newbie with a project...
Hey Everyone,
I've got a '64 C-10 Stepside Chevy that I've had for about five years now. Had the time but no money, but a couple of trips to the "desert" with the Navy has changed that. I just got a '00 5.3 with the 4L60E and all associated parts. Now the fun starts. Been looking around the forum and have already found a bunch of useful info. With ya'lls help I'll finally be able to get my dream going. Inherited "Big Mike" from my Uncle that passed and my ultimate goal is to get him road worthy so I can drive from the Charleston, SC area to the Nashville, TN area to "visit" my Uncle so he can see the finished truck.
Looking forward to working with ya'll...

Welcome! Sounds like a great project! Got some pics?

No pictures yet. I hope to be working on it within the next couple of weeks. Once I get it out of my garage and into my buddies shop, I'll be taking plenty.

Got the engine and tranny out yesterday. I cant' believe how easy it was to remove them both. Just four bolts and it was out. I went ahead and power washed the front end in preparation for the POR-15 treament. I plan on removing the cab and bed as well so I can get the whole frame treated.
I've heard that a '73-'87 front end will bolt right up to a '64. Is this true and what kind of benefits would I gain? I would like to have power steering as well as front disk brakes.
Thanks for all of the encouragement. Looking forward to when I can finally get him on the road.

Only four bolts to get both the engine and tranny out. I plan on using the 283 for a future rat rod project.
