so i went to sell my old car and this pice of crap followed me home

[robtech]

traded my old DD for this beastie....1960, 235 i6, column shift...little bit of rust but not too bad at all...runs and drives great...love it. i've wanted a 60-66 for a LONG time.

plan is to swap to a newer crossmember, get rid of the torsion bars and go lower, then bodywork and paint. really want to BBW swap her if can find a good donor...and put an 5spd trans behind the 235.

Looks like a solid truck. Whats in the back?

[Bulldoser65]

X2, does look like a solid truck.

I wanna do some of the same stuff to my 65. I wanna do a 5 speed in mine also, but Im rocking a 350 backed by a 3 speed right now, and its my DD

[markeb01]

Good for you, nice starting place. I've always liked the 63 grille best of the 60-66 Chevys.

There is a complete 71-72 5 lug disk brake set up at the pick n pull on Mowry in Newark Ca, just saw it yesterday

[robtech]

it is pretty solid...guy at my work said his pops has a wrecked "same truck as yours with a bigger back window" at his house he wants gone...gonna get pics for me this weekend but i guess it was all bagged and what not and he totaled the frame some how...so sounds like i might have a parts truck on the way.

whats in the back is my 2.25" up rigid harley frame for my ironhead project.

[Bulldoser65]

I also like the 63 grille. Been think about trying to find one for my 65.......or just sticking with a 65 grille, not sure yet.

Cool another local gearhead, what`s your plans for it, we just had a small get together, about 12/13 trucks 60/66 showed up....

[62 Bowtie]

Damm strays get ya everytime with their sad puppy eyes
cool truck btw glad to see another local stepper

[robtech]

nice you'll hafta let me know when the next gathering is, i'd definately like to head out for it.

[fryer1979]

Very cool '63.

Sac. area gatherings huh? I'd come down the mountains to visit and hang a bit.

[Rich 5150 69]

We`ll have to make it a full day for you, your about a three hour cruise, ( sorta like Gillgans island ) anyways we just got started with this we`ll see what we can work out in the future. Rich

[fryer1979]

Love the 3 hour cruise, that's good humor. I'm game man, even if it is and evening or afternoon event it's worth a drive for me. I've driven that way for nothing more than to pick up parts from craigslist purchases, so I'm pretty much down for whatever. It's just a shame that it may be a while before I get to make the trip in my Chevy.

[MacAttack]

Love the new ride! Great score!

[robtech]

so i got a few questions...tries searching but didnt come up with what i was lookin for...

turns out that truck my co-workers pops has is a 64 or a 65 BBW pretty much complete no motor.

will the interior panel for the bbw swap from the 63-66 work in a 60-62 cab? (i know the main diff is the dash/doors/winshield etc...but the back half of the cab looks the same)

im gonna go check it out pretty soon so if anyone local is gonna need 63-66 parts let me know...im only really planning on stealin the bbw/front suspension and rear axle so anything i wont need will be available

[glendale]

i may be interested in some parts. me and three buddies have a small car club and all 3 of us have one of these as our daily driver. so please hit me up. nice truck btw. where abouts in sac are you?

[robtech]

for sure im gonna go check it out (just seen pics) in the next week or 2 and if it's all as good as it looked in the pics i'l pick it up next month when i have some more $$...cuz sadly its not free, close but not quite.

on the rancho side of sac

[glendale]

cool man keep me posted. i'm an orangevale.
