1961 Apache

Picked up this little ‘61 Chevy. Right now it sits with a v8 (haven’t checked the numbers yet), 4 spd(with a bad clutch) and no brakes. Body is pretty decent, minus the lack of bed floor. Future plans include, mild 350 with a new clutch. Redo all the drum brakes. Drive it and decide what else to do with it...

I'm pretty sure those are early s10 hubcaps that someone stripped and polished. I like them. Your truck looks great!
