New Project!
Just picked this up today,
 factory 1963 Chevy half ton 4x4. Short box, large back window, v8 and 4 speed. Someone started the restoration but didnt finish, body work is so so, interior is pretty good, full gauge dash and check out that custom painted glove box, yep thats hand painted folks!

Re: New Project!
Probably restore it eventually, im currently restoring a 61 GMC 4X4 long box and was planning to use this one for parts if i needed but I think its a little to nice and being its a short box fleetside I think Ill have to fix it up! these old 4x4s are great rigs!

Re: New Project!
Lovin' it! If that was my truck, I'd leave it the way it is, just do what I could to get it running. I like the old rusty look!

Re: New Project!
nice find---i have a 61k--f/s s/b but with a small back window---too nice to part it as was said, not many around. probably not many s/b f/s even built.

Re: New Project!
is that original driveline? Great combo, especially with the big window. Not something you see every day in a 4wd 63. And a 63 2wd big window is quite rare... you're out standing in your field!
