1961 Chevrolet C-10 Base

I'm selling my 1961 chevy apache C-10. Me and my dad got it about 6 years ago to restore. We finished the restoration in September of 2018 and I have been using it as my daily driver ever since. It runs great and is a great cruiser. I have taken it on multiple road trips. THIS RESTORATION WAS TO MAKE IT RELIABLE, NOT A SHOW TRUCK...IT IS A DAILY DRIVER.
Having said that, it was a frame-off restoration starting with a powder coated frame and then replacing/renewing almost everything from there. Some of the features include, brand new bed steel all around, new oak bed floor with stainless trim and hardware, relocated fuel tank (new aluminum) to under bend and added electric fuel pump, added power disc brakes up front, added seat belts, added factory turn signals, replaced all wiring with new factory reproduction harnesses, kept the three on the tree transmission (rebuilt with new bearings and seals), rebuilt rear differential (changed 3.90 to 3.38 gears for better drive-ability), rebuilt engine with new pistons, new bearings, new cam (slightly mild performance), added fuel injection, upgraded to electronic ignition, added exhaust headers with custom dual exhaust, replaced all rust-through in cab with new sheet metal and sealed remaining areas with POR-15. New paint in original Tahiti corral with factory original black and white trim around grill. New windows all around with new rubbers to match. New carpet, new stereo and custom speaker box behind seat.
I put about 700 miles on it before we connected the speedometer. As a result, actual mileage is a little over 70,000. Also, there is minor damage to the driver's side lower front fender behind the wheel (due to the wheel coming off during the first test drive...loose lug nuts after bleeding brakes...hard lesson to learn). It's an honest truck...see the pictures. This is a great truck for around town (commuting to school or work).
