Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Craig,
Joined about this time last year when I bought my '66. Drove it home, parked it in the shop and started tearing it down. It's funny how I started off to do just a few things and looked one day and on;y the cab was left on the frame. Decided a few weeks ago to set aside the big block and go with a built LS3 and that's when I came across your journey. WOW! Awesome job with the post and pics! What an adventure this post has been. Great read and Congrats, Congrats, Congrats! I'm a new grandpa and loving it. I just got my frame back from paint and ready to start my build. You mentioned in your post about posting a build sheet or something of the sort. Were you able to do that? Again, Awesome job! |

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Thanks for the kind words 66, and yes being a Grandpa is awesome
![]() I never did put together a build sheet, one of the many things I thought I would do but never got around to it ![]() I think most items are in the thread, if you have any detailed question don't hesitate to post them here. I will be glad to help or answer with anything you got. Good Luck, Craig Quote:

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Beautiful build, I am just starting the research phase for my grandfathers 63 C-10 that he left to me and my brother 12 years ago.
I have a couple questions. I really digg that orange color, do you have a paint code? Do you have any type of parts/suppliers list? What did you do for a complete harness for the driveline and for the trucks electrics? Posted via Mobile Device |
