Re: 1963 Chevy 4x4 conversion
Another update. I got the rear spring shackle mounts fully bolted in, but I need to make a brace for them to be road worthy...I'll post pics of that when the time comes. For now it's good enough for me to put some wheels and tires on the back so I can get my beer keg/jack stands repositioned so I can continue on with the front suspension. It is on the back burner for now until I can get my 1960 GMC 1/2ton running and driving reliably. Thanks!

Re: 1963 Chevy 4x4 conversion
Thanks!!! It's been a slow go with my health problems and other projects taking priority. I was hoping to have it on wheels and tires by now, but you know how things change when you make other plans. Once I get my 60 GMC going good, I'm going to try and really focus on the 63...knowing my luck it will be the rainy season by then.

Re: 1963 Chevy 4x4 conversion
Sorry, none yet and probably won't have any until summer next year. My girlfriend and I decided to go our separate ways and I've got a huge mess of a house to clean up and fix up and I have also been reorganizing my shop. The shop is big enough to fit 2 trucks and have room to work on both. But the way I had it set up I couldn't do that. Hoping to get the house and shop squared away over the winter so when spring comes I can really focus on my truck projects.
