My '63 Restomod Build
Where to begin? Well, the saying third time's a charm. I've had 2 other 63s prior to this one. The first one was a short bed, big back window, custom deluxe cab with many options. Swapped a 350/700 in it and came as close as needing a drive shaft and wiring to make it a driver before life happened. Wife and I needed to move out of state and sold that one for way too cheap.
![]() Few years went by, we had kids and you know how that goes. Couple years later we found a project 1963, super cheap. Cheap enough that we brought it home and tore it down the next day just to find out it had a bent frame. Parted that out, made some cash while holding on to a few good parts. Few more years went by. It's now been at least 12 years since the first truck. Looking back, I yearned for that same configuration. Short bed, big back window, deluxe cab. Man, you know the saying.. don't know what you got until it's gone. ![]() I was searching the web one day just to see what was out there. Really wasn't even thinking about buying yet since I was about to leave on orders. I wanted something that was a driver so we could actually enjoy it while doing things to it here and there. Then I found what we've came to call Ol' Blue. I know, very original right? It's not a short bed big back window, but it will get there. Anyway, everyone likes pictures so here they are. ![]() ![]() Got it plated and took my oldest to the car wash ![]() Last edited by 0ldSoul; 04-02-2020 at 09:15 PM. |
