Re: '63 GMC Project
I don't really know. It would definitely fit the frame but I don't know how wide the bedsides are on a stepper. I can measure how wide it is for you or you can give *****************/Quality Air Ride a call at 812-782-3581. It's called a 63-72 C-10 Rear Wishbone Super Lift System.

Re: '63 GMC Project
Quick (and possibly stupid) question. Are the grille letters on a chrome grille made of aluminum or stainless? I cleaned my truck up a little 2 days ago and forgot to do the letters. Need to know what to take to the storage unit to shine them up.
|
Re: '63 GMC Project
Man that truck is amazing!, I need to get the ball rolling once the weather breaks, Ohio weather is ridiculous
|
Re: '63 GMC Project
Tell me about it. 80* and sunny one day and 40* and rainy 2 days later. You know what they say, If you don't like the weather in Ohio, just wait 5 minutes. :lol:
|
Re: '63 GMC Project
if your letters are chrome they are not stainless. mine the chrome wore off and they are pot metal
|
Re: '63 GMC Project
I guess they could be chrome, they just don't look it because they aren't quite as shiny as the grille and original front bumper and there isn't any pitting or spider web cracking on them.
|
Re: '63 GMC Project
You man have a Alum grill. That was a option then.
|
Re: '63 GMC Project
My grille is definitly chromed steel. It has a couple small rust spots that need to be cleaned up with an S.O.S. pad. I don't know if the GMCs had an aluminum grille option. The letters just don't look the same.

Re: '63 GMC Project
Thought this was kinda cool. My buddy's 305 V8 next to my 305 V6. The bottoms of both motors are pretty close to being equal distance from the floor.

Re: '63 GMC Project
Thanks Sam! Get yours running yet?
|
Re: '63 GMC Project
You got to do anything else to the truck man? Any plans for paint or gonna rock the patina?
|
Re: '63 GMC Project
I'm keeping the patina, at least for a couple of years. I still need to get the exhaust finished, get the alignment done, a new windshield seal installed and the front turnsignals wired up. I also noticed a small spot of tranny fluid in my driveway last time I drove it so I need to get that sorted out too.

BTW do you have any pictures of your steering set up, I'm having some troubles setting mine up. Just seems like the steering shaft is sticking out a lot further than any others I've seen so it causes the center shaft to hit the frame. |
Re: '63 GMC Project
I'll go out and get you some today. Yours may be hitting because of the Z in the frame though. That would bring the frame up closer to the steering shaft. You may need to put a third joint in there somewhere and support it off the frame. Some people use a Heim joint threaded into a homemede bracket and run the shaft through it.

Re: '63 GMC Project
Did you go with the p51 for any reason in paticular? Trying to make up my mind. Thanks
|
Re: '63 GMC Project
The diffrence between the P51 and the P47 is that the 47 uses stock LCA's. The 51 you have to use SD's LCA's. I'm not sure if you can use any other companys arms.
They both do the same thing. If your on a budget go with the 47. But right now SD isn't taking anymore orders for either one. They are way behind and trying to catch back up before then start taking more orders. Give SD a call to make sure. I had the P51 and it's a great product. If your wanting it now give PB a call. |
Re: '63 GMC Project
I went with the P-51 because the way the lower arms mounted. I liked the bolt through the arm instead of the original style u-bolt mounts of the P-47. I went with the SD setup over the Porterbuilt kit because sd.com is only 1 state over and shipping was a lot cheaper (and they cut me a hell of a deal).

Re: '63 GMC Project
sweet..Thanks for the info.

Re: '63 GMC Project
Small update, changed the radiator out for an aluminum unit I got off ebay and replaced the fan for a dual 13" setup I got from Summit Racing. Before the swap the motor would get up to about 210 after only 30 mins, after It only reached about 180 after an hour and 15 mins. Right now I only have 1 crappy cell phone pic of the rad and fans before I installed them but I will get some better shots of them installed later.

You know with the patina look you are going for I have a patinaed gmc grill that would match the patina look of you truck, will trade you straight across for that good looking chrome grille..........;) Let me know and I will ship the rusty one to you........Kieth :gmc2: Your truck is looking great.......... |
Re: '63 GMC Project
Nice!!!

Re: '63 GMC Project
Nice! I updated to a dual fan on my 66.....I used the fan out of a 2005 Scion TC and a generic electric switch I bought from Advance. Installed it myself in about 30 minutes and it only cost me about $100 total for everything. The truck runs so much cooler now and it really freed up my 327 V8, I could actually feel the truck make more power without that heavy fan dragging on the motor.

Re: '63 GMC Project
Awesome truck! The cooler idea is really cool.
