We found this truck in field in the desert here in California it was a long bed and 95% rust free so we thought it was definitely worth saving! This shot is after we shortened it.

[Drifters]

We're moving along pretty good now the body works almost done the frames now finished!

[Drifters]

body stopped and started the body work!

[mud.man.rj]

Wow you are moving fast, keep us posted, looks like a nice build.

[Drifters]

We'll I've lagged a little on this project but we finally got the motor & Trans it's a 6.0 & 4L80e with 34k miles

[mud.man.rj]

Nice score on both, so 4L65E trans.

[mud.man.rj]

Sorry, getting late didn't expect the 4L80, even better, good for you.

[mywifestruck]

Good find!

[Drifters]

We've started painting our truck! We decided on GM Blue tint coat! The grill shell will be painted a light Tan were still deciding on the shade?

[Drifters]

Thanks Mud man! It actually was a good score $2500 for the pair!

[mud.man.rj]

So is the blue tint the finished color, nice price for trans and engine, trans is worth more as a rebuilt alone.

[Drifters]

Ya that's the finish color it looks really good in person! And your right the 4L80's aren't cheap. I was in the right place right time!

[Drifters]

This was a final fitment of the 6.0/4L80e

[Drifters]

With the weather being a brisk 80 degrees today we figured it's time to paint it!

[mud.man.rj]

Man that 6.0 L just fits tight to the firewall, looks great and super nice blue, can't wait to see more.

[Drifters]

Ya the #8 coil pack is close! But I made a slight modification and got a 1.25" clearance. And thanks I'll update the pics!

[Drifters]

Here's the finished paint on the bed the cab and sheet metal will be done in a couple days

[68Gold/white]

Awesome!, carry on!!!

[SierraMtns]

Cool build.

[Drifters]

My 67 & 68

[mud.man.rj]

Come on, 2 cool rides, lucky dude. What engine in the 1st a Vortec, just trying to see the engine cover..Nice having a more modern engine.

[mud.man.rj]

Sorry, I already knew from earlier, was thinking of the 68 not 67.

[Drifters]

Hey Mudman the 68 is posted under 68c10/c6 sorry I don't know how to tag it?

[mud.man.rj]

Thanks on the 68, so with the 67 going to plate the firewall heater box assy or have heat, how about ac, something we don't consider much up here with like 2 weeks to actually use it but must be a staple in your heat wave state.

[Drifters]

I'm going to install a Vintage air I have it I'll put it in when I pull the cab for paint! The temp here in San Diego averages 75 but Aug & Sept can get hot.
