Few Pics of My 62
I just realized I've been on this board a couple years now and never posted any pics of my truck. It's a 62 with a 61 grille. Really would like to find a 60-61 Chevy hood for it. In the past year since I've had it I have gone thru the brakes, swapped the rear end for a D44 from a 61 GMC, added a dual master cyl, dropped in a low mileage 350 engine and trans from a 73 C20, replaced rockers, and tons of other little things that I can't remember right now. Has Jeep springs out back and I have had the torsion bars cranked down alot in the past but couldn't stand the ride so I raised the front end back up. I think it looks a little meaner with the way it sits now anyway.

Re: Few Pics of My 62
Looks good!!! I have to admit, if my truck had the original hood I would have passed on it. Im not a big fan of the early hoods but I do like the knee knockers!!

Re: Few Pics of My 62
Thanks guys! 61flapache-I've been admiring your truck on here for a while now and had mine sitting that low at one time but I guess I'm just not used to driving lowered trucks, mine scraped everywhere and rode terrible!

Re: Few Pics of My 62
I Like it thanks for posting some pictures of your truck, I used to rock the tail drag look on my first 50's car, until i learned how to cut the front springs

Re: Few Pics of My 62
Thanks for posting pics, your truck looks great. I looked for a 1960 Chevy hood for my GMC for about 15 years and never came up with one in good enough condition to buy. Eventually I came to prefer the late Chevy hood better. Good luck on finding one, I do think it would make a nice addition.

Re: Few Pics of My 62
Was the rear end swap hard? I have access to a junk 61 that has the dana rear end. I noticed the shock mounting location was different. How about the length compared to the 63 12 bolt? Are they about the same length?

Re: Few Pics of My 62
Those both will be the same width (length), but not a direct bolt in. The trailing arms are farther apart on the '60-'62's as compared to the '63-'72's. May I ask why you would want to change a 12 bolt for a weaker Dana 44?
