I like your wheel and tire set up what size are you runing and did you narow your axle or just offset the wheels.
Truck looks nice bro the stance and wheels look just right.

Thanks! I'm looking for a Maggie. It will probably be "stock" until then.

Well I finally got the Porterbuilt tubular trailing arms installed. It took me a little while to figure out the correct rear spring to get everything back where I wanted it. I originaly had a 6" dropped spring, now it's a 4" one. I also weighed all the new and old parts just to see what the weight difference was. It looks like I lost about 50 lbs off of the rear, plus it looks super cool! I'm not sure when I'm going to get time to install the front tubular stuff, I may wait until I do the engine swap.... Here are some pictures of the rear. I also got the Vintage A/C condenser mounted on the burb. I'll probably go with this setup in the 68 eventually.

Nice work boss! Lets see a pic of the stance!

OK guys, I love the power of the 383 and the vortech, but I'm a LS guy at heart...., so here's revision 3.2.9.7a......

.

Building blocks: LQ4, L92 heads, Magnuson TVS1900, Thorley big tube headers, 4L80E........I'm looking for around 700HP at the crank with about 600 to the wheels. I want streetability, reliability and decent fuel mileage (

). Here's a link to motor build up page:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=551464

Please reply here on that link with suggestions and recommendations (Cam/springs/stall). Thanks in advance.

Nice !!

I have been playing with LS based engines for a while. Have a 427 stroker LS3 in my 2010 Camaro with a Kenne Bell 2.8 Supercharger on 12 psi and 93 pump gas making about 900 flywheel and 735 to the tire. ( Auto eats up 18%).

Its a LOT of fun, should really be a blast in a C10 !!!!

I run a custom grind Comp Cam that was spec by Jannetty Racing, and my convertor is a 2600 stall. I am using Patriot Performance "Gold" Springs on stock LS3 heads that were ported by Patriot Performance also.

Good Luck with your project, its gonna be a runner for sure!
