Annabelle's transformation 85 C10 project

[panhead671]

All right guys...this is not gonna be a quick build, nor is it gonna be a show truck...simply going for something a lil different...

Meet Annabelle...an 85 C10 LB...she's got 133,000 miles on her and is all original...perfect interior and only a few spots of surface rust...

Granted, she looks good just as she is, but she has asked for some modifications...starting with getting rid of the sissy V-6 under the hood...

Like I said, this is gonna be a lil different...it would have been easy to buy a nice, new crate motor, but...I found a 68 caprice that had been totalled in 1970 in a car graveyard...the Caprice had 16,000 miles on it and under the hood was a 396 with a turbo 400 attached...after handing over a few hundred dollars, the 396 was mine...

We are just getting started and here are few pics to start things off
