Hey guys, things are starting to come together for my (semi-budget build) '80 C15 build so figured I could start a thread to help out along the way and get some input.

Here's a few pictures during mock up to give you guys an idea of what its going to look like. In the end will be a deep purple, not multiple colors.








Here's the start of the mock up...



















After all the welding was done i got it blasted and threw some paint at the frame.

















Here's my 383 Stroker rated for 405 hp and 450 ft-lbs, nothing crazy but should be enough to get her moving. as for the trans its a 770R4 build by performance automatic.



As for the body I picked up a rust free box and cab from Georgia.











Also picked out some 22"s, got an amazing deal on wheels and rubber while in Carlisle, PA at one of the swap meets.



That's where I'm at for now, I will keep pictures coming while I make more progress. Feel free to leave feed back, this is my first build and this sort of thing is only a hobby so can always use help.
