A 1960 Chevy step-side was my first pickup. Wish I still had it. With the granny gear that thing had you almost didn't need 4wd.

I like the way you think. For a 60s pickup project, that would be close to the top of my list. Good luck, Steve

My buddy from college built a 66 Chevy mostly on his own. Put in a 455 Buick for power. It is a sharp truck. I’m envious of the talent to do this kind of work.

My first truck was a 66 Chevy, 3 on tree and overdrive. It belonged to Leo Carillo. I kept the sterling silver switch covers he had put on it. It was a fun truck!

My plan is to put some 3/4" ton axles under it and of course transfer case, PS, PB and new seals on glass and doors....then drive it!

Thanks for the link, more than likely I will keep the 305V6.
I have already found axles...

I’m really not a GM guy but on one road I drive for work there’s a similar vintage LNB 4x4 that sits off behind a house and barn that I’ve been scheming on. It’s orange with a white roof and looks reasonably straight. Pretty cool old truck. I’ve always heard the 305 V6 was a good heavy duty truck motor too, I know I’ve seen a few of them in 5 ton grain trucks around here.

My buddy was given a '67 stick shift factory 4 wheel drive step side by a step dad with a blown engine. Same guy literally had a semi trailer full of used Chevy engines. My friend just picked a random rusty dirty small block out of the collection and we put it in the truck. Our first solo engine install. He had a pretty well equipped shop as he owned a gravel train as his main business. This is pre internet and he took out the old giant tome that was the Chilton manual. He told us everything we needed to know was in that book and he want ed to see the truck running and driving in 2 days. It was an absolute screaming 327. We only knew it was a 327 after we checked the block numbers later on. I have no idea how many times that engine probably hit 7k rpm while my buddy was rodding on it but it never blew up. i couldn't believe how that engine would scream at the top end.
