I just stumbled across this thread. Sweet work guys. I'm pondering a LS swap. Where did you come across the motor?

We need to get all the Georgia boys together when you get this back on the road.

I definitely agree. The motor came from Just Chevy Trucks. I got to hear and see it run, and it included the accessories and flashed and upgraded harness on my PCM

So sexy

Holley Fuel Pressure Regulator. This will have a new gauge mounted in the dash (Autometer 2174)



Here it is getting ready to get the exhaust installed. The goal here is for the exhaust to be tucked up in the frame area. Remember how the exhaust was hanging below the frame, even though I asked for it to be above it?
Keep looking...




Paul at Conyers Muffler putting in work...







That @$$ looks good...I am hoping to introduce it to a lot of people this summer. LOL




^^Notched the frame to make clearance. We will be boxing all of this in shortly. So no worries there. The new air lines will also run on the passenger side. Getting rid of the DOT PVC stuff and going with hard lines for safety and security.




Flowmaster 70 Series.

Productive day planned - but before I tell you about today, let me share with you what we completed yesterday! IT was a great day!

Fuel System is compete! Woohoo!

So, all of this:

(and actually, a WHOLE lot more -6AN and -8AN fittings and hoses/aluminum line), and we are here:



Please remember that the wires that you see bundled up back here are from the cab and inside the engine compartment. None of these wires live back here, but they had to while the cab is off.

Today's tasks include:


Floor Pans


Cowl and Firewall Shaving



Inner and Outer Rocker Panels

Cab repair was the flavor of yesterday.

We were able to get a lot of that done on the Dragon frame. The passenger side cowl, and the firewall were completed with the patches.

Take a look:







Just so you know, I cut the infected area out, and Walter made a piece from C10 scrap metal to fill it in. That shows that we are being green and recycling (reducing our carbon footprint ).



Beginning on the firewall. Take a look at my floor. (This is coming out)



You can kind of see my GMC Sierra in the background (red)







Walt is feeling good about what we have done so far

Cleaning the welds...


All done! Will clean and paint after test fitting.

[502ms]

Test fit cab on frame after the new modifications (FPR, trans/engine/exhaust). All fittings are good.


Energy Suspension (Poly) - for cab and core support


Chrissy loves Dirty D

The FPR Mount is not an issue. That and the AN fittings are unaffected.

[502ms]

Getting ready to cut out the floor pans, as well as trim the trans tunnel a little bit at the back (see marking). We also established my desired seating position, and I have a nice surprise in store for you guys...
