Re: my 63 swb stepside (Newbie)

unfortunately yes haha i will be, but im working on one of our other out building to get it a little more "cozy" for her, well im going to body off her, so i can get the frame (which is good) sealed and painted, just do some body work, repair any all panels that need it, just some minor stuff now, prime and paint, get her back on the road by next summer, just getting her ready, i begin to realize now that (this is a lifestyle, and i wanna live it) im never gonna stop, but its all dependent on money money money, ill try and keep stuff posted to show progress and what else i and my budget allows!!!!

Re: my 63 swb stepside (Newbie)

Hello and Welcome !!
I dig the barn, though not for where I am right now....

I think if I were going to be doing a IL6, I would do it the way this fellow did:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=457465&page=5
DLoE did an awesome job on his, and it would be one of the ones to inspire me.

There are others on the board, but this one has always been the first to mind when talking about IL6 motors.

I hope this helps!

Keep us in photos, we love that stuff around here !
