wrong on the bed but other than that it appears to be well made. close ups of the bed ends a must as stated but there are a whole lot of problem areas that are not shown and the price is a bit steep to those who think Rawlins is a fool, and/or have owned them for awhile.

A couple things stand out when I look at the front end. 1961s to 1964s had three bolts holding on the front bumper. 1965s and 1966s have two. This bumper has two. The lower valance appears to be of the 4x2 type, the flat type. 4x4s and F350s have the vertical lower valance (with the usual 66 F100 4x4 exceptions). So yes, as the previous posts said, its a hodgepodge. Still it's good to see any Slick 4x4 still around.

I don't have my books, but I'd like to decode the vin. The grille is a 64, but it could be the year it was first registered deal. I do see a 4 spoke steering wheel and the transfer case looks correct. I'd like to see the frame number and measure the wheelbase to see if it's 120 inches.

I don't like to pick other's vehicles apart, but if you are selling it as an extremely collectible rig.......

Stress break has me logging in here. My 2 cents say that the 63 truck is in fact sporting a 64 grill. The cab roof is also high so therefore 64-66 F250 4x4, F350 or just a plain old 64. Sequential number 381333 will indicate the month and year it was built. Me thinks that it was made in the fall of 63 and if it was delivered before January 1st 64 the local DMV would have called it a 63 even though it was made as a 64 model year. Un uni box could have been shipped up from down south or who knows maybe it was special ordered that way but I doubt it. F26 suggests factory 4x4. Rear bumper well... The truck is neat but could use some shimming of the body panels.

I like it except for the rear bumper. Too big and doesn't fit the character of the truck. Just my opinion.
