Wow man....
That is about as far as I can get, and about as technical as I can speak at this time. This looks awesome!

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Thanks, I think they will match the overall truck well, not over the top looks wise but high tech.
The Sanderson headers are very nice as well but those 1 7/8" tubes make all the difference to me Quote:

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Are you keeping a list of all the parts and venders you're using for this build? I'd like to copy your notes like back in high school (lol). Is it weird that I'd like to have the exact same setup on my 64? Every time I look at this build, my mouth starts drooling. Plus showing your pictures to the spouse is keeping her excited for my build to start up - so keep em' coming! Thanks for sharing the build.

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
I'm thinking I can use the empty port on the left that had a plug in it for the tempature sending unit that came with the dakota gauges and leave the stock unit on the other side in place so the ECM can still control the fan?

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Got a lot of little things buttoned up this weekend. Measured for the drive shaft which I will order tomorrow. Taking the radiator to the shop to add steam line.
Need to drill two holes to finish transmission cross member, install radiator & fan, run some power, get mufflers on and see if this thing starts.

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Awesome as always, I do have a concern that you may already know. The fuel line is really close to the headers. Do you have a plan for that or thought about it? Just lookin' out for ya.

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
What are you gonna use for the coolant cross over tubes on the 4 corners of the heads? Noticed from the pic that they look to be exposed still.
