Sweet Truck and nice garage. Keep us posted on your build.

It looks Killer! :metal:
I was thinking of that same combo, any thoughts on where or how that shifter is going to be inside. Guess running buckets is the only option. Still looks Cool.... and Good Luck! |

You'll have to keep us posted. I would really love a 6-speed in mine, and have been wondering how big of a project it is.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
I drove that combo in a Camaro; it was sweet. You going to freshen the motor?

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Sounds like a cool build!
|
Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
looks like fun, I'm doing the same myself, if this site weren't here, never woulda dove into a full on frame off resto but there is way too much info on here to not take full advantage and roll with it, good luck with the build
|
Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
I did the same swap in my truck. Let me know if you run into any problems. What kind of engine mounts, fuel tank, harness, etc... are you going to use?

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
making a little progress.. The cab is welded and primed. Now its time to mock up the engine/trans mount and tear the frame down for powder coating.

At last I get to see one of these trucks that doesn't start out looking like Swiss Cheese, & that doesn't have to occupy the first 10-plus pages of the build thread just "patching" all the holes everywhere.
WOW ! what a super-clean starting point for a project. Looking forward to following this one. |
Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Really nice clean cab. I wish mine would started off that way. I am jealous.
:waah: |
Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Looks great. It is amazing for me to see one with
such a little bit of rust. EdB |
Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Great start! keep us posted.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Sweet, a six speed! I'll bet that's gonna be one fun ride when it's done. :metal:

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
I like it so far, what color are you going to paint it?
