Description
Lot #611 - This 1961 Dodge M201B1 is powered by a 230ci 6-cylinder engine backed by a 4-speed manual transmission. One of 519 made, its frame-off restoration was finished in 2008 and was recently repainted with new decals. During the restoration the cab and bed were taken off and the frame sandblasted, along with the front and rear axles, transmission and transfer case. The diamond plate on the bed was replaced, and the entire bed was sandblasted and repainted. The cab was also sandblasted and repainted, and a new wiring harness from Vintage Wiring was installed. The rebuilt engine has less than 500 miles since its completion, and all seals on the truck have been replaced. The restoration of truck was done to replicate the overhaul look done in 1964 by the U.S. Army rather than the factory look. The vacuum wipers are not operational.
