1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

Well I have started a Build thread for my truck that i just picked up from a guy in my town for 3k with some extras. My plans are to tear it down and install a Porterbuilt Dropmember with PB Arms and a Full rear Trailing Arm Dropmember in the back. I have ordered all my parts from Nathan and should be getting them in a few weeks. I will be running a classic steel smoothie rim with bullet caps and white walls. The 350 engine will get rebuilt and warmed up a little. And i will have the TH400 freshend up also. I have included some pictures of inspiration trucks also. I'm sure i will have a few questions for Nate and some of you Dropmembered Guys.

Thanks and enjoy,:alc:

Here are some pictures of my old builds so you get a sense of my style.

First a 1930 Ford model A i found a frame and body shell from a local farmer.

Looking good so far man. I wish i had some Cali RUST FREE trucks to build around here!! keep up the good work

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

what did you have lowering it before the drop members your putting in?

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

The guy i bought it from just cut down the springs, not a good ride in the front on bottomed out shocks.

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

Looks like you have the skill set to make this as good as the previous builds ....

I'm watching ....

Dude its hard to believe you did all that in that clean garage. Im the same way tho sometimes I follow up with my shop vac. You gonna run WW's or go with the double duces :metal:

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

I am more of a steel wheel smoothie and WW's like the ones on my old 54' but maybe some bullet caps this time.

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

Nice looking rides :metal: I just did my front suspension... lots of fun ;)
