Re: 1963 GMC 1000 Build Thread

Hello All,
My wife and I recently inherited this 1963 GMC Custom. It is definitely in need of some love and elbow grease. My wife joined a few Facebook groups, so I thought I would join here to share progress and seek advise as we need it. We both have automotive experience, but neither of us have taken on a project as in depth as this one.
The truck is a 63' 1/2 Ton, Long bed (127" WB), out of Oakland. Bought new in the Bay Area, and now we will be the second owner. Still has the original V6 305E.
It currently has aftermarket wheels and tires on it, but the originals are there with it. We have the original chrome hub caps as well.
The truck comes home soon, and then the fun will begin. I'll continue to post updates as things move along.

Welcome to the forum, Cooper! We'll all be looking forward to updates and more photos as your project progresses. Just make sure you keep that V6!
