63 Short Fleet Build

Hi all,

I've been following the site for a while and would like to share my project. Its a 63 short fleet custom cab. I've got the C4 Dropmember and rear Dropmember with a LS1 to drop in it. I'll try to post as I make progress.

As I bought it

Re: 63 Short Fleet Build

Welcome! Looks nice!

Re: 63 Short Fleet Build

Looks like a nice project...Keep us posted and welcome.

Re: 63 Short Fleet Build

Cool project. Gotta love those C4 Dropmembers. Are you running the C4 rear or the parallel 4-bar DM rear?

Re: 63 Short Fleet Build

You started with a cool truck. The 63 BBW CC Short fleet is one of my favorites!

That frame looks really nice. I'll be watching this one with interest!

Re: 63 Short Fleet Build

It's been a while but i've made a bit of progress... Motor and transmission, did a posi in the rear, and set up the 4 link and some temporary airlines for the bags. Sheet metal work is done on the cab and got one side suicided and shaved the drip rails.
