I'm not sure what I want to do with my C10, a 350 that looks like a 283, or an LS based motor. It almost got my LT1, but when my wagon's 307's head gasket started leaking, that was that.
Looks good. Can't beat fuel injection. I think the LS based motor would be nice.

Re: 63 SWB C10 LT1/4L60E Swap

Worked on my bed. Now I'll sand blast the bed, spray with epoxy sealer and apply filler to get good and straight. Last I'll spray on high build primer to make sure its perfect.

Nice work!!!

Yes it was. Thought I was going have to replace the bed panel. The only options are a long bed patch panel and cut it down. Really didn't want to do that. It actually came out really straight.

Thanks chad64, right now I'm wanting to paint it corvette jet stream blue. Wanting it to look like this picture . Might do some silver to break it up.
There's a car show May 4th and trying to get the bed done or at least in primer so I can enter show. It will be a work in progress at the show.

Nice work, I'm following your build cause I also have a 63 and the LT1/l460e that's sitting in my shop that's going in. But at this point I'm working on my wife's 66 that I have to finish first.
