61 Chevy Apache C30 Project: update 4, windshield...

Apache809 · 03-02-2014, 05:01 PM

Looks like im gonna have to sell it. Sad to let it go but I don't have the space nor money to do all I would like to do to it. Posting it in craigslist now. PM me if interested.

spacedebris · 03-02-2014, 06:09 PM

sorry you have to let it go. Wish I had the money/space to take it myself. I'd jump at it in a heartbeat. But first I have to find a new job.

blazer-k5 · 03-02-2014, 09:55 PM

Oh man its leaving...at least there is 2 that i know of now...

WhippinSaw · 03-03-2014, 12:07 PM

At least we got to see it. Thanks for posting, hope you find it a good home.

markeb01 · 03-03-2014, 12:16 PM

I'd say it's rare. The last time I saw a 9' step side was back around 63-65. it belonged to a utility company that parked in front of our house. Don't know what chassis it sat on, but the wheels and tires were really tall on it.

rambler · 03-03-2014, 12:42 PM

just found this thread,, and sorry to hear it has to go. please tell the future owner about this site so we can follow the restoration.. (thanks for the videos. enjoyed them )

Apache809 · 03-04-2014, 12:16 AM

Im gonna do a little bit of the body work tomorrow. I do still own it.

61' longbeds are extinct. Haven't see another one.. I See lots of 63, 64, 65... 61 was first year for this c30 with 1 ton and 9foot bed. Im not sure what happened but not many exist. Online that is.

ChevyTruckGuy · 03-07-2014, 03:40 AM

That truck is awesome looking!

blazer-k5 · 03-07-2014, 03:45 PM

Im glad you still have it for the time being. Im keeping my eye out for long stepside bed myself.

Im curious as to why these trucks went extinct. Did they limit production or something cause I've ran into a few folks who say they have't seen one of these for a long time. My research hasn't produced much info on the c30 step with 9footer. I've only caught glimps in literature on here. I'll probably buy the sales guide to get more info. If I can find it.

Here is a 1961 long bed stepper, still not a c30 though. Maybe you do have the last one, who knows.
