To do
Gathering parts to start on the 63 again---
353T Motor with only 30k miles-- check
c6 tranny -- check
New carb and 4bl intake-- Check
Headers (possibly located)
New Steering gearbox - Check
Driveshaft-- Missing :-(
New seats with seatbelts-- Check
New rims (new to me) Check
Upgrade to pertronix ignition- check
New fancy high dollar distributer -- check
New truck Wiring harness-- Located (need to purchase after pay day)
Have tranny cooler and electric fan- need thermostat switch
Need to remove old motor and tranny mounts crossmembers and install the new ones
All new Fuel, tranny and brake lines
Need to repaint frame and inner fender wells
Put everything together
Needs all new exhaust
Still need to locate a driveshaft- 2 groove front pulleys- new headlights (like Curts with the turn signals in them)- New tires-
Maybe by late spring early summer I'll have a running project?? But first i need somone big and brave to come over and remove the spiders (My wife won't do it) :-)

Wow, I need to put my list together. Much of it is in my head, so I'll try to put it together and get it on here as my "money do list" or is it a "honey do list?" Oh, that's right, I can ignore a honey do list. Been doing that for years. Maybe that will get my feet to the fire and we can have a "coming out party" for this Spring with Curtis, yours and Old Smokey. That would make a nice group portrait.

My brother has a '62 with a 390 as well. I thought it would be neat to roll up in a car show or a wheelin event towing the rigs with the old rigs--- or maybe a small parade somewhere? Would be kinda fun. :-)

At least you've got an excuse with cubic inches. My little small block gets blown big block gas mileage. That's what I get for big tires, big stall, and stock gearing. Dang Chevies.

Noticed the frig could use some cleaning. I had a big shelf almost empty. So's I cleaned it one shelf at a time this mornin. Did a quick mop on my bathroom. Need ta do a good clean and dust an winders kin use a bit of werk. That should be this weekend. Called and scheduled a Dr.'s appointment as I have my new correct insurance card. Ain't got no $$$ for no Dr. but I need a new one so's I guess I have ta go and give um money an sign paperwork. Kind uh like goin ta have a dealer ta set up for a mechanic ta work on yer truck an payin fer an oil change ur something and not havin any work done. Need to go and shop this mornin or tomorrow mornin. Ben will be outa food after taday.
And I need ta pick up one like this: http://www.rrarms.com/catalog.php?prod=GCR1871 this afternoon. Sippin whiskey an point an click makes stuff like that happen sometimes. So's I been sippin whiskey every night since.
