Very nice indeed! Lowered to have a nice stance. What suspension/brakes setup do you have? Drop spindles and lowering springs I suspect? Tell all and hold nothin' back!

Looks awesome. I was looking at 17" rims but your pics changed my mind. Hey, in your pictures it says posted by way of mobile. How do you post pics from mobile? Mine won't look on my phone for the pics. Thanks.

If you need one, I think I can find the 4-section antenna that was on my '66--it's about 1/2 -5/8-inch in diam on the bottom section and, of course, is extended really high and bent into an arc toward the rear!

Nice ride! Wheels really complete the 'deal'!

Re: My 63 is road ready...
Yeah, I noticed how the paint looks distressed and a bit flat. That makes it look great. Done wrong and it looks bad but yours was done RIGHT!

How is your truck lowered? Drop spindles and drop springs? Gimme the details please! What paint codes?

I dropped the front with 73-87 2.5 drop spindles and 1 inch springs. The back is lowered 5 inches with drop springs. I did not notch the rear.
As far as paint codes, it is rustoleum 2x lagoon blue satin and satin white on the top bought at Home Depot.
