Clean build keep the pics comming..

BlackZ28 · 03-16-2011, 01:13 PM

Your building my dream truck! Any other updates?

BobDuher · 04-08-2011, 01:06 PM

Thanks for sharing your pics....I have a similar build. I have a 72 C10 Shortbed with a 2000 Camaro SS LS1 with auto trans. All of the body is off and getting painted. I'm currently working on the frame. There's not a lot of header options. I think the Doug Thorley's that you have are the best option.

Nova_Cobra64 · 04-09-2011, 12:45 AM

I noticed you still have the shifter in the stock location, do you have any pictures of where the shifter ends up inside the cab? I'm doing an LS3 swap in my truck and will be putting a manual tranny in. I was planning to go with an RS600 but it seems like Keisler isn't terribly eager to do business so I'm thinking of going the T-56 magnum route from a different supplier as it seems like there are too many horror stories out there with the TKO's.

y5mgisi · 04-09-2011, 01:08 AM

Should be one awesome driver when its done!

Sorry for the late reply. see picture where the shifter is located inside the cab. For now I notched the cab floor 1 3/4" X 3 1/2".

Installed front suspension 2.5" drop spindle & 1.5" drop spring

rear end disassembled for PC, new bearings/seals

rear end and all suspension parts PC. installed 6" lowering springs

cab is set back on for now. Waiting on rear disc brakes and tires to set back on the floor.

Thank you for all of the compliments!!!!

Project is looking great. Keep it up.

chapster · 05-21-2011, 08:46 PM

Nice project,

I second the satin or semi on the frame. I did the mirror gloss black also and what alot of extra work.
