67 C10 stepper frame off

[jwilb88]

Well here is a small update on the project although it's not much, I had to go out of town to work a few months so it pretty much put a halt to any progress. On the bright side I have a room full of parts waiting for me to return

Transmission and Converter arrived from PTC

Paint work is in progress, he currently has the front clip in the booth and should have it sprayed in a week or so with weather cooperation. Here are a few pictures of the completed bed pieces.

Some progress finally, got the porterbuilt cross braces, mounts, and tubular shock mount installed.

Engine and transmission are setting on the frame and I'm shooting to install the exhaust in the upcoming weeks if time allows.

No, I had a the block bored to 3.900 (LS1 spec) so essentially its just an iron 5.7 liter. Its got forged manley H beam rods, manley crank, and Mahle pro pistons. I plan on boosting the truck I just haven't decided between procharger or turbo.

Nice build . Who coated your frame . I'm located in Vicksburg but I work in Pearl.

I actually couldn't find anyone with a place big enough to do my frame locally so I used kbs systems frame coat kit. I just wire wheeled the frame before hand. It's pretty good stuff and self leveling so as long as the frame is in good shape it comes out smooth.

Making some progress on the cab finally... It seems like I have been working on this truck forever!
