Re: Project 1966 C-10 LSx
Well....

Re: Project 1966 C-10 LSx
I was thinking the exact same thing. That really doesn't look too bad.. Nothing beats the stock gauge look in my opinion though.

Re: Project 1966 C-10 LSx
I like those new style frame mounts from CPP. Can't find them online though. Do you have a part number for them?

you can't find them on the CPP website.... only on ebay. the only thing i ordered from them... and it was on Ebay. the CPP crossmember I bought from summit (and paid I think 3 or 4 bucks more to do so.. but didn't have to deal with the headache that comes dealing directly with CPP.) The Dirty Dingo mounts I thought were better in construction than the CPP sliders by looking at them I at least though. (# of slider bolts). Was very happy with the fitment and construction of the dingo sliders. The poly engine mounts were 'interesting' to wrestle with. but no avail..its in.. and energy suspension makes good stuff....

Re: Project 1966 C-10 LSx
Got some goodies in and some tasks crossed off....
Enjoy! Doug Thorley 324-y headers for a 67-72 LS swap I went with these due to the exit angle vs. the 322-y (1-7/8 primaries) or the 323-y (67-72 1-7/8 primaries) which both sets exit at a down toward the ground angle almost like a shorty.... the 324-y's (1-5/8" primaries only) exit straight out the back.. above the rear of the frame rail.. and will be able to go straight out and over my trans x-member and right thru my trailing arm member (after I hole saw/reinforce it) TACKED TEST FIT OEM 66' PEDAL LINKAGE

Re: Project 1966 C-10 LSx
Yup....the 1966 should perform exaclty as my 2012 5.3L in regard to capabilities of daily driver reliability status when its all said and done.
EFI, Overdrive 4L60e, DBW, good MPG (pending how heavy my right shoe is that day).... will also have 2005 front 40/40/20 front bench/center console jump. (Still will have steering/brakes suspension for next year to upgrade)

Nice! How much did they set you back? How are you going to mount up the center console with those odd angled brackets?
