Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC
I believe the bolt you are referring to is 1" but I can double check today. The engine bay cleaned up real good. Good luck on cutting the rivets for that cross member. The top ones are really hard to get to with the cab on.
I am jealous of your new W motor. I built a ton of early 60's Impala models as a kid and I always used the 409's when they came with them. I even had a 58 Impala that had the 348. I love the stock chrome valve covers with the Chevy bowtie on them.
And I agree with Sharps on the Powerglide to each his own though. The good thing about it is with the right rear gear. First gear will go all the way to 60 mph before you have to shift. My dad's 64 El Camino had one with a 283. Only bad part is after 70 you have no more gear!
