I like it. The paint looks flat untill the sun hits it. Then looks glossy. Prob the best original looking one that ive seen. Good to see you saved original paint where you could

[@Nichemotors]

Man that’s clean. Nice work. If only I had the dough….

[@Nichemotors]

Thank you 🙏🏼 ✌🏼

All the videos I see of double cabs no one ever shows the under seat storage in the back and the access to the fuel tank, unique and functional.

Beautiful! These things seem to be getting rarer all the time. If they're no longer making them, they need to be kept alive and running! Good choice of scenery too. Image stabilizer works well here (if that's what you're using). Your truck is in better shape than my 1960 house!

[@Nichemotors]

Thank you! Yes, they’re getting scarce! Very fortunate to call this scenery my back yard :D

I believe 61 is first year for synchro, instead of split-case

[@johnstainkamp1441]

Looks great! Can you tell me what the switch on the side of the speedo pod is for? I don't have one in my '61. Is it for the second (or both) interior lights?I only have the one light in mine. Thanks!

[@Nichemotors]

It’s a toggle switch for the rear interior light. Single cabs don’t have one as you can operate the one and only interior light by hand. You’re right on the money!
