Anyway, just wanted to share some Pics of the 1961 DB Suburban i just picked up last night. the Fellow I got this from actually saved this DB right off the back of a Pickup truck headed for the Scrap yard! the Kid said it was his Grandfathers' and he was just junkin' it for scrap metal....what a Dummy. Anyway, he saved it but didn't really have any use for it, contacted me and here it is, Saved, Safe & Sound.
I also Posted a video in the members video section comparing my 59 to the 61.

Notice that on the front axle the 59 has squared mouints and the 61 has chamfered? I wonder why?
Interesting observation. hmm.

This 61 was really Butchered a lot, I am definitely using it as a Parts tractor to complete my '59 but will still keep it intact & running.

As you can tell I am pretty deep it trying to make one nice. The 61 just falls apart like it was just put together and yet I am saving the 60 that i have to fight. Brake, wheel hubs and clutch just came right apart on the 61.
