69 c10 swb budget swap

[Lazyb]

I have read more in the past two weeks than I have done in 10 years and decided it was time to do the swap in my 69 c10. I have a friend that is helping me acquire the drivetrane and harness since his family owns a junk yard and has ample access to most of the parts I will be needing. I had a few hours this morning and decided to pull the front clip off the truck. I had some help from my brother and his buddy as we were waiting on 1:00 to get up hay. Everything went pretty good and 600 bales later I figured what the heck I'll keep digging and see where I end up. An hour or so later we were steaming oysters and drinking beer with the satisfaction of having the drivetrane on the floor of the shop. The plan is to get the 5.3 and 4l60e setting in the truck next Saturday as I won't be working on it during the week. So far I have dirty dingo swap mounts for 73-80 something Chevy trucks. I like free advice and don't mind answering questions. I will do the best I can in documenting this build as it's my first swap and thread. I have decided on doing my own wiring harness and hope the engine is a dbw throttle. Will have more info first of the week on the year of the engine and such.
