Another one followed me home.. 1961 Apache short fleet

[**grumpy**]

I just can't walk away from these damn things....

I took this in on trade a few days ago.

350/700R4
Bagged
No notch yet and no drop spindles yet.
I threw a set of 15x6 and 15x8 steelies on it, and tired to clean it alittle. Poor truck was filthy...lol

It got set down on a boulder and smashed drivers rocker, and must of backed into something on passenger rear bedside, so needs some TLC.

My 16yr old is happy to do another one this winter. BUT no deadlines like the last one. 12wks was unreasonable..although it was done in 15....

My buddy said we must be running a C10 rescue....lol
But at least the leave us in much better shape than they arrive. We're not on same playing field as Delmo, Dino and many others here, but we do what we can....

I'm going to sell the hood and likely the grille. I just don't like the 60-62 hoods. I know many here do, but I just don't.
And I'm torn about the grille. Its in decent shape with decent chrome but not a fan of quad headlights on these. So it may go too.
I'm gonna look for a 63-66 hood and a painted 64-66 grille.
Otherwise, gonna drive it for a few days then blow it apart for makeover.
Stay tuned.
