Just to give u guys an idea on how much I LOVE my 61. I sold both of these last week and never thought about selling the 61!! Before and after pics.

Re: 1961 Chevy Apache My Beater
Funny that.
Selling and not selling cars. My 66 C10, despite being in bits is not for sale, but I maintain that I am not attached to my toys. My Blazer is for sale at the moment as I have seen another interesting car. |

More FUN in the 61!! I have been working on assembling my longblock for my vw fastback. I was able to bring the engine home last Saturday, in style!! The truck ran like a champ despite the Heat. A good 45 miles round trip.

Re: 1961 Chevy Apache My Beater
Great pics. of your truck in action. Very cool even in your heat.

Progress. Time for a rear end swap. Excited to get the rear 5 spoke wheels on the truck. My truck has a 3:90 rear in it. Figured since I was changing rear might as well get a better rear ratio. I look in glove box for factory code sticker. I pulled rear cover to verify. I just learned that the Ring gear has a stamp on to verify ratio.

Really happy with the reader end swap. 3.90 rear gear to a 3.42 made a big difference.

Re: 1961 Chevy Apache My Beater
Missed the last update as I was busy with dealing with life.
Your truck and attention to detail makes me grin here. Looking good working. |
