I'm no expert on Champs, or any other Sutde for that matter, but I would have to say a 60.

Looking good not too many stepsides of 59-62, you have got my blessings to pull it out and if you are near I would help.

By the look of the belt line trim I'd say a ' 60 . You can always tell a ' 60 if it has 3 reqtangluar impressions above the rear window....the only year they had them !

I think it's a 60 by the side trim and the step side box. The 61's had the trim up above the body like like the Larks. Never have liked them...

She's looks great. About one step lower than some of my trucks when I found them. But I must say that I have seen worse, trees growing through the floorboards, pretty bad.

Certainly saveable. What's that logo on the door say?[:I]

Looking closely at those photos, I see where it's got Lark Regal stainless trim around the door glasses and whoever did it bothered to add little continuation bits on the corner of the cab! Also looks like they extended the beltline mouldings on back down the side of the bed some. I thought about doing that years ago when I had a Champ or two. I fiddled around with trim bits and found that the rearmost part of the Lark's rear fender sections of beltline mouldings would be a perfect fit to continue the beltline trim around the rear corner of the cab!

Miscreant at large.

I would definitely pull it out, isn't a slushbox in a truck kinda rare? and if I'm not mistaken the bellhousing is unique to trucks.
