Found a little time over Xmas I cut the rear frame and dressed up some welds.
Also founds some pipe for cut outs.

I don't think I've seen this done on a leaf spring truck, you seem to be short on bumper bracket room. Hmmm.

*2tons of fun* · 12-30-2009, 05:16 AM

why did you cut and section under the cab?

LOWBUK is a leaf truck and all worked out just fine! I just don't remember what I had to do but I think it was just a matter of drilling new holes in the rails.

Progress is looking good!

Thanks Rokcrin!
Coming from you means a lot to a novice like me.

Normy71 · 01-06-2010, 10:21 PM

I sand blasted my front spring and painting them with KBS .
Also removed my C notch and painted it and the frame.

VA72C10 · 01-13-2010, 12:42 AM

Looking good. Nice work!

chevy88 · 01-13-2010, 07:28 PM

So will you be able to put a bumper on your truck or are you going to roll pan, cause I will be cutting mine in the same place as I have leaf springs also. I'm just curious as I want bumper but looks like
i may need to go roll pan.

Normy71 · 01-18-2010, 10:58 PM

Built my engine adapter plates out of 3/8 steel a little over kill.
Used POL engine mount

Normy71 · 01-18-2010, 11:00 PM

Transmission is going to be next after a nice coat of paint!

mcbassin · 01-19-2010, 12:44 AM

What tranny are you running behind the LS engine?

Normy71 · 01-19-2010, 09:21 AM

It's 4L60E out of a 2005 it has 30k miles on it!
I have a new filter and pan gasket to put in before I put it behind the 5.3.

Normy71 · 01-28-2010, 04:19 PM

Took the trans pan off and all looks good!
Put in a new filter and gasket.

Normy71 · 01-28-2010, 04:23 PM

Time to start putting the front end back together.
I need to order a few more parts, never ending trips to the part store!
But worth it.

mcbassin · 01-28-2010, 10:49 PM

Looking great!

VA72C10 · 01-28-2010, 10:54 PM

Looking very good!

chevy88 · 02-02-2010, 10:39 PM

What kind of paint are you using on your front suspension parts?

Normy71 · 02-02-2010, 10:48 PM

It's Called KBS rust paint
Same type of paint over rust as POR 15
It is one great product.

chevy88 · 02-02-2010, 11:03 PM

What store carry's that as I want to put something on the underside of my bed where I welded to seal and keep out rust?

Normy71 · 02-08-2010, 10:27 PM

Picked up a set of seats today.
I'm a long way from needing them,but you need to have a plan.

*Puropedo* · 02-09-2010, 12:06 AM

Looking good!.. Are you going to use the stock exhaust manifolds that came with your LS engine? Is that a trucks 5.3?

Normy71 · 02-09-2010, 08:16 AM

Yes it is a 5.3 all aluminums L33
I would like a set of headers but not sure if they are in the budget?
If that word (budget) can be used in a frame up build.

*Puropedo* · 02-09-2010, 11:59 AM

Judging from your pics it looks like you are going to have to do some frame trimming in order to fit the stock manifolds, Ive been looking at some headers for my application but, man they are pricey (sometimes more than what Ive paid for a complete drivetrain) they sure look nice though...
