This truck is the one that got me interested in Champs!
This was on eBay twice last year in NV. Seller had just inherited it from his father; was listed not running, dirty, flat tires and all. Bid to about $800 the first time, sold the second for about $1200. I passed then because I wasn't too excited about arranging shipping for a non-running vehicle from a disinterested seller
Turns out the buyer was this seller in MA.
I found out if I buy a Champ it has to have the stepside box- just don't care for the Dodge box. And I LOVE the orange graphics on this one! The current owner added the orange rims and baby moons- makes the truck just right to me[
]
I was bidding on this one, but it's gone way beyond what I want to spend right now, as I've committed to a nice but unloved 61 Cruiser a friend has. But I've saved a couple pics of it for future reference, as eventually I'll add just the right Champ to my collection, and may just copy this one!
Some of you may not like the way this one's done- and that's OK with me! Chime in if you want. But had I gotten this one, I'd have added bumpers, done the floors a little better, touched up the white, added carpet and recovered the seat, added O/D, and enjoyed it!
Thanks to this one, there's a Champ in my future[:X]

, course there's a lot on this baby that is not stock.[}
] By the way Bob, I agree, with you that the chase is a lot of fun.[
