Thanks Shane I would dig to have you as a neighbor. I really do enjoy driving it. Here is a pic from a few weeks ago near Hunington beach, my third trip to CA. In the truck.

Had a great weekend with my family and friends at the Henderson Super Run. There were over a 1,000 awesome cars and trucks on display, and I took home a sweet award!

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Wow!!! I just read all 32 pages of this thread and what a build and great job on the truck! Definitely inspiring for me to start back in on my truck since it has been sitting for the past 2 years. Glad to see you're getting great use out of it!

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Awesome build thread.
You have your front wheels placed perfect. Did your suspension change your hub offset? Curious on the backspace of your wheel and tire combo and if you have any rub at that ride height. |

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
do you by chance have any numbers for the trans crossmember? look at cpp and they only have round ones. like the sq/rectangle like you have.
do you have it solid mounted or have a flexible mount between the two? one last thing could you take some measurements of the crossmember for me if it is not too much of a bother. might just fab one if i can't find the square one. thanks in advance

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
I haven’t logged onto the site for a while and thought I would say hello to everyone. I have been enjoying my truck and cruising it every chance I get. This site was a huge motivator while I was doing my frame off.

Hi Mark,
I live in the Vegas area and would love to know who's your paint guy, you both did a great job. Reading your build has given me hope that I may get to drive my truck someday too. Thanks, Steve |

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Great build! I sent a PM today. I also wondered if you could elaborate on your vintage air part numbers for everything and your engine accessory bracket system. I have the stock GEN III truck LM7 engine and am trying to find out if your system will work the same on my truck.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Great build! I'm very interested in your AC routing, how did you deal with the inner wall to the cowl? The outer is easy, Panel over the big hole, but you have to go through the inner to get to it. If you just blow it open, then you'open to the air. I'd love to get a detail pic of the inside. I'm preparing to do the same thing and was pondering this very thing over the weekend. Thanks for any help you can give.
