Well I finally got a patina 63 BBW custom short bed - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Except for sitting so dang high, I would say it is perfect. 63 is my favorite year, still has the wrap-around windshield and has coil spring suspension up front.

Leave it alone. It's perfect just like it is.

Dont you worry about that. We will drop this dukey, it my take a little while (they sometimes do) but dropping a dukey is what we're gonna do. Here is what I was thinking

Turkey · 08-10-2012, 04:35 PM

the 'vette moved because it wasn't in the same class as such a killer looking ride.

Iron-Butt · 08-10-2012, 06:46 PM

Nice truck.

MikeS. · 08-10-2012, 07:21 PM

Really nice truck. You're gonna have to name it 'vette killer.

creep · 08-10-2012, 08:07 PM

Killer!

C-10cutty · 08-11-2012, 06:50 AM

That Ford just doesn't seem to fit in...........I'd take it off your hands if that would help.

Nice '63

Dinos63 · 08-11-2012, 04:30 PM

Yeah this maybe a keeper, bob said if i don't it lowered soon I'll end up selling it. Better start cutting springs. Im going to bag it, but want to get the wagon bagged first. The red one went down the road yesterday. It was a fun truck, miss it.

Thanks but I think the wife would leave me if I sold that one. The ford would be the last to go. Has a chevy 350/7004 so its a chevy to me.

Beautiful Truck! Congratulations

Well here is a little update on old Duke. I got it lowered down some last week. Still needs to be lower, but its a start.

likaroc13 · 08-22-2012, 07:49 PM

looks great! i know you're anxious to get it slammed, but i'd be happy rolling just like that

Malibob · 08-22-2012, 08:19 PM

Eh... this is your captain speaking, we noticed a drop in cabin pressure and loss of altitude. Pretty soon I think we will be hitting the ground. Please stay in your seats and keep your seatbelts fastened. MAYDAY-MAYDAY!

C/10 King · 08-22-2012, 08:27 PM

Breathtaking!!! You can't beat a 63' short fleet biggie!

glos55 · 08-23-2012, 12:18 PM

I'm in love with duke!!!

Bazooka · 08-23-2012, 01:05 PM

LOVE that truck. That is some awesome patina.

Do those center caps pop right on to the stock wheels with no modifications? I have seen those on a few c10 trucks really like the look of them.

I'm also curious how much you lowered ol duke?

Yeah they snap right on. I think there 65-66 chevelle,nova caps.

I lowered the rear with 5 in drop springs & took a round & half out of the coils. I can go a little more in the frt. I may take a little more to get the frt down 1/2 in more.
