Well after asking for opinions I did what I usually do.. What I want. After much debate on keep rockers or go to the door and eliminate all the rust we decided to go to the doors. I am going to be putting strapping down under the actual door/part of the rocker. Thinking maybe 1/4. So while I was teaching Dave got started on the rear of the frame 4" to match how far the body will travel down total. 2" for what we took off the top of the frame under the cab and 2" more for the body drop to get down to about the doors.

I started cramming the drivetrain in. It was the hardest part of the job so far. You wouldn't think shoving a 95 engine into an 84 K member mounted to a 63 Chevy would be so difficult. Haha

Tomorrow includes tranny crossmember, front frame horns, and re installing the front suspension. Then I'm getting it out of his shop and get started on the body work and floors. Don't think I'll make the show next weekend. But I'm going to try. Haha

Got it set back down. Still need to cut the floors out to get it to sit all the way down.

Cut the floors out. They were all rotted and not worthy of keeping. I added a brace behind the "cab" which kept everything in place.

Hopefully I'll have enough clearance with the hood. The body is still coming down roughly 2". It's gonna be close.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
So this weekend consists of a lot of floor building.

Not as much progress as I would like (as in it should be done by now. Lol). I was fighting myself and overthinking things and would start the floors one way and change my mind and whatnot. That happened for several days. Now the truck is outside the weather has also been fighting me. Here's a few pics anyways.

Here's how much will be under the doors. I didn't want the weight of the vehicle to be on the doors. I want to be able to open to doors while fully laid out.

And the start of the floors
|
Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Well sorry for the lack of updates. Progress has been very slow with many headaches. Currently I am trying to get a brake pedal in the thing. I had to cut off the actual pedal as it was hitting the floor not allowing me to press it down.
