1961 Chevrolet C10

1961 Chevrolet C10 Apache shortbed pickup, 327/300 4 speed, fleetside. No option, base model truck. 60 & 61's are very desirable right now with wrap around windshield and 'pods' in the hood front, but this can easily be changed to a 63-66 hood if you prefer that cleaner look. This one is Era correct in so many ways, from the tachometer to the 8 track under the glove box. And- wait until you see what's underhood. An Original (not to this truck)1962 327/300 HP engine & BW 4 speed trans from an Impala(RB code on engine & NOT a truck granny 4 speed). Engine & trans are untouched original from the Carter carb & Delco distributor down to the oil pan, rare correct year valve covers and 2.5' rams horn exhaust manifolds. If you are looking for a truck to slam, and put an LS into then this ISN'T your truck. The engine & trans in this truck are worth as much as the truck itself. That's why I want the good money for it. Still fires right up, and runs well on Premium gas.(factory 10:1 compression) I don't mind patina, but I draw the line at Mold, I gave the truck it's first bath since being stored 25 years ago. I put nice 8' rally wheels on it with good used tires. This truck would look much better if quickly sanded, and put in shiny black primer, it's even fairly straight. Truck was originally Woodlands green. Truck is very solid underneath, including the floors, all supports & mounts. No rot in bed or tailgate, and no signs of bondo. BAD=The bed wood is completely gone, but the strips are there, and the inner bed lips(flanges) are NOT rotted out. Bed floor is an Easy fix with diamond plate or original wood slats are available, but I'll let new owner decide. Left door window is cracked.---- RUST? Bottom inside of both doors, Rt. Fender has rust in heel, and Lt. fender was cut away(damaged), left rocker only & hood is rotted around lower edges. Patch panels are readily available for all of it.Doors: 2
