62-61 PRO/STREET

| WHAT A MESS!! Most people would take one look at this 1962 Chevy and send it straight to the crusher. But for $125.00 we found it to be a perfect project vehicle. The frame was in great condition with a 373 posi track rear-end. The drive line was missing but the truck was complete with all hinges, latches, handles, steering and wiring. | ||

| To begin....We pulled off the old steel bed and realized we could get away with 12 X 15 rims with a 9" inset & 14" wide Mickey Thompsons by simply changing the springs to coil overs. Because of the huge rubbers, we went with the US BODY SOURCE tubbed bed (part # FCGB-55T). Pretty Cool HUH???!!! 28" of rubber inside the wheel well with a stock rear end. To install the bed - its cross bracing needed to be notched in five locations. | ||

 |
| Next the completely rotted doors were pulled off and the new ones (part# FCGD-60) were hung in place with new stainless 5/16" bolts. | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Then the rotted front end sheet metal was pulled off to make way for the 60-61 Presplit Tilt Front End (part# FCGI-60P). The lower pre-split panels were easily bolted in place and the front end was notched at the frame rail location - hung - and hinged. The the trim for the front end was fitted. | ||

|
After properly fitting all of the panels the next steps are to strip everything off - sand blast the frame - add horse power - upholstery - and suspension work....What a Neat Street Truck. One of a Kind and now at least 80% Rust Free. | |
