63 build advice please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I have my new to me 63 sitting in storage. I'm debating about where to start with it. I've been reading/obsessing this site for a while.

To make an inexpensive driver, I'm leaning toward a static drop of 2-4 inches. I also want 5 lugs and disc brakes. I may go with a SBC Chevy over the 6 and someday install a 5.3.

I may grab a 75 C10 to be my "organ" donor. It is in great running and driving condition (350 SBC) and is nearly rust free. After I get what I need I can sell all the body parts.

Your thoughts? Is the 75 a good move?
