Re: '63 GMC Project
 

I just called them to order mine. Their website is a little wonky.

Thanks, man. I'm looking into some new centercaps and maybe some beauty rings for them but I'm really diggin' the way they look now so I don't know, I might just leave 'em the way they are.

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Looks nice. I was looking back at pics with the 15's. Minus the whitewall & smaller diameter, it still has relatively the same appearance. Obviously that's because the center caps didn't change, nor did the wheel color. It works though. Another one of those long beds I just can't help but like! ;) :chevy:

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Your truck is looking amazing. Keep having fun with it and sending us the new pictures that you take of it. I have to say that I love it!

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Thanks, that's what I was going for. As I said, I might get new caps but I really like the looks of it like it is.

Thanks! I love that you love it. :lol:

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

i like it as is man!! i havent seen anyone else running that combo yet

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Which headers are those?

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Dang this thing is looking good! :metal:

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Patriot Clippsters wrapped with DEI Titanium header wrap. I got them from Summit Racing

Thanks, man!

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Wow its been a while since i have checked your thread out! Looks awesome!!! :metal:

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

How do you like the DEI header wrap? I have used their spark plug boots, but never used the header wrap. Truck is looking great!!!!

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Thanks guys! The DEI header wrap is pretty nice. I like the titanium because of the dark silver appearance and you don't need to spray it with anything like you do other wraps.

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

A few small updates and a couple more show pics...

I finally got my Porterbuilt hood hinge strut upgrade installed. It turned out to be a bit more challenging than I thought it would but it came out alright...

At Good Guys last weekend my driver's door window came out of its track down inside the door. After I got it home and took it apart I found this...

This is the channel that bolt to the back edge of the door on the inside. I hopped on this site and got some advice and this is how I fixed it...

Now for some more pics. This is my truck with 2 of my friends' trucks at Super Summit...

Re: '63 GMC Project

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Good to see an update from you. The truck continues to look killer. :metal:

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Found another pic from Good Guys.

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Nice looking truck. Good to see more people that are semi close to me. I'm east of Cleveland.

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Been diggin this truck for a long time. Its part of the reason I made my crew cab a long bed. Was hoping you could share the specs on the mob steel wheels. Im sure there 20"s. how about back spacing and tire size. CHIZZLER

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Saw at least a dozen pics on IG from Goodguys

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

me too...seen a ton of pics, love your truck! I hope to get the 63 lookin that good.:metal:

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Nice lookin GMC there..

Missed the truck the first time I looked........

Cool pics, and very good looking truck.

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Yeah, no problem. They are 20"x8" with 4.5" BS. Tires are 245/40/15.

Thanks guys. I guess I'm going to have to get on IG now.

Thanks. You have to look pretty closely but you can barely see the truck in there.

Yeah, there are a few of us in here. More in the 67-72 section though I think.

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

I figured there was some. I have always seen 67-72's floating around. Not many 60-66.

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Keep an eye out for footage from the next season of "Fat and Furious" shot from a camera mounted to my truck. You may even see my truck in the background or in some drone shots. They were filming an episode about a 63 Impala at a car show we went to.

We seen these 2 really nice Chevys at a restaurant on the way home from the show and there just happened to be a free spot next to them.

I took a few shots before stuffing it back away for the night.

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

What the heck was I on that day? I don't think a 245/40/15 is going to fit a 20" rim. 245/40/20 does though. :hh:

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

A friend of mine sent me this pic from the Nov. issue of Street Trucks...

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

And another friend sent me this one from a Summit Racing ad in a local magazine...

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Whoa, you're famous now for sure! :lol: Congrats! :metal:

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

:lol: Thanks.

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

I know this is a bit old but is the width of the chevelle reared narrower than that of a 12 bolt? Trying to get some wheels ordered but having a hard time measuring backspace without a bed to see what'll clear

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

are you running 20x8 al the way around?

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Yep. 4.5" backspacing.

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Dang, it's been a long time since I've been on here!

There's just a few minor changes to the 63. I put the trim rings on my wheels and just finished installing a Street Demon 750 carb ( still needs a test drive and some minor tuning I think ). I've just been doing small things that I've been putting off for a very long time.

Big changes in life though; met a girl, got a french bulldog, got engaged and had a baby ( yes in that order :lol: ).

I will try to post more pics later on.

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Glad to see you're back and congrats on everything! I disappeared on here for a few years myself. During that time I married and we have one in the oven. Nice to see a lot of the same people still hanging around.

Truck is killer, as always. I like the trim rings.

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Also! By the way, I live in Chicago now! Be cool to meet you sometime during a car show that is in Michigan or something.

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Love the build, great looking truck!

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Thanks Cort. It looks like you've been through some trucks since I've been on here last. How could you ever part with that gorgeous Suburban? I loved that thing.

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Yeah man, that'd be awesome.

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Yeah, I know...I always miss these things after I sell them. If I was rich and had a 20 car garage, I'd keep everything! Haha. I miss my 78 SWB the most....
