ChiefRocka, I was hoping for a pic request. Could you show how you ran the wires to the horn relay and maybe a pic of your gauges? Thanks.

I enjoyed this thread a lot.

There should of been a pic of that somewhere back in this thread....I drilled a hole near the firewall stock connector and ran the wires under the fenderwell, then back out the front to the relays.

I mounted the relay in that location for ease of install, close to lights, and with the intention of install the cover plates...

....

Here's a crappy shot of my Summit guages...and my 30MM shifter. I went with this size, as I thought the other ones were too tiny....

Hey Chief! What size tire you runnin? By looks of the spare say 600-16 Bias ply?

**ChiefRocka** · 06-28-2008, 09:17 AM

My tires are G78-15's.....the spare is also a 15" but I think it a 600 or something...not sure.

64c20crewcab · 06-28-2008, 11:40 AM

it got the right look!!!

i thought bout runnin bias ply meats as i did on my 63 Caddy. rode down the road just fine. but with this big rig of mine i think i need to roll with some radials.

**ChiefRocka** · 06-28-2008, 12:51 PM

Yeap, I agree radials for sure.

I went with these because they were cheap, and it's the look I wanted to go with.

As with the 520-13 and 14's on lowriders , I've always like the squared of look of the tread.

Someday, I'll get some radial wide-whites.

But for now....she looks cool.

The wheels are the stocks off of a '69 C-10.....I'm sure they are similar to that of a '63, but I'm not positive.

Chief!

You need this!

Tim64 · 07-09-2008, 11:58 AM

That thing would look sweet riding behind the Chief.

**ChiefRocka** · 07-10-2008, 12:32 AM

That thing is nice...better not show that to the wife....she's been wanting one of those for a long time !!!

Man that WOULD look sweet behind the Chief !!!

low900rr · 07-31-2008, 11:17 PM

Great job!!! I just looked through every page. Heres a pic of my old 66 with a white grill.

**ChiefRocka** · 08-01-2008, 12:32 AM

Cool man...Nice truck...

Looks like your a first time poster...Welcome aboard !!!

I always wondered what it would look like with a red roof....Looks cool.

I think I'm gonna stick with a white roof...I might go with the white grill, though.

You said look at my 'old' truck...did you mean a truck that you don't have anymore, or the truck you got thats old ??

low900rr · 08-01-2008, 05:47 PM

I sold that one last spring. The red stripe on the side and the top was heavy metal flake red. I just bought a 64 the other day to start on again. Cant decide on paint yet and I gotta slam it yet, get some whitewalls for it and put the motor and trans back in it.
