Another newbie - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

eddie1 · 01-12-2011, 02:57 AM

Just joined but I have been a lurking for awhile. A couple of months ago I picked-up a 6 cylinder, 3 spd manual, manual steering & manual brake 63 Chevy 2wd short box fleetside as a winter project. I have slowly over the years learned that it is best to have the wife on board & she actually found this truck. The plan was to add power disc brakes, power steering, a V-8 & air conditioning to make it more wife friendly. Currently the front clip is off, it has a 80 c10 front crossmemeber & steering box installed & will be getting a 454 with a 700r4. I will post some pictures as soon as I figure out how to do that.

Welcome to the forum

To post pics directly from your computer, just click on the 'manage attachments' located in the 'additional options' box. Then click on 'browse' and that'll take you to your computer. If you have your pics on a internet picture host such as Photobucket, then you will use this icon

and enter the URL of the selected pic from your hosting site.

If you need further help, just holler........
