Shtbx project

[chopttop]

Picked up my '70 C30 w/Franklin Camper on frame, after driving by it, parked next to a farmers barn, for 4 years. Put about $1,700.00 worth of work and a lot of sweat into it and took it to Sturgis 4 years ago. It has been sitting in da shed ever since, drums all the way around makes for not a good stopping experience and I hope to remidy that. Picked up a donor vehicle yesterday, '80 C30,4speed w/granny,6 tires w/good tread and a late 80's 454 w/less than 40,000 miles.
'70 has 350/400, plan on swapping out 350 for 454, keeping the turbo 400, swapping out the front crossmember , dropped spindles/springs and a flip kit in the rear. Also has break booster but may use system out of '80 if possible.
At 40,000 miles don't plan on doing much to 454 but may be motivated, depending on funds, to put rv cam, headers...

Will be asking plenty of questions as I go along, this will be a first project of this magnitude for me. Will go a little slow this Wi. winter because the area that these 2 behoumeths will be in in not heated, I will have to build something around the cabs as I work on them. Thanks in advance.
