Re: How I found My Truck...What's your story...?

Holy Cow, Kev..
Pretty tight lookin' '63.
I might qualify as your #1 Yank fan.
Very interesting "fun fact"...the one about how few BB V-6's roam the Kingdom.
I sure am attached to mine.
I might add, if you are still pretty much stock under the hood, there are a couple of "bolt on" mod's that I could recommend that would drastically improve
both your drive-ability and even your fuel economy.
#1..........The infamous ' Holley 500 '
#2..........The modified GM HEI distributor.
The carb upgrade makes you wonder why they ever even thought about using the OE Stromburg. Huge difference.
As far as the HEI goes, I'm heading out to finish building and installing mine after this cup of coffee.
I'll report how that goes at a later date.
Here's a couple pic's of mine.
This truck is completely factory as far as the way it's set up. I've done quite a bit of mod's/upgrades......but as far as appearance, this is the way it was ordered. (the suspension is stock, of course the 36" tires aren't)
