More great progress Scott! Are you rewiring the entire truck as well?

Re: "BUILD: 1970 C10 LWB--->SWB “Jumping Cholla”
Thanks!
Yes, the whole truck will be re-wired. Leaning toward the "Classic Update" American Autowire kit over the Painless Performance one. I haven't seen really bad reviews for either one, just seems like more dudes like the Amercian kit over the painless.

Re: "BUILD: 1970 C10 LWB--->SWB “Jumping Cholla”
8/19-8/25 Progress update...You can blow these trucks apart way faster than they go back together
I want to get the 454 hot wired and started/running before I get a wiring harness and wire the whole truck. I've been shooting to meet a self-imposed goal by Labor Day and I think I'll miss it by a few weekends.
I did a terrible job of taking pictures this weekend, I'll update the tread with some pics in the coming days. Here's a couple of the vents and rear shock mod.

Re: "BUILD: 1970 C10 LWB--->SWB “Jumping Cholla”
I love seeing your progress man! It gives me motivation to keep moving forward with mine. It has been so miserably hot though, that I have slacked a bit. Looking great man!!

Yup, that looks as close as mine is. Good to know it fits!

Re: "BUILD: 1970 C10 LWB--->SWB “Jumping Cholla”
Labor Day weekend progress update...
I had bought a new set of power steering hoses from Speedway the other week but I'm going to return them. The lengths are perfect but the fitting that connects to the pump is a 45 degrees and it moves the hose too close to the header tube on cylinder #1. I found a set on Summit with a 90 degree fitting that should work much better. Since the serpentine belt setup I have on the 454 uses a new style pump, I needed to get an adapter (Part Number 605SOL) for M16 x 1.5 to 5/8 in.-18 inverted flare to make the hose fit up to the original steering box. I finally got to install the new CPP tilt column. Pretty straight forward install with good directions included. The new column comes in a hard plastic case, almost like a rifle case, to protect it during shipping. Once that was installed, I put in my new rag joint at the gear box, new u-joint at the column, and a new shaft to connect everything together. Next mini project was the transmission cooler and lines. The an fittings I had bought forever ago were the wrong size for the supply/return on the trans case so I'm stalled on running those lines until those pieces come in. I moved on to mounting the trans cooler. I went with a plate and frame over tube and fin coil. I've never liked the mounting style they send with any of these coolers (with the plastic studs that sandwich the heat exchangers of the radiator/cooler together) so I bend up and made my own brackets out of some 1"x1/8" flat stock and mounted it in front of the core support. I wanted to have the cooler on the passenger side of the core but after looking at the Vintage Air condenser coil that I will most likely run at some point, I saw that wasn't going to work out since the drier would be in the way. So I moved the cooler over to the drivers side and bend my brackets so that a new VA condenser coil assembly could slide right behind it. Hopefully my holistic planning pays off and when it comes time to do A/C and the coil can be installed with minimal teardown of the cooler setup. I need to pick up some bulkhead fittings to install in the core support to connect all the hoses from the remote cooler, radiator cooler, and the trans. Inching closer to starting the engine

Re: "BUILD: 1970 C10 LWB--->SWB “Jumping Cholla”
Nice work Scott! Are you happy with the CPP column so far? I am looking at getting one of those as well. My original column is beat to hell and I figured it would be better to just go with a new one vs. try to rebuild the old one. Plus it would be nice to have a tilt mechanism to boot. Also, are you going to leave yours black, or paint it the body color??

Re: "BUILD: 1970 C10 LWB--->SWB “Jumping Cholla”
Small build updates...
Pics are kinda repetitive from my other posts cuz most of these updates are kinda small but it's the smaller steps that make the progress.
