Sorry, I should have said I swapped the same engine. Mine has the 4L60E auto tranny.

I done a ls1 and 6-speed swap in my wifes 67 camaro, bought 90% of everything I needed from street & performance in Mena,arkansas.

trkfrk · 11-15-2010, 08:23 PM

making a little progress.. The cab is welded and primed. Now its time to mock up the engine/trans mount and tear the frame down for powder coating.

Isnt it against the law to have a garage that clean and organized? What a nice place to work in... Great work keep the pics coming!!!

19seventeeCustom · 11-15-2010, 10:11 PM

Where is the computer going? are you modifying the stock harness, or custom?
Whats your plans for a drop? static or bag?

sorry for all the questions im doin a 70 lsx/60e swap very soon

sleepertruck72 · 11-15-2010, 10:51 PM

Nice progress, that truck should be fun to drive with a 6-spd

At last I get to see one of these trucks that doesn't start out looking like Swiss Cheese, & that doesn't have to occupy the first 10-plus pages of the build thread just "patching" all the holes everywhere.

WOW ! what a super-clean starting point for a project.

Looking forward to following this one.

jay6891 · 11-16-2010, 07:16 PM

Really nice clean cab. I wish mine would started off that way. I am jealous.

EdB · 11-16-2010, 07:19 PM

Looks great. It is amazing for me to see one with
such a little bit of rust.

Jacfourteen · 11-16-2010, 08:14 PM

Great start! keep us posted.

nickp51chevy · 11-16-2010, 08:25 PM

Sweet, a six speed! I'll bet that's gonna be one fun ride when it's done.

aboyer · 11-17-2010, 11:56 PM

I like it so far, what color are you going to paint it?

Thanks for the compliments!! I am setting the cab on the frame this week so I can position the computer inside the cab - hopefully with no mods to the harness.

67C10BUB · 11-23-2010, 07:12 AM

Looks good so far. I am doing the same build right now, but I am a little ahead of you. Check out my build thread. I tried to be specific about the parts that I used hoping that I could help out the next guy. Good luck.

Splash4195 · 11-23-2010, 10:27 AM

Good project!

70 shorty · 11-23-2010, 10:54 AM

Love the look of the smooth cab. I wish the cab I had in my garage looked that good!

*mrhino* · 11-23-2010, 11:48 AM

Boy! all this looks familiar. (from my build) keep up the good work, looks great.

I found them on the web. The filler neck fit great. you end up using very little filler. I purched all of plates for around $80 with shipping. Saved me time.

ozman3803 · 11-23-2010, 07:45 PM

Ck out ebay, there is a reputable seller on there that sells variuos types of fill plates for our trucks. Can't remember the name, sorry.
