Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
One of my favorite things on this build is the brakes. Master Power has a really killer set up for these trucks with 13” 4 piston fronts and 12” 4 piston rears. Works well with the Baer remaster.
One thing I’m super picky on is battery cables and terminals. I like them clean and simple. |

Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
I completely understand where you’re coming from on the exhaust. I’m hoping mine isn’t too loud so I stuck with 2 1/2” piping and some quiet mufflers for it. The manifolds look really nice and give you great clearance around everything, that’s for sure.
Your attention to detail is awesome on everything with this truck. I can’t imagine what the finished product is going to look like. Getting anxious to see how it all turns out. |

Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
Final blocking of the Tamco 5310 primer with some 320 grit, reminding myself why I quit painting a few years ago! After this I finished with a DA and 500 grit before heading to the paint booth.

Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
Beautiful truck, I love your attention to detail. I have a couple of engine questions. Does you front accessory drive lengthen the engine over the stock truck drive and where are you connecting the vacuum for the power brakes? The exhaust manifolds look great. Thanks

Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
I’m hoping for a extremely quiet truck inside with windows up so I went with Vibro Solutions for sound deadener. They have some nice kits for C10 trucks. 2mm mat with a 6mm closed cell foam for top layer. I covered the floor, firewall, back wall, under headliner and inside doors.

Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
Thanks for the measurement. That makes a nice tight package. Are you going to keep the Active Fuel Management in the tune? This should make a nice driver when you get all the engine wiring sorted out.

Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
Yea I’m happy with the accessory drive, the fit, function and OE looks are awesome. I turned the afm off, I figure I can get 20 mpg without it and skip any issues it could cause in the future.

Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
We must think alike, as my build is pretty similar to what your doing (yours is nicer!) but I also have the American Autowire 83-87 kit on the shelf to install into my c10.
How was the wiring install? The directions look pretty good - it does seem like all the engine wiring stuff can be skipped with the LS swap - did you end up using any of those wires in the engine bay side or coil them up/cut them off? If you have any other tips for the wiring install please let me know - it looks strait forward when its sitting in the box, but in real life is usually not so easy.
