This last month I haven't done as much as I had I hoped. I did get my steering column and a bunch of miscellaneous parts powder coated, but I wasn't very happy with stance on my front end. I pulled my front springs out to find I didn't get the springs in the pocket right on the lower A-arm's. After I fixed the problem, It dropped my front end down exactly where I wanted it.

There's a small chance I'll have my Blazer running by then provided none of my major components have issuse... (LQ9 / 4L80e / D60 or 14BFF which are all used and purchased with unknown history)

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Hey Mike, it's going well. I have slowed down a little bit on the truck due to kids going back to school and a second set of braces lol. I did send out my engine harness and ECM to get rewired/reflashed. I am hoping to get the bed floor and new front bed panel painted in the next couple of weeks so I can assemble the bed. My goal is to get it running by the end of October. Your truck is looking good. That's awesome that your driving it, I'm jealous haha
Thanks, |

Hey Mark I can't wait to see some more pics too. I need a little inspiration as I'm a little soured on my build at the moment. Can't wait to see that Torch Red shining out in the sun :metal:

Not sure if this has been talked about, but did you put eye bolts in the boddy mount holes to lift the cab? If so, would you do it again?

I just checked the tracking number on my radiator and it will be here tomorrow:metal: after a lot of research I decided to go with a Griffin from Summit Racing. It will have both the inlet/outlet on the passenger side to match the LS ports. It is also equipped with two 16" fans and is a direct fit. I will post some pics after I receive it. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/gri-cu-00013-ls I should also get my my engine harness and ECM back next week from S&S Performance out of Arkansas. WWW.LSX-HARNESS.COM They are adding the fuses and relays for my fans and fuel pump, and turning it into a stand alone harness. I did get my battery tray built and mounted on the frame with 1/4" aluminum and my rusty TIG skills lol. If everything goes right I should have it running in next few weeks. |

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
I had to order 4 core mounts to be able to install the radiator (my first LMC order). The radiator looks very well built and I can't wait to get into the truck.
