1963 Chevy C10/ build what I can afford

[Cobblemizer]

I inherited this 1963 chevy C10 from my late father, It was going to be a father/son project that has now turned into a father tribute project.

Plans are to repair al of the rust and repaint omaha orange with a white top
Repaint the interior fawn (or somthing close). repaint the chassis black, new lower control arms (thanks to a very generous fellow member).

Currently it has a rebuilt 305/sm420 combo and a 60-62 rear axle that I havent decided if I am going to swap out to a 63-72 rear axle.

I have already swaped out the 60 chevy hood for my favoright GMC style hood.

I am going to retain the 4 wheel drums for now till cash becomes avalable as well as the manual steering (builds muscles I have been told)
