63 Chevy SWB 4 X 4 off the mountain
Drugged this down the mountain the other night. Someone put a 366 big block in it. Not too bad a start for a new project. Would like to put a 327 back in it.

Re: 63 Chevy SWB 4 X 4 off the mountain
Nice, really nice truck to start with. A driver? Have you seen literature on the truck?

Re: 63 Chevy SWB 4 X 4 off the mountain
Wow. I'm not a big fan of those knee knocker cabs but that thing is bad ass. Congrats.
Posted via Mobile Device Do my eyes deceive me or are those 62 badges on a 63? |

Re: 63 Chevy SWB 4 X 4 off the mountain
3/4 t axles? I dig it! Is it a runner?

Re: 63 Chevy SWB 4 X 4 off the mountain
That looks like the truck from Eureka Springs. How far are you from Springdale?

Re: 63 Chevy SWB 4 X 4 off the mountain
Looks like a decent solid truck....nice score. Did they hack things up to install the big block?
I have to say, looking at the firewall and steering column and badges on the cowl corners, I would say it is a '62 with a '63 grill. Of course who knows what all has been changed over the years.

I was lucky they built a cross member motormount and just bolted it in. Did not cut the frame, they custom built the exhaust manifolds out of pipe, cleared the frame. Is there a way to tell the difference of a 62 or 63 cab, do they mount different on the frame? Thanks, Tim |

I like it when one 4x4 is not enough.

Re: 63 Chevy SWB 4 X 4 off the mountain
A couple of easy ways to ID a '60-'62 cab from the '63-'66's is the front cab mounts on the '60-'62's are farther from the frame than the '63-'66's. The front bolts on the '63-'66's are only about 3" out from the frame. One other way is the provisions for the combination brake master and clutch master on the firewall. The '63-'66's did not have a hydraulic clutch. Another way is the '60-'62's had the cable operated vents in the kick panels with the louvers. One thing I saw in one of your pics above is the steering column shaft just forward of the firewall support. The '60-'62's have that kind of universal joint there whereas the '63-'66's do not. They have just one solid shaft from the steering wheel to the rag joint.
