'61 shortbox fleetside rare? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just stumbled upon a '61 shortbox fleetside C-10 for a good price. I have not seen many shortbox fleets around. Are these somewhat rare?

My '62 is a swb fleetside, and I see alot of swb fleets all the time. But I don't really see any 'burbs, panels, and lwb stepsides too often.

I HAVE A 60,62,63CC,AND MY BABY A 64 CC ALL SHORT BED FLEET SIDES. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL THE RARITY IS IF YOU CAN FIND A PERFECT SHORT FLEETSIDE BED.

BY THE WAY THE 60-63 ARE FOR SALE.
