The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk '63 Chevy long fenderside

Man, I haven't been around to Stovebolt land in while...place looks a little different!!

A good friend of mine purchased this truck for his dad in NC. They dragged it to Tacoma, WA and then drove it from Tacoma to Juneau AK (well, they drove it as far as they could then took the fairy to Juneau)

They are the third owner....the second purchased it from the original owner but only had it for about 18 months. Has the original 235 in liner and 3 on the tree. No rust and just a couple of minor dents. The second owner did hack up the dash to add a CD player (I wish they wouldn't do that!)

Enjoy these photos....they are fantastic!!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot...that's 1300 lbs. of "stuff" in the bed!

Nice looking truck from the south end. 8^) That rear bumper is a find not many have it. If it is a 63 it shouldn't have a 235, it should be a 230 or possibly a 292. When you say fender side, I assume you mean step-side. Sorry to hear about the dash.

Yeah, I suppose I should have used the Chevy nomenclature for the box (step side v. fender side). I'm just too used to the GMC terminology I guess.

I'm taking my friend's word for it that it's a 235. Of the other two displacements, I'd guess 230 before 292.

Being a GMC, it should have the 305 V6. The 230 inline 6 was a delete option, though.

Sorry about the confusion...it's a Chevy.

Duhhhh, I shoulda looked closer, it says CHEVROLET right on the tailgate!! In that case, though, it would be a 230, not a 235.

Sweeeeet, I love seeing them still on the road. We just need more of em.
