New to forum... 68 stepside ls turbo project

[68GMC5.3]

Hey guys im new to the forum...

I just bought a 68 stepside from a friend who no longer has time for it. He had a SBC 383 stroker motor built and set into the pickup, rear end swapped to a leaf spring setup, frame all painted, and body/interior stripped down.

I have alot of extra body panels and interior parts... basically everything i need except the drivetrain.

I plan on doing a 5.3 FM Turbo setup and stalled 4l80e for the drivetrain. But there is alot of body work and paint to be done first.

It should be a really fun setup when done!

It seems to be a pretty simple straight foreward swap... although every project has its suprises! lol

Here are pictures as it sits (dont have pictures of all the parts, there are alot of them!):










Advice, tips, tricks, suggestions ar welcome! This is not my first ls swap, but it is my first swap into a 67-72.
