70 ground up build, porter built, accuair e-level, ls swap
well I've been messing with cars and trucks since I was 14. this will be my first frame off, ground up restore. I'm just now really getting started, since I've been waiting on parts, money, etc. I'm doing all of the work myself, from the wiring for the swap, to the body work and painting the truck. here's a list of parts I've collected so far. any help or input would be awesome.

1970 swb fleet side truck
2008 330hp 5.3 4l65e
c6 z06 front and rear brakes
porter built stage 2 deluxe air ride
accuair e-level
boyd fuel tank
entropy radiator
cpp ls swap kit
cpp 500 steering gear box
Tilden oil pan

I only do fiberglass tubs (#ChubTubz, ) and they are shortened for raised floors (4"). I've seen posted somewhere that someone is making widened tubs in steel, but not sure where. Keep up the good work!

Buy a nice air chisel (Snapon or Matco NOT harbor freight) and you will be amazed out how quick the rivets come out.
