Re: 66 GMC Long to Short LS Swap

Have you considered doing 1/2 cuts on the bottom of the roll pan? It might give you more room for some nice stainless tips. I've always thought it would be really tricky to center exhaust pipes in a round hole.

I thought about the half cuts but decided to try and center the pipes. We'll see how it goes, will be tough for sure

Re: 66 GMC Long to Short LS Swap

Decided to change direction with the wheels and tires. The GM transits are just too big and don't fit the style of the truck very well. Going back to the original stock wheels with wide whites. Took the wheels and got them blasted, shot with epoxy and painted body colour.



I ordered at set of 235/75/15 wide whites from Diamondback Classics which showed up at my door yesterday



I'm going to be running a 1.25" wheel spacer to clear the disk brake calipers. I also picked up a set of 1966 GMC hubcaps off of eBay which I will be restoring. These are quite hard to find in decent shape with them being one year only
