Hi y'all..
I live in Vegas... I have two trucks, 1964 GMC and a 62 Chevy. Both in different states. THe 64 is a long term project with my 13 year old son, taking it apart over the next two years and rebuild it with modifiations. The 62 short bed fleetside is/was running..lol.. I am in the process of putting in power steering, ididit column new gauges, wiring and wheels/tires. I already have 350/350, discs on all fours, ford 9 inch rear end, 2.5 inch drop spindles in front, 4 inch drops in rear. THinking of leaving the outtside ugly, but want to do bed and add air after the others are done and fix up the engine a bit.. oh and change gears.. probaly to 3.50 or something close from the 2.90 in it now. the wheels I have are 18x8 do prob 255/45 on front and 275 or 285/40 on rear... if will fit on 8 inch wheels. Oh yea.. 60' grill the 64 long bed stepside...has a 350/350, thats really about it.. poor job that previous owner did on all kinds of stuff.. had to use plasma cutter to cut out 1/4 inch thick diamond plate metal bed (all kinds of welds to rails), after finally removed that found that the welder happy previous owner welded the bed rails too... oh joy. but the 1970 corvette 375 hp 4 bolt main motor is kinda cool . just taking it apart down to frame... might consider selling for 63... the rear end was chaged not sure what it is... the owner claimed Dana.. but doesn't look like it to me, just haven't really checked yet. Oh and I have correct grill I restored a 1980 Hallett boat last year... been wanting to do a car or truck.. now I have two!..lol glad to find this site!
