Bye bye 61, hello 64. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well a couple months ago I sold my 61 4x4.

But, I have a replacment.

I found a 64 short fleet in Belle Chase, La. in pretty good shape. Plans are to drop it, which i have done already and to drive the crap out of it. A friend of mine (smbrouss70) hooked me up with a ECE 4 6 drop, power brakes and stainless steel brake lines. I bought a power booster bracket from Captainfab, which is awesome! I need a few other things to get it running, but it not to far away from making its maiden voyage! Here are a few pics.

looks cool!
why the change from 4x4 to 2x4?
your 61 turned out nice, I expect this one will turn out great too!

T Smith · 10-23-2011, 07:47 PM

Looking good! Looks like a really solid truck.

Can't believe you sold the 61, that was one fine looking truck!

62 short step · 10-23-2011, 08:21 PM

Thanks guys! Yes my 61 was nice, and hated to let it go. Im just going to say its a a bad economy out there!

I will build another 4x4, it will be much better next time!

You left the sunlight on under your box, might run the battery down! Any more pictures under the hood and interior?

PAPA KENT · 10-23-2011, 10:03 PM

Nice truck!!!!!

**Captainfab** · 10-24-2011, 12:23 AM

Very nice looking truck

I've been wondering when you were going to announce the change in trucks.

Iron-Butt · 10-24-2011, 05:23 AM

Been awhile since I had an update on the 64. Really havent done much to it. Found these wheels on craigslist for a $100, and put some new rubber on them.

**ChiefRocka** · 06-25-2012, 10:08 AM

Nice truck ..... Looks like good score on the wheels !
