Re: my 1963 4x4
Congrats. My daughter likes mine too so I guess thats what I may be in for. Be patient with it, they're great trucks and you're in the right place to learn all you want about them.

Re: my 1963 4x4
Welcome to the forum Oleta
 I think that is cool that you have an interest in old Chevy trucks. Of course by the looks of the driveway pic, I'm not too surprised. What more can you tell us about your 'new' truck? What engine, transmission and transfer case?

Re: my 1963 4x4
Welcome Oleta. Nothing better than having family support for the old car and truck hobby when you're a teenager. Learn everything you can, it will serve you well once you have a drivers license.

Re: my 1963 4x4

Re: my 1963 4x4
there is no motor in it right now but the one that is goin into it is stock 350 smal block. again i dont have a transmission in it yet but it might be a 350 turbo or granny low 4-speed. transfer again dont have one might put in a 203 or a 208, not sure yet. it still needs alot of work and my sister is also on this site she has a 1971 chevy pick up and hers still needs done and since she is older than me hers gets done first!
