1969 C10 Bagged LS/T56 Build

[ADub]

Not many picture worthy accomplishments this weekend. Spent a lot of time on it, but don't feel like I have a whole lot to show. Aligned/torqued the cab and the bed. Fixed a couple clashing issues that showed up with the body on. Started working from the back of the truck forward. Got the rear wiring installed, taillights etc in, tailgate on. Centered the rear axle.

Spent way too much time building a mount for the fuel filler. I originally bought the tank as a budget conversion, but by the time I messed with the pickup tube and fuel filler BS, I am pretty near the cost of a custom aluminum tank. That of course would have saved me 8-12hrs of BS. Lesson learned. BTW I used a vented cap from a boat. The ports exit the filler body at an angle, so I hoped it would match up well with the wheel well. Ended fabbing a box out of sheetmetal and cutting a window in the drivers side inner wheel well. Welded the box to the wheel well. Used a combination of filler hose and 1-1/2" stainless flex exhaust tubing to connect it to the tank. It didn't turn out as pretty as I had hoped so I don't have pictures, but PM me if you want more info.

Need to adjust the pass side exhaust dump to clear the shock at ride height, then on to working on the cab.
