Re: 62 C-10 what I am starting with

thanks, it already has sb350 with auto trans. I have built many custom Harleys over the years but the C-10 is new to me and any advice from you guys on the site would be appreciated...

Re: 62 C-10 what I am starting with

good idea with the frame swap. although if you are investing in a drop member.. what's the point?

Re: 62 C-10 what I am starting with

I discussed my options with Nate from Porterbuilt and I think we agreed that the 63 chassis is a better choice for where I am headed with this project. Granted he offers a dropmember for the 62 but if motor needs to come out for install and the fact I have a nice 63 chassis less fab work if I just swap the cab and bed..

I agree, the '63-'66 frame is a better choice, especially if you already have the frame.
