Re: Pontiac Nut's 63 GMC ProStreet Build

OK, I think I'll post an update for the 1 or 2 possible people subscribed to my thread.

I sold almost every extra part that I owned and my 66 GMC, 63 long and 63 short (wifes chebby) chevys..and a couple other trucks that found their way into my yard.

I am putting up a small 25X25 fabrication shop behind a carport I am also building.
I have been working on my side yard with no roof for far too long.

The narrowed frame for my 63 pro-street is finish welded together finally and has a nice coat of chassis paint on it.

I have photos of it in progression to post as soon as I figure out how to get them off the little square memory chip thingy in my camera phone and on to my laptop.

I built the chassis at my best friends place, need to bolt front suspension on it assemble and adjust the rear suspension and 9 inch and drag it home as soon as I have a roof to put it under.

This build has taken way longer than I ever imagined but the motor/trans are done and waiting and several other expensive parts are out of the way so that's a step forward.

I think there are more than 1 or 2 of us anxious to see your photo progress. I know I am!

Re: Pontiac Nut's 63 GMC ProStreet Build

Yes, 1 project at a time is highly recomended...

Re: Pontiac Nut's 63 GMC ProStreet Build

This build has changed more than a teenage girl going on her first date.
The chassis sits on its side next to the sheet metal. .
I've spent more time on other peoples builds and nothing on my own.
Motor... 440 inch pontiac. .. sits on a stand..
Transmission. ... 4L85E is hidden in a shed.
I believe its time to resurrect this build.

I have a 60 K10 4x4 and a 63 GMC to finish before I have room to resurrect my prostreet project.
Both will be done soon.
I also have a full tube chassis truck in the planning stages.
