Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
thanks. checked it out, good stuff! my control arms are almost done, we are moving the ball joint locations and using scp spindles to help the front end geometry. steve at hot rods to hell in northern ca, is helping me with the suspension. he specializes in truck trailing arm suspensions.

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
sweet build! are those the Doug Thorley headers built for '67-'72 LSx conversions? I hope this doesn't come out wrong...... I only ask as they look like they are and if so, I'd think maybe they are a bit small for your powerplant? I would think with that much HP you'd need at least 1 3/4" primaries, or bigger?

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
I'd say!
moving back another 3" looks like it would require some firewall work?

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
couple hours today. after fighting with the cab yesterday, i checked out my scrap pile and found enough steel drops from other jobs to build a cab cart and a lift bar. should make floor swapping easier. glen
