Thanks buddy, I think some chrome caps would look a little better but I only had painted ones.

WOW! What a difference you've made to that truck. Looks awesome. What did you do to lower it?

Thanks Fastest, 4 " dropped coils in the rear and adjusted torsion bars in the front, I really would like to put some other wheels on, something like this would look really cool.

No Andy, I sold that 63' about 4 years ago, I was just saying that the slots would look good on this 62'.

Hey Rene what year mirrors are those from on this 62? And can you see decent out if the passenger side one? Very nice find by the way. Nice truck

How much did you loosen your front torsion bars and how much drop did you get up front? Truck looks good.

Thanks

Thanks

Just start by doing a few turns on one side then switch sides, you might have to alternate a couple of times to get it right, I'm thinking that I have about a 5 inch drop on the front and it rides good.

Ok thanks for the info. Did you have to cut your bump stops down?

Not so far.

C/10 King · 10-23-2013, 07:30 PM

Updates,

it's been a while, other than driving the tires off of it, just a couple of small things....... white around the grill and on top, plus a different set of doggies.

**Ol Blue K20** · 10-23-2013, 07:48 PM

I'm jealous, Looks good though...

Great additions! IMO, the white accents always make quite a big improvement on "stock" looking trucks.

duallyjams · 10-23-2013, 08:34 PM

Huh I didn't know you actually have a 62 when I inquired about a grill, I just asked because you have a good network for locating parts.

James, ..... I was wondering

how the heck you knew I wanted to replace my 62' aluminum with my sons 63' aluminum grill, I thought you were reading my mind.

KCCOS · 10-24-2013, 08:06 AM

Looking great!
How come everyone wants to switch out the aluminum 62 grilles out with newer ones? I think the 62's look pretty cool and are very hard to find.

TJ's Chevy · 10-24-2013, 10:19 AM

That's what i was wondering! The 62 grill is fairly rare....especially the oem aluminum ones! And let me think...did they ever make aluminum 62 grills! 63 You can't get a repo, but the bezels are in repo.

My buck and 1/2...
