Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build
It's the Baer Remaster, in their standard gray finish. Of course, we are a dealer if we can help.
Thanks! Thanks! It will be there at LST 2016. Truck or frame, bring it! |

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build
Dropped the truck off at Pro Dyno for some final tuning. While there, they made me a sweet upper radiator hose. It can difficult finding the right hose to fit perfectly when doing these engine swaps.

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build
A shot I took before heading out to the show this last Saturday. Had a good time and truck drove great. Was able to put about 150 miles on it, but still have a lot of little things to work out. No major problems though.

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build
Thanks. My wife does photography and has a really nice camera, so I want her to eventually take some better photos when it is all done. Well, they are never done, but at least with the bed wood in and the hood on.
Thanks. Work is really busy this week, so may not get a chance to put it in. I leave for the Des Moines and Columbus Goodguys show Friday, so may have to wait until I get back. |

Haha... Yeah, but I just want to go to a 275, since I am only running a 245 right now.

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build
What an awesome looking truck, Travis. Great progress too.
Do you have any close up shots of your brake lines from the top of the drivers frame rail up to the prop valve/master?

I don't specifically, but left for the mid-west shows already. I will see if Nick back at the office can grab some photos. I basically used bulkhead fittings, and then ran soft line up to the master. Thanks! Unfortunately it won't, as it just won't fit in the trailer with our new displays. I wish I did have the room and was able to bring it. |

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build
It does, but its a standard black knob. I have the sswitch, bezel and knob. Will get it out in the mail tomorrow. Just pm your address again and dont worry about the cost....I can drop it in a small flat rate box.
At least it will fill the void and you can upgrade the knob to a deluxe when you find one. Ill keep my eyes peeled too.
