Thanks man! I don't know what brand the whistle is but I got it on ebay. I have it running from a quick connect on my tank so if the horn button gets stuck I can just disconnect it. I also have a an adjustable pressure regulator to control the volume (the whistle is rated from 60 to 120 psi). I have it set around 80 I think. Not obnoxious like train horns but loud enough to hear over the motor. As for the suspension, that company no longer makes that kit so it doesn't really matter. If you want I can PM you the info.

Haha, thanks! Here's some pics...

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

I just started working on it last weekend. I got a set of CPP spindles that bring the wheels in .5" on each side and depending on the tire size I go with It might work. I'm waiting on an answer from CPP to see if their modular spindles will bring the wheels in any more or not.

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

I ended up getting a set of CPP's modular spindles and brake brackets to bring the wheels in another 5/16" per side. It looks like that might have done the trick. I got the suspension buttoned back up and the wheels installed and jacked both wheels up and they cleared my fenders without having to trim them any more. I still need to put it back on the ground and cycle the suspension but the airline I was using to fill the truck's air tank with sprung a bad leak so I couldn't put any air in the truck to get it off the jack stands.

Here's a teaser pic...

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

The truck is now on the ground and it looks like everything clears OK. Now I just have to clean up my buddy's barn so I can get it out and test drive/shoot some pics.

I went with a 245/40/20. I was going to go with a 245/40/20 but decided to get a smaller diameter to try and dial in my speedo.

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

I meant to say "I was going to go 245/45/20". Derrrr!

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Maybe I have some mob steel wheels for the new project!! :)

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

I went to that website on my ipad creep. And did not see any way to browse the wheels they sell. And the biz store will not load up? Any ideas?

Re: '63 GMC Project
 

Sick man!!! im not usually a fan of those wheels but they look really good one your truck :metal::metal::metal:

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

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:
