Yup, that looks as close as mine is. Good to know it fits!

Re: "BUILD: 1970 C10 LWB--->SWB “Jumping Cholla”
Labor Day weekend progress update...
I had bought a new set of power steering hoses from Speedway the other week but I'm going to return them. The lengths are perfect but the fitting that connects to the pump is a 45 degrees and it moves the hose too close to the header tube on cylinder #1. I found a set on Summit with a 90 degree fitting that should work much better. Since the serpentine belt setup I have on the 454 uses a new style pump, I needed to get an adapter (Part Number 605SOL) for M16 x 1.5 to 5/8 in.-18 inverted flare to make the hose fit up to the original steering box. I finally got to install the new CPP tilt column. Pretty straight forward install with good directions included. The new column comes in a hard plastic case, almost like a rifle case, to protect it during shipping. Once that was installed, I put in my new rag joint at the gear box, new u-joint at the column, and a new shaft to connect everything together. Next mini project was the transmission cooler and lines. The an fittings I had bought forever ago were the wrong size for the supply/return on the trans case so I'm stalled on running those lines until those pieces come in. I moved on to mounting the trans cooler. I went with a plate and frame over tube and fin coil. I've never liked the mounting style they send with any of these coolers (with the plastic studs that sandwich the heat exchangers of the radiator/cooler together) so I bend up and made my own brackets out of some 1"x1/8" flat stock and mounted it in front of the core support. I wanted to have the cooler on the passenger side of the core but after looking at the Vintage Air condenser coil that I will most likely run at some point, I saw that wasn't going to work out since the drier would be in the way. So I moved the cooler over to the drivers side and bend my brackets so that a new VA condenser coil assembly could slide right behind it. Hopefully my holistic planning pays off and when it comes time to do A/C and the coil can be installed with minimal teardown of the cooler setup. I need to pick up some bulkhead fittings to install in the core support to connect all the hoses from the remote cooler, radiator cooler, and the trans. Inching closer to starting the engine

Re: "BUILD: 1970 C10 LWB--->SWB “Jumping Cholla”
Nice work Scott! Are you happy with the CPP column so far? I am looking at getting one of those as well. My original column is beat to hell and I figured it would be better to just go with a new one vs. try to rebuild the old one. Plus it would be nice to have a tilt mechanism to boot. Also, are you going to leave yours black, or paint it the body color??

Re: "BUILD: 1970 C10 LWB--->SWB “Jumping Cholla”
Small build updates...
Pics are kinda repetitive from my other posts cuz most of these updates are kinda small but it's the smaller steps that make the progress.

Re: "BUILD: 1970 C10 LWB--->SWB “Jumping Cholla”
Baby steps forward but it's progress. The shift linkage is installed and the column shifter is clicking through the gears of the 700R4. I got my new driveshaft. I ended up getting it made by AZ Driveshaft out in Mesa, AZ. It was ready in a day after I approved the quote. It looks like a nice piece and the sticker should add a few HP.
With the driveshaft installed I can throw some ATF in the 700. I still need to pickup some power steering fluid and coolant for the radiator, connect my makeshift engine stand wiring harness, plug wires, and a few gallons of fuel and start this baby up. I want it running before jumping into the new wiring harness (that I still need to buy) and more so for milestone motivation. Not sure if I'll get to it this weekend but I can almost smell the exhaust now. It's almost cooling down now in Phx so I can move back over to getting the bed shortened, cleaned, bodyworked, and painted. As much as I was hating that process on the cab and front clip, I'm actually looking forward to starting it all over again for the bed

Re: "BUILD: 1970 C10 LWB--->SWB “Jumping Cholla”
Hey Scott, that sticker should add at least 10HP.....If you really want some power, then add a chrome spectre air cleaner! LOL
She is looking good man! And I hear ya about the cooler weather. It is nice to be able to go outside and not worry as much about heat stroke. Clay

Re: "BUILD: 1970 C10 LWB--->SWB “Jumping Cholla”
Not a whole lot of progress over the last weeks. Life got busy real quick with kids school back in full swing and nights and weekends filled up. I also got distracted from the C10 and bought a used Polaris Ranger that has ate some garage hours
I did manage to get all hoses and fluids tightened and filled. Also whipped up a quick wiring harness to start the engine, dropped the fuel lines in a gas tank, and it started/idles (and revs) sitting between the frame rails. Start up vid Rev'ing Now that it's been started up, time to get the fenders, wheel wells, grille, and hood bolted in and make sure I can get the gaps correct.

Congrats on getting her started up Scott! And also contracts on the new Ranger! Now that we are finally getting into cooler weather here, I really regret getting rid of my RZR. Oh well, more time to work on my truck I guess. Clay
