Here's a shot of my engine. They are Sanderson C 10 Headers. I'm pretty impressed with their fit. The serpentine belt setup is off of a 1993 5.7 Silverado. I'm going to get my frame painted within the next couple of weeks and then set my cab back on. I'm in the process of coating the bottom of the cab now with tintable bedliner.

Re: Show us your projects

I'm going to try and find the photos I took of the inside floor of the cab. I made some caps to cover up where the frame rails come up through the floorboard. I have two borla pro xs 2.5" inlet/dual 2.5" outlet mufflers that I plan to have installed within the next month or so. I'm planning to run two exhaust tips out each side between the rear of the cab and the front of the rear wheels. I found an emergency brake lever off of a late model camaro that I am going to mount on my shifter bracket to the right of my shifter. I think it will hook up to the stock 1977 e brake setup pretty easily. I'll post some pics when I do.

Here's a shot of my cab floor. The raised area covers the 1977 frame rails. It gives me the low stance look with the original suspension travel.

Re: Show us your projects

Since I haven't seen any pics of someone building one of these, I'll post mine. It's a 1955 short bus (REALLY short!) that I'm going to transform into a beater to run around to car shows in and piss off the local crying baby brigade.

A friend of mine once wanted to tint his windows to look like there were skeletons wearing old hats sitting in the vehicle when you looked at them at just the right angle. That would be really cool on this bus.
