jchav62 · 08-12-2009, 12:17 PM

Congrats Chief!!!! Glad you landed back on your feet...with another cool truck to boot... NICE!!!

originalJD · 08-12-2009, 12:46 PM

John, Some how I just knew I'd be seeing this post soon. Congrats on the new 63. What an awesome score! I just wanna say that I've been following the progress of the Cheif since I joined and every time I saw new pics you posted of something you did to it, it motivated me to get off my butt and do something with my truck. I'm lookin forward to following the build progress with this one.

And so this one is gonna be a bigger, badder, faster, meaner, truck after the concept build of the Cheif right?

JK

creep · 08-12-2009, 12:59 PM

I would leave it a long bed. These trucks are the only ones that look as good long as they do short. Of course I may be a little bias having a long bed too

Exactly.

Cut that baby down! You know you want to. You already have the bbw, Im sure you can knock it out in a couple of hours.

62 short step · 08-12-2009, 01:09 PM

Looks good John!!

bubba327 · 08-12-2009, 01:49 PM

Change the avitar and welcome home!! things in this life do happen for a reason , enjoy the new ride --bubba

Tx Firefighter · 08-12-2009, 04:11 PM

You say it has blue front drop springs ?

We should start a blue spring group. Here's your brand...

shrunken66stroker · 08-12-2009, 06:28 PM

Congrats chief. It looks like a solid builder. Since I cut mine I gotta vote for cutting it short. Leave the 6 though, it will cut down on the tickets for smokin the tires.

northern 85 · 08-12-2009, 07:13 PM

Rock-on!!!! Congrats

toms84ss · 08-12-2009, 07:21 PM

Nice score. Glad you found another project to take the place of your last one. Go ahead and cut it. You already did a long bed.

retodd7711 · 08-12-2009, 07:29 PM

So if you cut it down will it be a "SCHLORT"?

hAetWagon · 08-12-2009, 07:38 PM

Congrats Brotha. I'm not so sure about the Cali trucks not having the standard cancers... Mine's got em too.

Dinos63 · 08-12-2009, 07:47 PM

DUUUDE BIG WINDOW CUSTOM , KILLER DEAL, CONGRAT

protrash64 · 08-12-2009, 07:58 PM

Right on!! Right ON!!!!!!!! Congrats John, very glad to see it and a great write up, too.

monolith · 08-12-2009, 08:15 PM

Hell of a nice deal! Glad everything seems to have worked out well all the way round. Few extra bucks in the pocket- new project to keep you from going/drive you nuts.

Whatcha gonna call this one?

btw- my vote is for keeping it long- but of course- do what makes you happiest with the truck.

**Palf70Step** · 08-12-2009, 08:33 PM

Glad you got another one. Looks like a great start, no matter which way you go, long or short.

Eagar1 · 08-12-2009, 08:54 PM

Conga-Rats on the sweet deal, I am finally working on my 63 C20 also, I kept it SchLong for the haulin and towin, and I may even bump it up in the air a few for a Pre-runner style, as I want to take it out in the desert and camping and such.

If you are just gonna cruise it, SWB is the way to go, I will never forgive myself for selling my original 62 SWB , then the other 63 C10 SWB I had to my brother, He aint never givin it back.

Look fwd to watching your progress!

**Captainfab** · 08-12-2009, 11:50 PM

Congrats on an awesome deal Chief. Glad you were able to find another '63 so soon....and a BBW to boot

Long or short I'm sure it's gonna be cool either way.

**grumpy** · 08-13-2009, 12:56 AM

Right on brotha...
Great score....

Hmmmmm went back and looked at the first set of pics, is that a stock track bar???? Does not look to be adjustable....

great score and it looks like you could have a little money making adventure going. But if you go through it again just get 2 of them so you can keep one lol.

Not planning on selling this one...but thats what I said before too. Stock bar in the rear...

Definately keeping the 6....I'm stoked about it being a 6....think it'll stay long, though
