  • 61 Champ at the Dragstrip Videos

    Does anyone know who owns this champ? I wonder what engine's in it. It launches hard!

          That little Champion engine had just enough to free up the front axle but not quite enough to get the tires off the ground...

            I'd say a big C.I. SBC, the BRODIX decals is a big give away. Could also be a BBC. But it's a Chevrolet engine

                Cool looking truck & videos. I like the body side moldings on the first video but they look like their missing on the second. I'd like to know what you used for the end piece on the rear cab post. Looks very finished!

                    And don't forget to post on the '61 Champ registry...

                    If you have a 1961 Champ, half or three-quarter ton (or know of one) - lets see them. Put up all the information you have and include some photos if they are available. Please leave out any personal information - someone can pm you if they want to "talk." Click on the serial number to go to that particular vehicle's
