Another newbie
Just joined but I have been a lurking for awhile. A couple of months ago I picked-up a 6 cylinder, 3 spd manual, manual steering & manual brake 63 Chevy 2wd short box fleetside as a winter project. I have slowly over the years learned that it is best to have the wife on board & she actually found this truck. The plan was to add power disc brakes, power steering, a V-8 & air conditioning to make it more wife friendly. Currently the front clip is off, it has a 80 c10 front crossmemeber & steering box installed & will be getting a 454 with a 700r4. I will post some pictures as soon as I figure out how to do that.

Re: Another newbie
I did not take any pcitures when we first bought it. I found these shots on the internet when owned by the previous owner.

Re: Another newbie
Welcome!!!!! Cool truck!! Looking at your pics and noticed that your front sway bar brackets are on backwards. Dont know if it makes much difference or not.
