Newbie with a 63

Hey guys,
I was just given a 63 with a 283. I'm very new to the classic truck scene. I've never even owned a vehicle with a carb, but very excited. I was told last time the truck ran it had a small electrical fire under the hood, which shouldn't be hard to fix. I'll be searching a lot and this site looks to have a lot of info. Enjoy the pics,
Mark

Re: Newbie with a 63

Welcome to the forum Mark

That looks like a decent truck. An uncut dash and looks like a pretty straight grill.

Re: Newbie with a 63

The straight grill alone is invaluable since you cant buy a reproduced one for a 63. Definitely a better start than most. Welcome to the board from South New Mexico

Given to you! GIVEN TO YOU! Now I'm mad! Truck looks great. Have fun. We never tire of pictures, how about some from under the hood?
