My 1964 chevy project
Hi guys i am new to this site. Well here is some about me, i am a 17 teen year old senior in high school and i decided to restore my 1965 Chevy step side 4x4. Complications came up with the title, so i acquired a 1964 cab with a long wide box. Well i liked the look of a short wide box better than both stepside and long wide box, so i decided to make my own SWB and it didn't turn out half bad. i also took the inner metal bed from a 70's style chevy and inserted it instead of the wood bed. Here's some pictures i hope you enjoy.

Re: My 1964 chevy project
Welcome to the forum, you will find this site to be a tremendous resource. Great to see yet another young guy being bitten by the 60-66 C10 bug. Keep us updated on your plans and progress, and don't be afraid to ask for help.

Re: My 1964 chevy project
Hey Thomas, what are we looking at there engine tranny wise? Looks like a powerglide with an overdrive unit behind it. I would bet that it would be of some value to some on this forum if you are not going to be using it.... Just remember that to post it for sale you would need to up your membership.

Re: My 1964 chevy project
It's an older 350 crate motor and a turbo 400 trans. Don't know how long the motor will last because it say a long time, but have a couple other 350's, a 383, 400 etc sitting around for back up. As well as a couple different trans and transfercases. Always good to have a back up to be able to throw right in.
