Yep, pass that one by! They're really not all that scarce! Lots of school buses ran the 261, along with most of the bigger trucks from the mid-50's to 62 or so. I made an even-up swap for my running-condition 261 with a rusted-out 1959 3800 1-ton with a bad cylinder head that had been sitting in a fencerow on my place for 10 years. I was glad to get rid of it!
