Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread

Keeping me on my toes, I appreciate the motivation from this group! Here's some status updates:

1) I built some wood blocks to get the frame off the ground. The frame moves around pretty well on the Harbor Freight rollers!

2) Engine is back from the builder! It is now a 357 with aluminum intake and Brodix IK heads. I am waiting for some parts to arrive so I can smooth the block with fillable polyester primer and shoot it with orange and clearcoat. Once I finish painting it we can drop the engine/trans in the frame and then route the exhaust. I'm debating with myself whether or not to get a Gear Vendors overdrive unit to pair with the TH350. TH350 is freshly rebuilt and a great transmission so I would like to keep it.

Plus a cat tax for those interested.
