# 2853 From Bumper : About four years ago, I traded my 1992 Chevy S-10 for this 1963 Chevy half ton short bed. When I got it, the motor was bad and it had a 3 speed manual transmission. Rather than rebuild the original, I decided to replace the motor with a mildly built 350 V8 that I put together along with a freshly rebuilt Turbo 350 at the same time. Since then, it's been difficult to find the time to work on it because I love driving it so much that I made it my daily driver. I have been having nothing but fun ever since. Because of this, it's sort of turned into a slow resto, but I do hope it'd be close to 100% finished in about two more years. The picture is about a year old. The rust on the passenger door is fixed. I installed bucket seats from a 2003 Chevy truck so i could put my son in it with me. I took the bed off to start on the frame in the back. I sold the bed to a friend with a 1964.
Sounds like a cool truck -- I know many would agree. Thanks for your service on our behalf. Hopefully, someone out there will eyeball a box while you are busy with other important matters. ~ Editor
