new guy 63 bagged fleet side build
Hello everyone! I have been lurking on this site for months and seen some awesome builds and have gotten tons of good info so I figured I would join. I have a 63 fleetside that was very clean when I got it. It has always been a dream truck of mine. I am going to bag it and do a v8 swap. I love anything that has to do with fabrication and cars and I have access to a mill, lathe and I own a tig so I try to make anything that is possible rather than buy premade. Well enough with the talk, here are some pics so far.

I bought this notch kit before I knew the frame was shaped funny but that was a easy fix

Re: new guy 63 bagged fleet side build
Nice build! Are you leaving the body stock? And just changing all the mechanicals.

Pretty much. The only thing I might do is put a filler panel in the tailgate

Re: new guy 63 bagged fleet side build
Well I'm kind of stuck. I'm having issues setting the 4 link/wishbone up. Placing the brackets for maximum drop and lift is giving me a headache!

Thanks a lot! There is a lot of inspiration on here. I have not seen anyone do this set up on here though.

Yea.. I finally found some wheels. I need to run exhaust, hook up switches, and put the bed back on.
Oh and shocks.
