69 c10 ls swap

Hello to all. I am going to post some pics of my build. I am currently about to start sanding and painting Frame and crossmember. I will post pictures of prior and or current and will make a parts list as well.

NOT INSTALLED YET:
5.3 ls
4L60E
early classics crossmember
Early classics ls mounts and towers
Wait4meperformance tune and moded harness
painted valve covers by urs truly
current performance ceramic coated headers
classic parts body and radiator mounts
lmc under bed blazer tank
corvette servo
walbro pump
corvette regulator

ORIGINAL:
inline 6
3 spd column shift

I had to remove the trans crossmember that was riveted in. Let me start with that is a horrible design however nothing a air Hamer and chisel couldnt take care of. I also pulled the front clip to make easier access. I am currently looking for power brakes and power steering box as well as a stock auto steering column. As of now this is where I am.

Re: 69 c10 ls swap

Duplicolor rust preventative and then top coat was hvt chassis paint. Gloss black. It looks really nice. And I scratched it earlier and hit it again with some paint after everything was dry and u couldn't even tell I touched it up. I will defiantly use this paint again. I like it.
