New Project '87 SWB
Just bought this little beauty. She's a '87 R10 body is in good shape, frame needs junked. Hit something hard some hillbilly welded it up, only about 2" bent and offset from left to right! Nice JOB
 Just got an Alabama frame, LS1 is being built by Lingenfelter with a RPM 4L60E. Great tech section on LS swaps here. Looking for some wiring threads to see how others have done it and kept it clean and semi-stock looking. Still not sure what rearend to put in: either build the one in the truck or use a 9" I have laying around that needs gone through. Would like to go disc brake rear though. Found a nice ladder bar kit that bolts in the front spring hanger position any feedback on such kits would be appreciated. |
