My 1961 crew cab- XRMYCRU

[jonzcustomshop]

About a month ago 64chevycrewcab got ahold of me and mentioned that a friend of his had found a 61 crew cab in my area, and that he had bought it.
After some pics and a few emails , he let me know that he would consider selling it.
I jumped at this chance; I have been lightly(?) searching for a crew for a few years now, it always seems like they end up being too far away ($$$ in gas) , or super expensive on ebay, or because of ebay.
there have been 5 of them -ironically all 61's- close enough to get over the last 6 years, and they were always just a little bit out of reach.
I don't know how many times I told myself that I should start saving up money, so that when one shows up I could get it.
luckily with this one the price was right, and I was able to get the funding together to get it.

So yesterday I drove 8 hours round trip (plus an hour loading and b.s.ing)
and arrived home with something I have been dreaming about for the last 22 years.

without further ado here are a few of the pics:
