The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks 1963 C20

Hey everyone, here's a link to some pics of the beginnings of my 63 C20 I just got. It's in better shape than it looks. lol. I'm keeping the patina look. It has most of it's parts tucked away in the camper there. I'm getting rid of that as soon as I can get some muscle to take it off. I got it from a buddy of mine that has a few of them and couldn't keep them all. The motor has been rebuilt in the last year and ran in a different truck a few times. It's a 350 with 327 heads. The other truck was a rust bucket so he was doing a swap into this one. Should be fun.

Two years have gone by and I'm finally ready to tear into this truck. They sure sit longer than we want them to. I'm a bit of a novice here too. lol I was hard headed about wanting to do a ground build. Not a complete restore but a custom build. An old timer talked some sense into me to get it drivable first. I'm glad he got through this thick skull. Now I've changed what I want to do. It came with a bed full of parts. Most of them are there although I'll need an exhaust. It has the stock manifolds but the pipes were cut for a quick engine swap. I sold the one that came with it because it didn't fit my previous plans. But it fits my plan now so go figure. haha! It's going to need a wiring harness, hoses, and lines. I'm off to do some shopping.
Thanks for looking. Hopefully it's not two years before you hear from me again.
