traded my old DD for this beastie....1960, 235 i6, column shift...little bit of rust but not too bad at all...runs and drives great...love it. i've wanted a 60-66 for a LONG time.

plan is to swap to a newer crossmember, get rid of the torsion bars and go lower, then bodywork and paint. really want to BBW swap her if can find a good donor...and put an 5spd trans behind the 235.

Looks like a solid truck. Whats in the back?

X2, does look like a solid truck.

I wanna do some of the same stuff to my 65. I wanna do a 5 speed in mine also, but Im rocking a 350 backed by a 3 speed right now, and its my DD

Good for you, nice starting place. I've always liked the 63 grille best of the 60-66 Chevys.

There is a complete 71-72 5 lug disk brake set up at the pick n pull on Mowry in Newark Ca, just saw it yesterday

it is pretty solid...guy at my work said his pops has a wrecked "same truck as yours with a bigger back window" at his house he wants gone...gonna get pics for me this weekend but i guess it was all bagged and what not and he totaled the frame some how...so sounds like i might have a parts truck on the way.

whats in the back is my 2.25" up rigid harley frame for my ironhead project.

I also like the 63 grille. Been think about trying to find one for my 65.......or just sticking with a 65 grille, not sure yet.

Cool another local gearhead, what`s your plans for it, we just had a small get together, about 12/13 trucks 60/66 showed up....

Re: so i went to sell my old car and this pice of crap followed me home
 

nice you'll hafta let me know when the next gathering is, i'd definately like to head out for it.

Re: so i went to sell my old car and this pice of crap followed me home
 

Very cool '63.

Sac. area gatherings huh? I'd come down the mountains to visit and hang a bit.

We`ll have to make it a full day for you, your about a three hour cruise, ( sorta like Gillgans island ) anyways we just got started with this we`ll see what we can work out in the future. :hi2: Rich

Re: so i went to sell my old car and this pice of crap followed me home
 

Love the 3 hour cruise, that's good humor. I'm game man, even if it is and evening or afternoon event it's worth a drive for me. I've driven that way for nothing more than to pick up parts from craigslist purchases, so I'm pretty much down for whatever. It's just a shame that it may be a while before I get to make the trip in my Chevy.

:metal: Love the new ride! Great score! :metal:

Re: so i went to sell my old car and this pice of crap followed me home
 

so i got a few questions...tries searching but didnt come up with what i was lookin for...

turns out that truck my co-workers pops has is a 64 or a 65 BBW pretty much complete no motor.

will the interior panel for the bbw swap from the 63-66 work in a 60-62 cab? (i know the main diff is the dash/doors/winshield etc...but the back half of the cab looks the same)

im gonna go check it out pretty soon so if anyone local is gonna need 63-66 parts let me know...im only really planning on stealin the bbw/front suspension and rear axle so anything i wont need will be available

Re: so i went to sell my old car and this pice of crap followed me home
 

i may be interested in some parts. me and three buddies have a small car club and all 3 of us have one of these as our daily driver. so please hit me up. nice truck btw. where abouts in sac are you?

Re: so i went to sell my old car and this pice of crap followed me home
 

for sure im gonna go check it out (just seen pics) in the next week or 2 and if it's all as good as it looked in the pics i'l pick it up next month when i have some more $$...cuz sadly its not free, close but not quite.

on the rancho side of sac
