1961 Champ - T-Cab - 6Es - forum registry

[Warren Webb]

I really like that rear bumper in post 104 !!

[StudeRich]

Funny Warren, I actually was just telling myself I need to find a Rear Bumper like in Post 105 for my Wide box, it's likely a "Safe-T" Brand.

The one in 104 on the Narrow box, looks like a BUS Bumper to me. Different tastes I guess!

Not really Rich. My 62 Champ 5 speed o/d has that same bumper on it (post 105) but my other 62 Champ has the factory rear bumper that's been cut out in the center for a hitch & now it's cracking & bowed to the point where the ends almost touch the bedsides. That chrome bumper (post 104) would look great on that one since I have no intention of pulling anything with it.

The neat thing about Trucks is they all already have all the Heavy Duty Truck Parts even on a Six, so a Stude. 259 or 289 is a much easier swap than a Car. The Brakes, Differential etc. are exactly the same on a 6 and an 8.

I think the Front springs are a bit softer on the 6, but I don't think you would notice with those rugged Leaf springs.

6E5-129759 - 112 WB - T6 cab - for sale on Ebay, September 2018.

Climitizer.

Information from ad: This truck was created using the best parts from five trucks. It has the side mount spare and the sliding rear window. It has a professional, custom interior and new tires. It is not perfect but it does run, stop, and steer. All the glass is good but the body and paint are amateur. I bought a modern truck and this one has got to go. It has lots of new parts and comes with lots of spares including all parts for air conditioning if desired.

Found on the side of the road in Lafayette, Oregon, this 1961 Champ 1/2 ton truck for sale.
SN E7-13819. This is one of the earliest built of this model and year. Pretty cool.

Thanks for the input Ed - it is early - the 19th V8 off the assembly line. If my hypothesis is true, it should have the three scallops in the panel above the rear window like the 5E Champs.

It looks like you tried to post a photo, but all that shows is a broken photo box.
