1969 C10 Bagged LS/T56 Build

[ADub]

Buddy came over Friday and we finished adjusting the doors, mounted the front end, replaced all the door latches, and installed the steering intermediate shaft. He named the truck Project Stripped, mainly because half the factory threaded holes are stripped out.

Worked on my own saturday. Installed the condensor and as much of the AC as I could. The vintage air kit comes with 3 open ended AC hoses that you have to cut to length. So I fit them up, cut to length and marked the alignment. Have to get them crimped this week. Installed the heater hoses and the PS return line. Made sure the existing PS pressure line had the right orientation so I just need to get a metric end installed this week. Also finished replacing the battery tray bottom that I started on the day before. POR15d it and got it bolted in place.

Another set of hands stopped by today. Installed the original under hood wiring harness, wired up the starter, and installed new battery cables. We mounted up the LS1 Efans to the radiator. They fit up to the radiator surprisingly well. Not a lot of clearance on between the front drive and the fans. Thats the down side to these motor mounts. We cut up the 05 Silverado hoses that I picked up with the water pump and the cooling system is almost done. Went ahead and threw the carb and fuel block on.

Almost there. Still have some wiring to do and long list of bits a pieces I need to pick up this week to button it up. It will run by next Sunday, hopefully it will drive, steer, and stop too.
