Re: 1964 SWB Step Side Chop Top

Some back ground on why I decided to build one of these trucks. When I was growing up my dad had a 62 step side with a 327 4-speed. It was a project his best friend was building but did not get to finish, he was killed when a train ran over his little 63 Falcon. So my dad bought it and put her on the road. I used to ride in the back, when he would do a burn-out I could watch both back tire rolling the smoke due to no wood. Watching those tires burn that asphalt was for ever burned into my head. I would love to get that truck but it ended up back to his friends family. When I saw this truck it brought back lots of memories, When I get this one on the road I will go get dad and take hime for a ride and burn up some asphalt.....Good Times!
