63 Short Fleet Build
Hi all,

I've been following the site for a while and would like to share my project. Its a 63 short fleet custom cab. I've got the C4 Dropmember and rear Dropmember with a LS1 to drop in it. I'll try to post as I make progress.

As I bought it

and I got the front set up on today

Re: 63 Short Fleet Build
Cool project. Gotta love those C4 Dropmembers. Are you running the C4 rear or the parallel 4-bar DM rear?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: 63 Short Fleet Build
You started with a cool truck. The 63 BBW CC Short fleet is one of my favorites!

That frame looks really nice. I'll be watching this one with interest!

Re: 63 Short Fleet Build
It's been a while but i've made a bit of progress... Motor and transmission, did a posi in the rear, and set up the 4 link and some temporary airlines for the bags. Sheet metal work is done on the cab and got one side suicided and shaved the drip rails.

Re: 63 Short Fleet Build
That's looking awesome

I've wanted to do suicide doors on a '60-'63 cab but just never have the time. I can't wait to see more progress.
