1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build

Well I have started a Build thread for my truck that i just picked up from a guy in my town for 3k with some extras. My plans are to tear it down and install a Porterbuilt Dropmember with PB Arms and a Full rear Trailing Arm Dropmember in the back. I have ordered all my parts from Nathan and should be getting them in a few weeks. I will be running a classic steel smoothie rim with bullet caps and white walls. The 350 engine will get rebuilt and warmed up a little. And i will have the TH400 freshend up also. I have included some pictures of inspiration trucks also. I'm sure i will have a few questions for Nate and some of you Dropmembered Guys.

Thanks and enjoy,






*****Inspirational Truck*****

Here are some pictures of my old builds so you get a sense of my style.

First a 1930 Ford model A i found a frame and body shell from a local farmer.

Nice deal on a clean truck. I love the '30 and the '54 is just TITS! Have I seen it over on The HAMB?
