    BAB23E20-508D-4DDA-9C3E-0161066EB817.jpeg Just thought I’d throw an update up on my old 63 Shortbox... I posted about this when I finally signed up after stalking everyone for years . Anyway long story short I swapped my old pickup over to a Muncie four speed, did an axle flip in the rear and switched out the wheels . I like looking through everyone’s posts on here and look forward to getting to know everyone.

    Mine is leaf spring rear . From what I’ve gathered it was a option on the c10’s and many of the GMC’s . This truck is a mishmash of parts . The ***le says gmc but it has the Chevrolet grill and gate .

    It looks very nice. My brother had one years ago, but with rear coils. That was the last year of the wrap around windshield.
