Nice truck, we have alot of the same mods. I hope to get mine to lay that low. I'm doing body mods first, then while friends are helping with finishing body work, then I'll work on the frame

The truck and all your mods look great! I almost forgot it was a long bed

I just picked up a 63 SWB and when I was looking it over I could not belive how easy the drip rail shave will be. I have done the 67-72's and not alot lines up real well but these trucks it all lines up and leaves you with even better lines. Nice work!

Slmd92DIME · 12-05-2007, 10:24 AM

Did your firewall have to be tubbed for the 20s? Were the hood hinges in the way with 20s?

L0WRIDE · 12-05-2007, 01:35 PM

I haven't had to tub the fire wall at all I don't think the factory
would work that well so i took the easy option thanx

Iron-Butt · 12-05-2007, 01:55 PM

Nice work, The truck looks great.

Slmd92DIME · 12-05-2007, 03:05 PM

Did you move your motor forward 3.5 inches?

L0WRIDE · 12-05-2007, 03:12 PM

pass when i got the 65 she had no motor or motor mounts so we made mounts and made the big block fit from momory i think i've got about 1-2'' from the back of the rocker cover to the firewall hope this helps
