Re: My 63

Welcome to the forum

So if I understand correctly, you're going to start over with the frame? That frame looks to me like it would be right on the ground once all the weight of a complete truck was on it.

Re: My 63

Good luck with your build. How many license plates are grafted into your floorboard?

Re: My 63

Re: My 63

I didn't even think about it being step side. I believe most guys are running them on the inside the frame.

Re: My 63

With that z'd front frame you could mount a blower or a tunnel ram on your motor, cut a hole in the hood and have one awesome looking set-up....

Re: My 63

well I can tell you I'm not green with envy. wheels look good though. How long are your lower link bars. And what you going to do to keep it centered?
