`62 Panel...Chiquita

[Custom_Deluxe]

New member, new project! Awesome site here, lots of info. Hopefully I'll be able to add to it once the ball is rolling.

2 weeks ago I pulled a banana yellow `62 GMC panel out of a run-down garage and I guess this will be the build thread! It has a 235 Chevrolet (Canadian GMC mill) with a 3 on the tree, bare bones-no nothing. Needs rockers, hood and the motor is stuck from sitting. Inside is mint. Hopefully I'll get it running before the snow hits if not it will have to wait until spring.

Plan for now is to get it running, the rust cut out and patched up and get it safe to drive. After that I'll drop it and swap in a 73-87 front suspension with disc brakes. I happen to have a smallblock looking for a new home although I'm tempted to build up the 6 it it is decent after teardown. It will stay 60's style, a cross between a mooneyes shop truck and a surfboard hauler...
