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.

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...

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

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.
