New Guy '62 SWB Photos
Hello all...I've been on here a while now perusing all the info and photos.
Finally got a little bit of time to upload some pics of my new to me '62 C10 SWB. It's from Redding California...a craigslist purchase that I had shipped up to my home in Olympia, Washington. Its a running driver with the original 283 and a T-5 gear box out of a Camaro with an S-10 T-5 tail section installed for the preferred shifter location. Still has the original wood in the bed...this truck is really very well preserved and I'm pretty stoked to be its new owner! Whatta ya think...is she a keeper??

Outstanding! Nice truck, and welcome to the forum. What are your plans? Be sure to take lots of "before" pictures now, before anything/everything changes.

Re: New Guy '62 SWB Photos
Welcome from over here in the UK.
Neat truck. Put it this way, I would happily have pulled the trigger on that one. I see your fenders are as good as mine. Look forward to hearing more about your truck and seeing your progress. You already know this is an awesome forum.

Take care of that seat. It's a '62 Custom Comfort seat. And the '62 grills are my favorite too. Nice truck.

Re: New Guy '62 SWB Photos
Nice truck. Too bad the hood doesn't match. I would drive it as is, a bath of course. Is it blue or seafoam? Pictures through it off.

I'd like to eventually maybe put a crate 350 in it with a 700R4 or 4l80 behind it. I'll keep the 283 in the shop for originality sakes just in case. Probably leave the body as is for a while...like I said, kinda hate to take itoff the road for too long while I'm still having fun playing with it. Quote:
I think its just the cheaper, recirculating version actually. Quote:

Re: New Guy '62 SWB Photos
I work with the guy that you bought it from. He used to drive it to work once in a while. Nice truck and I'm glad it went to a good home.

Re: New Guy '62 SWB Photos
That does look like a nice truck. Definitely keep it drivable as long as you can.

Also noticed you said it has a Camaro T5 with S10 conversion. Me too! I have not driven mine yet but can hardly wait. Congrats on the really nice truck.

The center cap has a large U.S. insignia with a small red white and blue design below it...I have no idea who made them honestly? |

Re: New Guy '62 SWB Photos
100% a keeper! I love it. Now you just have to do a little here, a little there, and make it your own.
