Picked up a 63 C10, Solf my Ford

Hi everyone.

Just bought a 63 C10 2WD. Sold my 78 F150 after deciding I didn't wanna spend the kinda money on the F150 it would take to drop it a few inches. Found this C10 for a good price and always loved this body style. It has a 230 straight six and a 3 speed. I am planning on bagging it and stuffing a small block chevy down in it.

Just wanted to say thanks for a good forum and I hope to learn much from you all.

People say "As we get older we get wiser". You proved that by selling the Ford. Welcome and enjoy the ride.
