Re: Hello Guys and Gals!
I have considered going that route but haven't looked into it closely yet. I don't know that I'll do anything beyond the exhaust, 2 barrel set-up and other stuff I mentioned before. I know I'm not until my truck is finished anyhow. That is unless a part dies and necessitates a repair/upgrade. I don't like to simply repair anything. If something breaks once, even if it's because it had 200,000 miles on it I will upgrade it so it doesn't happen again... My truck is my top priority and my true love. I am and most likely always will a Chevy man through and through. I bought the little Dodge because I was looking for an economical, comfy cruiser that still had style and seeing as I love green when I saw this car with the shiny new paint I instantly liked it. It's my first Mopar and I do like driving it but I don't think it's going to make me convert to a Mopar man anytime soon... Thanks for the suggestions though and especially the link. I have looked at their Chevy overdrive trannys before but never their Mopar trannys. I have a 700-R4, B&M Trans-Pak, converter lock-up controller and everything else needed to go OD on my '63. I would have already installed it but I've decided to just wait until I start my frame off and do it then. It has a fresh Turbo 350 in it now, when I got the truck the trans had went out and the previous owner had bought a remanufactured trans, pulled out the old one and just set the engine and tranny back in the truck. I just had to bolt everything back down and hook it all up, which took all of one Saturday afternoon. I got it tagged that Monday and drove it to work Tuesday! I haven't had the first problem aside from leaky wheel cylinders since. Which I removed and installed front discs. I plan to install rear discs as well when I start the restification. Thanks again

Re: Hello Guys and Gals!
Thanks. All these compliments mean a lot from you guys. You all have some sweet rides. Some of you are the very guys who are my inspiration to build my truck. I've done a lot to mine but sometimes it feels like I haven't even started yet. I have tried to keep it a driver the whole time thus far but as soon as my garage is built it is coming off the road then off the frame so I can finally start the upgrades and proper restoration I've been wanting to do since day one.

Re: Hello Guys and Gals!
No, just the narrow strip between the narrow and wide moldings that starts on the doors and goes down the sides of the bed.

Re: Hello Guys and Gals!
Just checked out your ride. Your's doesn't have the molding on the sides like mine has. (for now) I'm gonna ditch mine as well when I officially start the bodywork. At least that's the plan for now. It is subject to change.

Re: Hello Guys and Gals!
Molding your talking about that strip of chrome that runs down the bed side right? I'd like to install it, but haven't decided if I want to drill all those holes to install it.

Re: Hello Guys and Gals!
You have a sweet ride, for sure. Looks like your a lot further along in the process than I am. Although I'm going in a totally different direction with mine than you went with yours. Love yours though. How wide are your rear wheels? Look like around 10 inches maybe???
