Roof lines were more squared panels were flatter and the split front grill made its return. Engine options for 1961 included several variations of the 389ci V8. Standard was the 2bbl 3-speed making 215hp or 267hp with the optional Hydramatic or a 230hp "economy" automatic.

However the top dog was the very rare dealer-installed 421ci Super Duty made available near the end of 1961.
