Re: Carolina K10, 1979 Reg cab short bed.

The plan of action as of now is:
•to get the engine/transmission/tcase.
•get LS6 top end
•get my turbo setup (from headers to exhaust tips)
•remove bed clean up/reinforce frame as needed. Body work and gas tank/fuel pumps
•remove cab and do the same thing as above
•remove front clip (again do everything like above.) Drop everything in and hope to God it will run.

IF it doesn't blow up, off to get dyno tuned it goes. If it does I'll just cry for a minute and start over.

For the gas tank I'll start looking at either newer tanks or building a sump in mine. I want to keep the truck looking as stock as possible from the outside so like I said above, no in bed tanks for me.

If anyone has any questions/comments/concerns/complaints, put me on blast. I want all the help and ideas I can get.
