Very nice. The chassis looks great. I like how you used a lot of the interior controls switches and custom mounted them in the steel dash.

Re: 1970 C20 long bed Duramax, Allison, on a 2003 4x4 chassis
Thanks. It makes using the 2003 wire harness easier because except the vintage AC unit everything else is direct plug in so should have hopefully very little issues.

Loving it! Way to make it your own, or how GM should have made one! Good luck on meeting your deadline, I have faith you will do it, came along ways in fairly short time compared to some projects, especially mine.

Primered the bed this morning. Finally it's all one color again.

Re: 1970 C20 long bed Duramax, Allison, on a 2003 4x4 chassis
And now we have a hitch. Lots of cutting and reinforcing on the 2003 hitch to get it back and under the license plate holder.

Re: 1970 C20 long bed Duramax, Allison, on a 2003 4x4 chassis
The wiring so far has bee no issue. The way I'm doing this project I am retaining all of the 2003 wire harness and using all of the 2003 components so it remains plug and play. The only thing that I need to Separate off the wire harness is the AC unit. This all required more fab work to fit all the 2003 components and wiring into the body but it retains all the functions. I think I'll have the only 70 Chevy with air bags. Lol

Re: 1970 C20 long bed Duramax, Allison, on a 2003 4x4 chassis
Did you use the factory intercooler/ radiator and everything off the 03? I guess it all fit between the grill and fan?
