Re: New from South Orange County CA
Welcome! We can always use more 3/4 ton owners! Not to mentioned '63 3/4 tons still with original period hubcaps. What's great about original paint is no hidden body work. Wonder if it was Ivory or White? Paint code on kick plate tag. 292's are legendary, one of Chevy's best!

Re: New from South Orange County CA
Nice! Judging by the steering wheel paint, that's a low mileage truck.
Welcome from San Diego! If you decide to go the LS swap/modern transmission route, I want first dibs on the SM420 (original transmission).

Re: New from South Orange County CA
Looks like it was a desert truck, great floors. 292 was the power house back then.

Re: New from South Orange County CA
Anybody notice the original full foam cloth seat?. Seat should have the red vinyl trim also. This reveals it has the custom comfort option.

Re: New from South Orange County CA
Hey everyone, thanks for the welocme.
Current plans... Got it running, just need to fix a few things: muffler better fuel inlet for carburetor get vacuum advance working rear turn signals not working - probably a bulb need to get some 8-lug, 16" wheels that take the modern radial tires need temp sender choke cable fix/attach upper radiator hose registration out of date bench seat needs uphosltery floor mats Need to do the wood slats in the bed - that's going to be an expensive, big job. Down the road, maybe change out the rear end so it will cruise down the freeway better. Possibly change the motor and trans - just not sure at this point in time. |

I used this for the measurements when my dad and I replaced the wood bed without buying a kit. It worked great!

Did you use a router to cut the grooves in the boards? What about hole locations? |

We used a router, but it was a two man job as our routing table was tiny and my truck is also a long bed. If you are asking about the hole locations for the bolts that go through the wood to the frame, I didn't drill them. The previous owner used shorter bolts to just bolt the bed crossmembers to the frame without going through the wood. I think it has a cleaner look that way, but I'm not sure how the previous owner did it since I haven't pulled the bed off.
