Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread

Nice build.
Are those original early style rocker covers, or reproduction?

Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread

Got the motor and trans installed this weekend. Could not find the right torque converter bolts so that was a bit frustrating. Need to do some digging for the 4701rv torque converter.

And the last snag I kind of anticipated was the drag link hitting the oil pan. It is very close, only about an inch. I think I can bend the drag link just enough make this work. Otherwise I don't know if there is any aftermarket solution for a different shaped drag link.

All in all I'm excited to start the exhaust!
