70 GMC off the frame build
Got this truck for $500. Drove it from Texas to Kansas. Had a good running 250 in it. Other than the shifting column being trash it was pretty good. For some reason the crossmember that the shocks mount to was broken off, weird. The carrier bearing was mounted on with wire but it was working. Decided to tear it all apart and see what happens.

Re: 70 GMC of the frame build
When I started this tear down, it was going to be an original rebuild with the straight six. I took lots of pics of grounding wire and shim locations. It took a turn at some point.

Cut the bed down. 12 inches out of the front and 8 inches out of the rear.

Re: 70 GMC of the frame build
Going with an Gen IV LS out of a 2010 Silverado and 6L80E. Used original perches and original style motor mounts. Got the adapter off Ebay for $25. Really good quality as well. Had to get a trans crossmember. I beleive its from POL.

Re: 70 GMC of the frame build
Doing a 6 lug to 5 lug axle swap. Found a good deal on Amazon. Still have the old axles if anyone is interested.
