Re: '63 GMC Project
We changed the rear cab mount perches out with some 1/2 ton perches I got from Tony (Lilred66) and replaced all the cab mount bushings with new urethanes. It is finally sitting on the ground now too.

Re: '63 GMC Project
Thanks man, the truck looks sweet. You gonna get it on the pinch or the rocker. I'm thinking about laying it on the rocker since I have to cut the trans tunnel anyways, whats a little extra metal to cut out of the way.

Re: '63 GMC Project
It wouldn't be that hard, maybe just hit the urethane cab mount bushings with the belt sander, but It sits fine for me now.

Re: '63 GMC Project
Got a few more things done. Installed the swaybar, test fit the rear caliper brackets and painted the centercaps for the steelies I'm going to run for a while. We also painted the rest of the frame (except the very rear, untill we get a fuel cell test fit) and rear suspension parts but haven't taken any pics of it yet.

Re: '63 GMC Project
I went to a swap meet yesterday and picked up some new door seals and an air intake for the 63, but the real magic happened at Summit Racing on the way home. I finally ordered my motor, a 405 hp Blueprint 383 longblock. Can't wait 'till that bad boy comes in so we can go pick it up.

Re: '63 GMC Project

Re: '63 GMC Project

Re: '63 GMC Project
Man, I love it!

Re: '63 GMC Project
Thanks guys.
It will be hard to not smoke the skinny tires that I will be running for a while, that's for sure. |
Re: '63 GMC Project
One day I'll drop mine, but man, I do love the look of airbags. Can't wait to see it on the road.
And hey, all those unemployment checks that they withheld and then suddenly sent me payed for those wheels and tires on my Blazer. And it only took half of what they owed me. They just didn't think I was looking for jobs until they saw that I got one. |
Re: '63 GMC Project
Ok, time for an update. We have been working on it, just lots of little boring stuff like brakelines and painting little parts. But today was a pretty good day. The new tires are finally mounted and the motor and tranny went in today. We also rolled it outside to see it in the sun.
