My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
So since I'm done (for now) with my 63 Stepper "EZ Eight" and my 70 C10 is now a citizen of Australia
![]() Here's Frank sitting next to EZ Eight and starting to get piled in... ![]() And here's my former 70 C10 that now resides in Australia ![]() Last edited by NVS-C10; 12-15-2015 at 04:03 PM. |

Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
So now that Frank is in a place where I can work on him, I dusted him off and checked out where I left off and what's next on the list. I also installed some freshly powder coated stockers and new rubber.
![]() I had already finished most the front suspension and my next steps should be rear suspension then the 283/Powerglide drive train. ![]() Last edited by NVS-C10; 12-15-2015 at 09:17 PM. |

Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
OK some updates...
Got my CPP notches in (you can see the template I made on the floor in the background: ![]() Shipping was free and super-fast (1-day), fitment was spot on, and the only hard part of the job I could say was getting out (fighting lol) the factory rivets ![]() |

Drill and bolt in...
![]() They line up good with the frame and fit nice next to the CPP notches... you can also see the CPP Deluxe Trac Bar installed with 2" CPP Drop Blocks. ![]() ![]() |

Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
Best part is the shock angle looks really good so they should function the best they can...

Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
Well I worked on a few different items but kind of bounced back and forth between; not fully finishing any one item.
I got the engine and trans in but still need to bolt on some more items and then will post pics. I also started on the bed floor but wasn't able to finish with the holidays.. will post pics when complete. So not to leave you without any pics; here's one I took on Sunday of the rear sitting a hair above driving height. The front is static drop and the rear will be bagged (currently the rear is blocked up to estimated ride height). ![]() Last edited by NVS-C10; 01-05-2016 at 08:57 PM. |

Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
Got motor and trans in..
![]() I used the CPP Trans crossmember and it worked great with my Powerglide; and I can use the same crossmember and mount if I want to upgrade to 700R4 later on. ![]() ![]() |

Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
Also since this chassis was originally fitted with a 3-Speed Manual Trans, I had to find an original Powerglide frame pivot bracket (that was a search lol).
![]() I setup the starter for a remote starter solenoid and added a large 4-gauge ground strap for increased engine and starter grounding. ![]() |
