Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
I can build engines do anything pretty much mechanical, fab and weld most anything but bodywork, wish I could do the magic like your project, smooth.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
i found these random boxes containing the brake assembly parts. Gas and brake pedal. I made the brake pedal to match my gas 1. I also drilled the brake pedal arm to match the gas 1.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
I got the trans mount and poly plus, from cpp. this part does not fit properly. I had to slot the slots and ream the frame holes, and grind the ends by like a 1/16 on each end, in order to install this.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
That is some serious equipment you have there Alex! That looks like some high dollar paint material you're using too. Looking forward to seeing it on your truck.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
Well I admit to beaing a chronic tool hoarder. I see blue in the near future, after 3-4 yrs in the making it's finally becoming a reality. I am trying to put together a quality product as this will represent my name and demonstrate my crafting abilitys. Everything is done in house nothing is subbed out, other than the upholstery, I don't do stitching .

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
i started final assembly on the front, being extra cautious not to scratch anything, all bolts have lock tite applied and torqued accordingly. i still need to install the rack and the spindles.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
Reinforcement to the cut out i did for the steering shaft. i used some flat bar following the cut out, i welded it all the way around back and front and sanded the top smooth, after the paint it really looks good

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
as for the k member itself i did not want to weld it. I prefer having the removable option, this might be needed later in future for what ever reason,
