Mine is a 63 short wrongbed with the 3 speed and it has the single driveshaft.

Since the windshield is out of mine at this time I got a measurement for you. Mine is a 63 custom cab and the pinch weld itself is 7/16". I checked several places on all 4 sides.

You've got that FE looking sweeeet!

4.2 million WOW!

Nice paint, but the ford body can't hide the fact it's a GM vehicle. My guess is the guy couldn't sell his vette so he tried to hide it under the slick body with hope he could get rid of it.

You're welcome and good luck with your project

I tipped the cab on my 63 in a 1 1/2 car garage. It made the job much easier and didn't require much space. Just place a couple of 2x4's across the frame rails for support and roll the cab over backwards on to the 2x4's . Worked great for me. http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb467/fathead0703/63%...

truck was surprisingly solid except the floors were gone. previous owner had left it sit in a field behind his barn for 9 years, was going to restore it "someday"

Not my favorite task but began stripping the old finish from the cab. Has taken approx. 8 hours to get this far, I'm glad I'm not working with a deadline on this.

Welcome from Michigan.

I'm thinking I"ll paint it a satin black. I used that on my bronco and I really like how it turned out.

Got about 10 hours work done on the slick today. New brake and fuel lines installed an finally got the cab mounted back on the frame :woohoo: Cab has been off for over 1 year therefore I'm a little excited to see it back on. No pics tonight, camera batteries are dead,will post later. 63 Wrongbed, sh...

80 - 86 front bumper, i'm wondering if that's what the chassis is also.

Lower section of the B-pillars. I couldn't find ANY when doing my 63 so i had to fabricate my own, not an easy task.

I found this one in the LMC online catalog. A little expensive for my needs but gives you an idea what to look for.

Here's what was on mine when I got it, don't know if it was the original. I'm not sure they came with a rear bumper when new. I think the bumper was installed by the dealer or owner.
