Hello, my name is Dan I live in Western Washington. I am a carpenter/cabinet maker/plumber/electrician and a all around handy man. I am building a 63 Chev Custom Cab SWB. I started this build in 1997 then had a few distraction and am now getting back to it. It has a MKVI 502/442 marine that was line bored square decked heads ported and gasket matched with 67' 435 Corvette 3X2 intake,march serpentine with vintage air, 4L60, 31-spline 9" 4:30 Posi, 4-wheel disc &, Purple Hart bedwood that I custom made. It also has a two-tone powder coated chassis.with a 1973 C-10 front crossmember and power steering box. The fuel tank is out of a late 70's C-10 Van that fit like OEM between the frame rails in the back. I used the van fill tube turned upside down fitted to a 88-98 chev pickup gas door & hardware located aft of the drives rear fender well & looks like OEM. I used a late model s-10 tailgate hardware and fitted it into the 63' tailgate. I did all of the fabrication myself and now it is ready for paint. The truck was from AZ. so it is a rust free rig. I also have a 61' Impala SS 348/350 3X2 4-speed 3:70 posi that I am the 3rd owner of. I am looking forward to meeting all of you and discussing these old trucks.
