61 Chevy Shortbed Stepside

This was my favorite truck. I ended up with this after I acquired the 67. What a deal I think it was $5000 at the time. The 61 was setup on a newer blazer frame with NP 205 transfer case and Turbo 350. However it had a 70 LS5 454 for power and included tilt, power steering and power brakes. Even with 39" MT's it would still roll 'em over easily. In fact I pulled a Ford out from a mud hole that had 40's on it...it was embarrassing....

I soon had problems with the motor and decided to do a semi frame off and it took forever. Being young it was tough to raise the money but it happened and it got finished after I got married. Thanks to my wife, mother, and the rest (you know who you are), it got done and then sold...too bad. Here are some more pics of the truck.  I have no idea where it is now.
