Re: 63 Short Fleet Build
Cool project. Gotta love those C4 Dropmembers. Are you running the C4 rear or the parallel 4-bar DM rear?

Re: 63 Short Fleet Build
You started with a cool truck. The 63 BBW CC Short fleet is one of my favorites!
That frame looks really nice. I'll be watching this one with interest!

Re: 63 Short Fleet Build
It's been a while but i've made a bit of progress... Motor and transmission, did a posi in the rear, and set up the 4 link and some temporary airlines for the bags. Sheet metal work is done on the cab and got one side suicided and shaved the drip rails.

Re: 63 Short Fleet Build
That's looking awesome
I've wanted to do suicide doors on a '60-'63 cab but just never have the time. I can't wait to see more progress.
