Your working fast Boat,looking good
That does look like the relocated original
Not sure if the shortbeds were setup the same or not,but my longbed has a separate crossmember for the E brake(behind the trans member)

I really like your use of a engine hoist and wood frame to remove the cab.

Great idea which I will steal when it comes time for my project.

I seen this engine hoist design on this sight but added two extra bars, works great.

did you use the stock frame mount for the panhard bar?

the panhard bar came with the bottom mount and a spacer for the other side, the top mount is stock, i had to cut the bracket off the axle to make it work

Nice build you've got going. What headers are you running?

boat · 11-28-2010, 02:26 PM

Headers are made by Mr gasket, and coated with VHT

poncho_villa · 11-29-2010, 08:09 PM

Looks real nice. Wouldn't it be great if it always stayed that clean? Any details on the engine?

loving this build! i'll be keeping a close eye on it. 63 short fleet is one of my all time favorite trucks.

Dudewith4x4 · 01-03-2011, 02:12 AM

Pretty engine you got there. One thing you ought to do with the headers is use a torch and heat treat the paint and use alot coats of the paint so it'll last a long time. Just my .02

The truck looks really good man!
