As you well know this project snow balled on me, I bought it with the intention of fixing the wreck damage to the door hinge post and rusted rockers. I was driving past Lowes motor speedway Sunday last fall and saw the signs for the auto fair and tought I would stop in and look around. Talked to the guy with this cab, gave him my cell# and told him to call me if he did not sell it...and here we are.

My Dad was a wild man back in the day for sure, I just thought it was more fun than a rollercoaster

The comp cam is a hyd roller a good street cam no to wild matched up with everything I put in for massive low end torque. I will look for my cam card next time I go home.

Re: 1964 SWB Step Side Chop Top

I sat back and studied my cab this weekend and I am thinking I need to modify the drip rail and the rear of the cab. Right now it looks like the roof is to short. I think I need to change the angle of the curve from the side to the rear of the cab. It needs something for sure...when you modify one thing it seems to snow ball. Please give me some input on this

Re: 1964 SWB Step Side Chop Top

Nice ideas, and love that engine. Check out my shaved drip rails. A lot of work, but I think it will be worth it.
