Welcome!

IF I'm reading this, I'm thinking the 83 Silverado is a SWB truck and the 63 is a LWB? That would be a tough frame swap. You could possible find a SWB 63 bed and make the swap work but that's a still BIG project. Does the 63 have a transmission? The 305 would be a pretty easy fit in the 63 if the trans is there. Do a search, plenty have put V8's in these old trucks. Lots of info here...
