No longer For Sale...

Are you going to tear into now? I hope to see some updates soon, if so.

Good!!! It seemed a shame to get rid of her when you have almost all the pieces/parts to make her whole. I saw where you said you may swap her to a '68 frontend...if you do, I may be able to help with a few pieces, just let me know. It'd be a great excuse to go to the beach for the weekend

I would really like to have Hart_Rod's '68 but there just isn't any interest in this truck so it's time to get started on building it. I am seriously thinking about swapping to the '68 style front end if I can find some clean original sheet metal. We'll see...

C10_ustacould · 10-18-2014, 09:10 PM

Picked up a LOW mile LS1/4L60E combo today!

**nlped** · 10-18-2014, 09:20 PM

Nice!!!

Thanks Tommy, as my old shop teacher would say, "time to crap or get off the pot!"

Bennett68C10 · 10-19-2014, 09:25 AM

Awesome, love the new power plant. Can't wait to see some updates

slowcpe · 10-19-2014, 10:20 AM

Sweet. Sounds like a busy winter.

shearjs · 10-20-2014, 08:32 PM

Can't wait to see the progress Buck. This makes me want to tear back into mine for a PB Coilover setup.

C10_ustacould · 10-21-2014, 09:39 PM

The two getting acquainted...

Glad you decided to keep it! Love the LS1 swap plans.

C10_ustacould · 11-01-2014, 07:08 PM

Played around in the garage a little today. Installed an actual 6 cylinder tachometer, it's nice to know what RPM the old stove-bolt is turning.

After pulling the grill I found some evidence to help answer the question about this strange hole in the firewall.

I figure the truck had an aftermarket A/C unit at some point. Not really a big deal but I have been curious about it since the truck was delivered. Mystery solved!!

duallyjams · 11-10-2014, 07:00 PM

Sure you'll find some more mysteries.

C10_ustacould · 11-11-2014, 10:01 PM

Got quite a bit done today...

Oh, and the bed is ready to be removed.

It was really good to get some work done!
