1963 Back to original
This 63 Step side truck was my first automobile, I got it in 1979 at 15 years old. I recently found it after looking for it of and on for 20 years. I
have been restoring it back to original. Here are some pictures of what I started with and where I am now. I paid $800 in 79 for it and will have $5000 in it soon just trying to get it back. I am doing a frame out restoration. |

Re: 1963 Back to original
It is easy to justify spending money when you are attached. I am afraid to figure up what I have in mine already.

Re: 1963 Back to original
How about a little more detail on the search for the truck? I have never found my 1st truck, but really haven't tried. But I have tracked down the factory original engine for my 72 Nova.
