1970 Chevy C10 from Michigan - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello!
Finally decided I should make an account here though I have been a lurker for a few years. I have a 1970 Chevy C10 LWB with a 307 SBC and a TH350 in butternut yellow. I bought the truck up north about 2 years ago and so far have added power disc brakes with a 2.5" drop spindle, 1" front drop coils and 5" rear drop coils, new shocks, shock relocation kit for the rear. I dove head first into fixing my sagging doors that did not shut correctly only to find lots of rust repair needed. Right now I am currently in the collecting phase for my LQ4 4L80E swap. I have a donor truck with a low mileage powertrain. So far the harness/fuse box is mostly complete but I can't justify pulling the engine/trans on my C10 until I get all the parts needed because I love to cruise in the thing.
Looking forward to bouncing my problems off the forum as I know they will be plenty once the swap is underway!
