Looks good but I have a question for ya. I have a 63 GMC SWB for my wife but the dash in hers only has the one bump not two like yours. Is it just a GMC thing or is your cab a 60-62?

60-63 chevy has the two hump, GMC 60-66 are all the same like the 64-66 chevy. But the Gmc dashes are a little different from the 64-66 chevy dashes.

GMC thing, Chevys have two, GMCs have one

Re: My build 63 short fleet
 

Thanks for the compliments. I'm trying to do this with as many parts from around the house as possible. That has been laying around in a box for about 5 yrs.

Re: My build 63 short fleet
 

i think that is so cool. I have thrown or given away so many parts over the years due to lack of room, sure wish I had them now:devil:

Re: My build 63 short fleet
 

looking good. give me a call if you need a hand. megan wants me to help her out a little today, but i can slip away in the evening.

Re: My build 63 short fleet
 

I did not really do anything today. I got the wiring out but that's it.

Re: My build 63 short fleet
 

get anything done this week? call me if you want any help this weekend.

Re: My build 63 short fleet
 

Keep up the work. Its looking better. My Dad and I just finished up the old air install and power windows in the truck today.

Re: My build 63 short fleet
 

Not a thing. Had a bunch of stuff to do with the kids after work this week. I want to work on it today after my dauhgters softball game. I'll call you.

Re: My build 63 short fleet
 

Power windows would be sweet. Got any pics?

Re: My build 63 short fleet
 

Soooo true !!

How'd they turn out ?


Poorboy, your truck is coming along good man...great use of parts, and mock-up.

Re: My build 63 short fleet
 

Thanks Chief. I hate throwing stuff away so it usually goes in the rafters or the shed out back or I donate them to someone else's project. When I got all the part together for the truck the leftovers are going to JohnnyG for his new project. He has some good ideas.

Re: My build 63 short fleet
 

I painted the das and gauges today. I disassembled the gauges and painted the inside grey to match the seat. I have another set I will use that are not faded and have all te needles. I just used these to see how it would look. Also going to use a different clear plastic as this one has some spots on it.

Re: My build 63 short fleet
 

Great job! I like what you've done so far. I can't wait to see it finished. After seeing your truck, I am thinking of putting my truck back together and just drive it like it is.

Re: My build 63 short fleet
 

Thanks! I like the way it looks for now. Eventually it will get based with a dark midnight blue and a white top. I can't wait to drive it.

Re: My build 63 short fleet
 

Just scored this for the truck.
