Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"

how does your placement match to the dimension I gave you. I fit mine with the cab on.

I'll bet when your axle moves up, it will line up. You haven't messed with the perch pin placement. Measure in a straight line

I will try it. The reason I even looked at it was becuase my shocks were to long and was wondering if it was the rear end closer to the shock mount.

Glad you asked. You gave me a measurement of 18-1/8" from front of engine. You said " engine block under water pump " under the water pump are a few different areas so I am not quite sure if I am right. I have to be close but before I drill the mounts I need to know for sure. Hey I wonder. If I could measure my sons c10 to the radiator support should be the same right???

Should be the same. On my engine below the water pump is a flat spot front of block that I measured from.
I checked my frame height off the floor and 33-5/8" from top of frame to ground front and back. The tires are 29-1/2" tall. 6" lift front springs. stock springs with shackle flip kit.

Before you make it permanent I'd throw a cab on it just to be sure it's far enough forward to clear, IMO this is the biggest deal. Also a factory transfer case crossmember should set the rear height pretty close but if not you can tell with the cab on also. You kept the motor high enough and centered again using a factory crossmember (scalping the top of the stands kept the height). Your motor mount arrangement looks comparable in height to a factory clam shell style (which could be measured). FYI, my 84 K35 engine crossmember was centered in the frame. Any offset side to side would be built into the stands I believe.

Yeah I was hoping to not have to put the cab on but probably the best. I looked at dwilbers and wasted incomes builds both have there engines in different places. Actually wasted incomes is farther forward and DWilbers is back a little ( I think) I went off the pictures referencing the holes in the frame which I believe are in the same place on all 4x4 frames. With the current stands and TC crossmembers my engine/trans is at 4* down.
Thanks for the help guys
