Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
 

This weekend I should be doing brake lines, fuel lines, finish wiring, then exhaust on Tuesday!!!

Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
 

thanks for bringing you build to my attention. I am really leaning towards CPP since I can get it all local. Place up the road carries pretty much everything.

Maybe Charlie Brown will be accepting of the parts and my curse thus far can be lifted. Great build and thank you for documenting it so well.

Oh and adorable kiddo BTW.

Got the front sheet metal hung this weekend... still need to bolt up grill and front trim.

Here's a pic before Frank was loaded up this morning, off to the exhaust shop!

Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
 

are you installing a tilt steering column? If so, can you share the details? I have a 62 and am wanting to do a tilt with column shift. Any guidance is appreciated!

Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
 

No tilt.. just standard steering column

Lookin sharp:metal:

Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
 

Thanks!

Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
 

Where else do you take a classic truck to get exhaust.. a classic muffler shop!

Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
 

Looking good as always! I like the picture

Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
 

Thanks guys!!

Yesterday was the first time I took Frank out into the public since I started the project.. it was nice bringing Frank out even if it was only a trailer ride to the exhaust shop lmao :lol:

I should be finishing Frank up over the next two or three weeks and hoping to take him to some local shows.

Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
 

could you post up some pics of the exhaust work? I am trying to get some ideas on how I want to route mine when I lower it.

Thanks

Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
 

Plan number one.. get Frank out on the road!!! lol

Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
 

I'll try and get up under Frank this weekend but I ran dual 2" exhaust with turbo mufflers outside the frame rails and exit to the front of the rear wheel wells. All tubing and mufflers do not hang below frame rails.

Here's a pic of the rear wheel well where the passenger side exits.

Wow, looks great!

A lot of attention to detail in the engine bay and air set-up!

What's your plans for paint?

Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
 

Thanks.. other than a little more body panel detailing (color sanding/buffing/waxing/sealing), the paint and body are done.. I built this truck as a patina build.

Re: My 63 SWB BBW Build Frank
 

This truck just has so much attitude :metal:, I love it!
