Pontiac Nut's 63 GMC ProStreet Build


OK,
I am nearly done with my 66 build and now into my 63 ProStreet build.
I am thinking I didn't do that great of a job getting photos onto my other build thread maybe I can do a better job this time.
Here is where I am going with in this build.
63 GMC. The frame has an Alston Chassisworks back half kit welded in, coil overs and a narrowed 9 inch ford with a posi third member hung on a 4 link.
All of that is done now and pulled back apart so I can get the frame sand blasted again. The high tech primer that was used after the last sand blast/seal failed and I am having it redone. The rust can be seen coming through in the photo. I had the frame stashed there in the weather and was assured it wouldn't rust. By the way, that big mess is gone too. I have been pretty busy lately and it got bad.
I have a 63 GMC cab that needs some TLC.
I only have a photo of the dash so far but it is a photo...
I am not a huge step side fan so a step side isn't in the future for this truck even though it came with one.
I am thinking 58-59 bedsides for this 63. It is a short bed.
I have a 440 inch Pontiac motor for this truck. It is a 400 block with a 428 crank and .060 over flat top pistons. 6X-4 heads, 2.11/1.77 valves, a roller cam and valve train, dual quad intake and twin Holley carbs. Hooker headers take care of exhaust. I havent figured out the rest of the exhaust yet.
The motor dyno'd at 631/683, (H.P./Torque)
I have a 5 lug front disk set-up from a 73-87 donor truck and am currently scronging the local wrecking yards looking for a set of Mark V lincoln rear disks for the 9 inch. This keeps front and rear 5 on 5...
Haven't figured out a trans yet but I do have a TH400 and I am keeping an eye out for a 200-4R trans for the overdrive.
Tomorrow I should figure out how to move photos from my old laptop to my new so I can load more photos.
