Your truck is looking amazing. Keep having fun with it and sending us the new pictures that you take of it. I have to say that I love it!

Thanks, that's what I was going for. As I said, I might get new caps but I really like the looks of it like it is.

How do you like the DEI header wrap? I have used their spark plug boots, but never used the header wrap. Truck is looking great!!!!

Thanks guys! The DEI header wrap is pretty nice. I like the titanium because of the dark silver appearance and you don't need to spray it with anything like you do other wraps.

A few small updates and a couple more show pics...

I finally got my Porterbuilt hood hinge strut upgrade installed. It turned out to be a bit more challenging than I thought it would but it came out alright...

At Good Guys last weekend my driver's door window came out of its track down inside the door. After I got it home and took it apart I found this...

This is the channel that bolt to the back edge of the door on the inside. I hopped on this site and got some advice and this is how I fixed it...

Now for some more pics. This is my truck with 2 of my friends' trucks at Super Summit...

After the show at another friends house for a cookout..

We went to The Tilted Kilt for dinner last Saturday after leaving The Good Guys show...

Yeah, no problem. They are 20"x8" with 4.5" BS. Tires are 245/40/15.

Thanks. You have to look pretty closely but you can barely see the truck in there.

Yeah, there are a few of us in here. More in the 67-72 section though I think.

I figured there was some. I have always seen 67-72's floating around. Not many 60-66.

What the heck was I on that day? I don't think a 245/40/15 is going to fit a 20" rim. 245/40/20 does though.

1963c-10 · 07-15-2015, 09:40 AM

Great pics!!!

likaroc13 · 07-15-2015, 02:08 PM

Good to see an update from you. The truck continues to look killer.

creep · 04-22-2018, 11:52 AM

Yep. 4.5" backspacing.

creep · 03-28-2020, 10:26 AM

Dang, it's been a long time since I've been on here!

There's just a few minor changes to the 63. I put the trim rings on my wheels and just finished installing a Street Demon 750 carb ( still needs a test drive and some minor tuning I think ). I've just been doing small things that I've been putting off for a very long time.

Big changes in life though; met a girl, got a french bulldog, got engaged and had a baby ( yes in that order

).

I will try to post more pics later on.
