'69 Bagged C20 8.1 swap
My project is a 1969 C20. It started out as a stock suspension (Trailing arm) and 350/TH400. I have lowered it (lasted literally 1 week) before I bagged it. I am currently swapping the 350 for a Vortec8100 out of a 2005 Suburban 2500 4x4.
I will post my progress, as well as previous modifications as I work. Hopefully I can add some info I could have used during the process |

Re: '69 Bagged C20 8.1 swap
What are your plans for wheels? I'm assuming the slot mags are 16.5"s?
Also how'd you lower it? With the 5 lug spindles I'm assuming you used drop spindles and air bags?
