The '63 as I said is and would already be torn down if the Jerkwads at Diamond Outdoor of the Carolinas would quit lying and just drag there sorry butts over here and put my garage up. It is in need of total resto and it will be repainted green but not that shade of green (not even close), it is also getting a 6.0 LS motor & 4L65E trans so even though 350s are a dime a dozen the just under 15,000 mile, totally rebuilt 327 in it will be free so as I said before it's what will be going into the '74. I will do one of three things for the trans on the '74, those are, a: nothing, b: a 5 speed, c: a 700R4. My '82 S10 is an auto overdrive and so is the '63 so I kinda like having one truck that I get to shift gears manually in... It bothers my back using a clutch since my spinal fusion surgery but it's not too bad unless I'm in town going stop light to stop light and shifting, and shifting, and shifting...
