Bringing it home!

My 5yr old son and I have been tinkering with it making it road worthy. It was a nice resto done about 20 years ago by the previous owner. It sat for a while in a garage. So far all new hoses, radiator, t-stat housing, air cleaner, and lots of cleanup. Next up is brakes.

specs:

1961 chevy c10

Its got a rebuilt 283 backed by a TH350

1963 front sheet metal, shaved door handles, and a mild drop.

I need to get the nose down a bit more, but I like how the rear sits. It had bucket seats when I got it, but since have swapped in a factory bench seat. The wheels will be changed out for some steelies with baby moons and some wide whites.

Nice truck! How about some pics of your CRX. I had an 88 that I loved and regret selling it to this day! It got a little better mileage than my 66. lol Besides the 60's and early 70's Japanese cars, the CRX is the only one I think looks good.

Nothing beats the early Chevy cars and trucks but I have always had a soft spot for the crx, I've had 6 of em and every time I've gotten rid of one I just have to find another one to fill the void. lol

I was building a 55 BBW, but I sold it to buy this 61. Funny thing is I work for a Toyota Dealership and when I saw this 61 I knew it was for me because the previous owner had installed a Toyota rear bumper on it! haha Its coming off in favor of a roll pan but I took it as a sign that it was supposed to come home with me!
