I got my 63 today and I've got to say maybe it was a bad trade I traded my square body for it that ran good, smogged everytime and had A/C! Anyways the square bodies gone and now I have A 63. It's got a 62 style grill with the 62 light bezels. The fenders got bondo, the doors and the bed. And it's not sanded down I took a look under the bed and it looks like there's about two 2x4 in each corner supporting the bed, So 4 corners with 2 2x4. Then I look at the rear end and it's held on with 2 leaf springs. I didn't know these trucks came with leafs? I'm guessing there not suppose to be there, but that's not what scares me. It's the fact that theres only two on each side . Also owner that had the truck before me put in two fuel tank and decided to cap off the tank behind the seat. Now I'm not sure this truck came with the tank behind the seat but everthing I've seen said it's suppose to have it. Well now the good The motor is out of a 1987 Camaro and so is the rear end. The motor is carburated and runs very well. I've got power steering but my brakes need a little adjusting. I ran through a stop sign tonight. The exhaust is all brand new from the headers back to the flowmasters. Even the pipe is new. Interior is ok. The guage cluster doesn't really work but that could be from not being hooked up. also the linkage on my shifter is backwards Forgot to mention the tranny is a 700r4. Well that it for now. I would like some help with maybe finding a gauge insert and maybe finding after market guages. Also am wondering about the leafs and the bed being on 2x4. Thanks a head of time. I'll post pictures when I get my camara back. O yeah did these trucks come with five lug? It's a five lug. I guess that how I can tell if my rear end is really out of a camaro or not. It should have the small five bolt pattern. Thanks
