Re: Help 61 apache 4x4 lwb stepside

That seems like a good find. Here in so-cal they're out and about. New for 1960 was a new designation system for trucks made by GM. Gone were the 3100, 3200, and 3600 designations for short 1/2, long 1/2 and 3/4-ton models. Instead, a new scheme assigned a 10, 20, or 30 for 1/2, 3/4, and 1-ton models. Actual badging on Chevrolet trucks carried the series name system from the previous generation for 1960 and 1961: the 10, 20, 30, and 40 series, C and K, were badged as "Apaches", 50 and 60 series trucks were badged as "Vikings", and the largest 70 and 80 series models were marked "Spartans". The '67-'72 were named the "Action Line".
But my biggest thing is can you buy restoration parts?? <<That right there would make my decision.
