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 Cooper, you will NOT find a more knowledgably group on the 60-66 GMC series anywhere. We love pictures.

Welcome Cooper
To view some links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Maybe you should introduce yourself with a new topic? I see you got the fancy rear view mirrors! What's the story on the inheritance? That wife sounds like a keeper. It's tough to find a girl anymore that cares about antiques unless you can fit them on a shelf. From my own experience, keep the fuel and oil clean and your truck will last forever. Keep the chocolate flowing and you'll get many miles out of the wife too! Can't wait to see the progress!
