'62 2.5? ton

[62 C60]

Well, let me start off by saying I'm 14, and a freshman in high school, and this truck will most likely be used for my senior project.

Its a 1962 Chevy C60 (these are 2.5 ton right?) with a straight 6 and a Clark? 5 speed and a 2 spd rear axle. It doesnt have breaks and the axle doesnt shift. (its runs on vacuum, so, maybe a line is unhooked/rotted?) so its not drivable right now. but the best part is, i paid $100 for it and just had to drag it out of the holler it had been sitting in for about 10 years. and i only have another $100 in it.

my plans are:

Engine/drive train:
first things first, POWER STEERING!
sticking with the straight 6. except its getting a bigger one......when i get the money of course (read: CUMMINS)
probably keep the 5 spd thats in it.
keeping the 2spd axle

Exterior:
Im thinking red and white 2 tone.
Black steel flat bed w/ built in goose neck.

Interior:
probably painting the dash white
full autometer gauges
cloth bench seat. or maybe a 20/60/20 (a bench with captains chair backs and a folding console in the middle.)

Custom Stuff:
thinking about grafting another 62 cab onto the back and making it a crew cab.
tilt nose? (still iffy, leaning twards no on that one though)


yeah i know so, this is the only one i have right now. and its about 2 years old.


like the mountain dew bottle gas cap? thats rat rod material right there lol

Also, can anyone tell me what transmission this is if i show your the shift pattern? its really funky.

P.S.
sense im 14 and dont have a job, i probably wont be doing much to this until around this summer.
