Got to keep an eye on this one looking really good

[niterider65]

Thanks should have some more updates pics after work maybe
we had to change out the backing plates and drums due to them hitting the wheels on the inside .should have went with 16inch wheels instead
going to use caprice backing plates and drums that are 5x5

[1963c-10]

Nice work on the big block install....I start mine on April 25....so looking forward to some of the same mods. Keep up the updates

[niterider65]

here is an picture update here is a couple of pics of the old backing plate and the ones that had to be modifide from the caprice backing plates to fit the wheels .. had tooo widen the hole to side it over and end of the axle and redrill the holes for the bolt spacing used the 90-96 caprice 5x5 and drums all new hardware and not running an e-brake also mounted the new adjustable rear pan bar .. cant wait to put the bed back on to see how the wheels look under the rear fenders to see it we need stiffer shocks

[niterider65]

also today got the fuel lines run and filter and electric pump mounted
need the cab back to them so we can get the fuel regulator mounted and
get the brakes going

I've thought of doing mine that way, but I also like the way Lakeroadster did his. He just widened the whole box.
