Welcome to the forum. Nice looking truck, good to see it still has it's original hood. They're really hard to come by in good shape.

Welcome from NE Ohio.

Re: new guy in here with a 61

Yeah, you're a pretty good haul away.

And the bummer is, 60-63s are more than double the price new, than 64-66s..

Thats why I held on to this one, incase I got another knee-knocker cab.
