Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

The rest of the time has been spent getting more parts ready for future projects. I have a new front end to install. The NC and PA winters have not been friendly to the sheet metal on my truck. I have a rust free driver door to replace the one currently installed. The interior is 90% complete, although now Im considering going to dark blue interior. I have a 427 big block chevy and borg warner t-16 HD 3 speed out of a 67 chevelle SS to go behind the big block. Im converting the clutch to hydraulic via a Novak kit and CaptainFab clutch converion kit. I have a brand new CPP master disc brake kit waiting to be installed along with a brand new dual master cylinder (using the same plate made by Captain Fab). The CPP kit includes new ball joints, tie rods, etc...The truck still retains the original 12 bolt rearend. New springs and shocks are in the boxes to be installed at the same time as the new front end. My vision is to look original,inside and out, but be powered by a 427 BBC w/3 speed on the column.
