Re: Used Parts Build
Got the inner structure done. Still trying to figure out if I should add additional tubes. I am thinking I should tie the cab mounts to the inner structure. Any thoughts?

Re: Used Parts Build
Thanks guys. I appreciate it.
Got the trans cross member finished. ![]() Everything is welded in. ![]() Going to pull the engine and trans to paint it all then toss the cab back on next unless someone has recommendations otherwise.

Re: Used Parts Build
Are you going to get your exhaust run before putting the cab on? Now seems like a good time to address that.

Re: Used Parts Build
You might want to fit the cab with the eng/trans in before paint....you'll possibly have to cut/grind and tweak something........

My buddy Murp...I know it isn't going to fit. I had to raise the engine an inch or so because I didn't account for the forward sump on the Fbody pan. Thanks for looking out. Should I drop my cab off at your place for paint? I'm thinking a three stage pearl white. If you aren't too busy...

Nothing new with my truck. I have too many projects going on and just haven't done anything with it. I just use it when I need it. I do have a 4" lift and some new tires sitting in the shop ready to go on... and new bed sides ready to go on.... and I still have a lot of work to do on the hood.

Re: Used Parts Build
And the cab is back on. Hopefully permanently!
![]() ![]() ![]() The front is hung up a bit. In shortening the control arms so much I dont have as much drop in airing down. I plan on making tubular ones eventually and will have to fix that.

Re: Used Parts Build
Now we're talking. I have been thinking a lot about the same powerplant in mine lately. You are not helping.

Re: Used Parts Build
The internet makes it easy now. I got most of the turbo stuff from a friend who I did some work for. I found another guy off Instagram/LS1tech who I just copied the set up from and he is going to load his tune on my ECU so I don't have to worry about messing anything up while I play with it before I actually dyno it (if I get that far).

Re: Used Parts Build
The steel shop had 10 feet of stainless 4'' .065 wall tube in the scrap pile so I figured I would try to make it work. It is a bit bigger than I wanted but whatever. I am making two exhausts for it. One for daily driving and one for when I go to cruise nights and meet ups. You can guess what this one is for.
