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...

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 · 07-16-2015, 11:53 AM

Found another pic from Good Guys.

rpone605 · 07-16-2015, 12:50 PM

Nice looking truck. Good to see more people that are semi close to me. I'm east of Cleveland.

**CHIZZLER** · 07-16-2015, 08:29 PM

Been diggin this truck for a long time. Its part of the reason I made my crew cab a long bed. Was hoping you could share the specs on the mob steel wheels. Im sure there 20"s. how about back spacing and tire size. CHIZZLER

duallyjams · 07-16-2015, 09:00 PM

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.

creep · 08-11-2015, 01:35 PM

Keep an eye out for footage from the next season of "Fat and Furious" shot from a camera mounted to my truck. You may even see my truck in the background or in some drone shots. They were filming an episode about a 63 Impala at a car show we went to.

We seen these 2 really nice Chevys at a restaurant on the way home from the show and there just happened to be a free spot next to them.

I took a few shots before stuffing it back away for the night.

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.

creep · 11-14-2015, 11:47 AM

A friend of mine sent me this pic from the Nov. issue of Street Trucks...

creep · 11-14-2015, 11:51 AM

And another friend sent me this one from a Summit Racing ad in a local magazine...

likaroc13 · 11-14-2015, 03:39 PM

Whoa, you're famous now for sure!

Congrats!

creep · 11-16-2015, 12:12 PM

Thanks.

Bigdock · 05-20-2017, 05:38 PM

I know this is a bit old but is the width of the chevelle reared narrower than that of a 12 bolt? Trying to get some wheels ordered but having a hard time measuring backspace without a bed to see what'll clear

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.

**Corts60** · 04-16-2020, 06:43 PM

Glad to see you're back and congrats on everything! I disappeared on here for a few years myself. During that time I married and we have one in the oven. Nice to see a lot of the same people still hanging around.

Truck is killer, as always. I like the trim rings.
