Delmo · 08-03-2011, 10:55 AM

Conrgats Pat. You and Fabian are going to be like a couple kids with new bikes soon. Hahaha.

DRTYRAT30 · 08-03-2011, 11:25 AM

Nice truck man, i love the 63'zzzz. cant wait to see it progress

63 & 64 Bowties · 08-03-2011, 02:44 PM

Nice score!!
Oh, and you may want to add "new tag brackets" to your to-do list

That's some of the coolest video editing I've ever seen on that YouTube video. Who did that, Fabian?

Apache63 · 08-18-2011, 05:00 PM

Yes , Fabian did the Video!

did some little work on the truck , fix the Exhaust install a new muffler (no muffler anywhere exhaust ended after Cab) , new inside mirror , fix some cooling leaks....

and painted my new cluster!!!!

gostranger · 08-19-2011, 07:06 AM

Apache63 · 08-20-2011, 12:44 PM

before:

after:

i take´s 4hours to make everything fit .........i´m getting old

**jocko** · 08-20-2011, 02:17 PM

Hey.... that speedo makes it look like you're parked on the autobahn! Ha. Great pics, thanks for posting. Really like the new wheel tire combo - black rims n skinny whites look nice. As for the steerin wheel upside down - I personally couldn't do that becuase I'd be afraid I'd be going down the road and not be able to resist the sudden urge to yank it back upright! Might put myself into a t-phone pole with that thing... Looks cool, thanks for posting the progress!

**Captainfab** · 08-20-2011, 11:11 PM

Looks much better Pat

Is the PCM attached to the passenger side inner fender, or is it just sitting there?

Yep ,it´s great , but you`re right , when the compressor is on , the whole Truck vibrates and rattles your glasses off your Nose..............

it´s terrible ...........

fryer1979 · 08-24-2011, 07:03 AM

So cool to see our old pickups being enjoyed world wide.

I've been across the pond a couple times, and it always makes my day to run across some old American iron on the road. Cool pickup bud, can't wait to see her all done.

Apache63 · 08-31-2011, 02:19 PM

Thanks ´i´ll do my best!!!

got some new parts from POL !!!!

**Clyde65** · 08-31-2011, 05:02 PM

POL sent you a green floor and a leaf? how cool!

JK, congrats Apache, love seeing your posts.

padresag · 08-31-2011, 05:58 PM

Kerlijah · 09-01-2011, 03:09 AM

LT1 Burb · 09-01-2011, 09:55 AM

That is pretty cool, maybe you can start a new import export business. You export TDI Passats and I will export 60-66 chevy trucks.
