For the past few months, I have been gathering the parts to rebuild my '69 C10 and swap in an LSx. This Sunday, I awoke to find no truck in my driveway. A friend of a friend has a '63 LWB stepside that he is willing to sell for a reasonable price. I understand that the frames are basically the same, so I can keep my mounts, etc., but what about other differences? For example, how is parts availability for the earlier trucks? The windshield is massive and looks expensive - is that true? Any pitfalls I should watch for? Or would I be better off to look for another '67-'72?
