Looking for a CHAMP

[61LaRk4dr]

Hello,

I will go straight to the point. I am looking for a 1960?-1964 Champ truck with:

- Automatic transmission
- V-8 or 6 cylinder
- Preferably a 1/2 ton short box with the fenders
- Must be in good running order (derivable now)
- Does not need to look good, but able to be fixed up
- West coast located preferred
- Price range $3500 or less

Please let me know. This is simply a request for those that would be interested.

What makes this request so hard to fill is the Automatic Trans. There were No 6 Cyl. Trucks with Auto. and extremely few V8's with Automatic. I am sure you must have a really important reason like a health issue, not just a preference so I hope you find one.

I have actually seen more '56 to '59 "C" Cabs with Automatic, than Champ "T" Cabs even though they are Newer.

Probably your best shot is to build one from a 3 Speed Column shift or 4 Speed.

In the 1960's nobody wanted a Truck with an Automatic, hence the low sales.

The narrow boxes were few in '62 and none in '63-'64.

I have a 60 Champ 1/2 ton with 259 and automatic that I'm getting ready to sell. Its in Minnesota and is slightly north of your price range.

Rich,

They did make some Champs with automatics; not to mention Zip Vans were all automatics. Kevin owns one of the few surviving 6-cylinder Champs with an automatic. His is a '62.
