n2billet's 63 swb build "Milly"

As some of you know I've mainly built 67-72 trucks but I've always wanted to try my hand at a 60-66. I've been keeping my eyes open for the right candidate knowing one day I would find the right one or it would find me depending on how you look at things. Anyway, this 63 I have know about for a couple of years as it was owned by a buddy in Oklahoma....long story short it got in a two way trade and another buddy here in the Dallas area ended up with it.....he then asked me to start building a chassis for it and this is where my interest really peaked. After I got started on the chassis (using another frame) my buddy decided to sell a couple of cars and trucks so he could buy some land to build a bigger shop to store/house his collection so we came to an agreed upon price and the truck and extra chassis was mine. I finished the chassis (complete PB front and rear) and sold it to offset the cost of the truck. So the plans for this one is more or less like all my builds in the past, keep the patina (only original once!) and detail everywhere else. This build I'm doing different in the sense that I've actually did the rendering/art work first and I'm buying as much of the parts in advance before I start tearing the truck apart. In the past I blew them apart and then start buying parts.....trying another approach this time. I always name my trucks/cars and this one is no different, the names always means something to me and this one is named Milly after my grandmother...this will be a slow build as I collect parts and I have a few customers trucks to work on and get done before I work on my own stuff..... I welcome your thoughts.

Re: n2billet's 63 swb build "Milly"

Here is the basic plan I have:

Chassis: All new PB front and rear kit (I think he's releasing it sometime around SEMA )

Wheels: 20/22 Schott Accelerator wheels

Motor/Trans. 6.0 with a few add ons 4l60e maybe 4l80e

Interior: will be a dark brown leather with a dash out of a 63 GMC that will be modified.

Paint: Outside will get a buff job and a bbw but that's about it

Brakes: 14" Wilwoods all the way around with a 9" in the rear

This will help paint a better picture....artwork by Daniel Reyna

This is what the dash looks like out of the 63 GMC...I'm having a custom bezel machined to hold the Dakota Digital VHX gauges.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

With the pics on IG I've been wondering when the transformation was going to take place.

Looking forward to following this one!

After seeing your last few builds here, I can't imagine this one disappointing.
