1963 C10 Build Starting...... "Francis" - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So we are starting a new build for our shop. We picked up a 1963 C-10 that has virtually no rust, and from an original owner. We waited for the right truck and were rewarded for our patience. The build will consist of a ground up restoration. All Porterbuilt bagged suspension. The truck will be powered by an LS3 twin turbo with an automatic suspension. The original paint will be left alone, we will wet sand all the oxidation off, but the chassis, Interior and engine bay will be completed thoroughly. The idea is to build a nice driver that isn't so over the top that people can't feel its attainable or affordable, but also fast. So stay tuned for the build. This will be well documented. Free T-Shirt if you can tell me where this truck picture was taken.... But you may need to be from AZ.

Not Nogales... We do plan to keep the turbos on the smaller side so that we can keep it under control.. But who doesn't want to be able to just rip it whenever you can..

Prescott? Nice truck, hard to find a short bed fleet.
