Smile '72 LS2/4L60E swapped shortbox C10

First time register, long time reader of these posts, figured I'd finally join up and share my own truck. This is my 1972 C10 Deluxe shortbox. The truck has been in my family since it was new, my dad bought it brand new down in Sacramento, California. After originally ordering a C20 SuperCheyenne 4WD longbox, he drove down to the dealer only to have found that they sold the truck. Happily however, they sold him this truck, a 1972 Deluxe 2WD shortbox with a 350 and a TH350 trans with $500 off sticker price. Fast forward almost 40 years, I was bequeathed the truck at 15. Throughout the course of the coming years, I drove this truck until the motor started burning more oil than I could put in. After the death of my mother, I and a great friend who runs a Hot Rod fabrication shop embarked on giving this truck the motor it deserved and that motor was an LS2 and a 4L60E trans out of a wrecked 2006 Pontiac GTO. The truck has a rebuilt 12 bolt, 3.73 Yukon Gear ring and pinion, Eaton TruTrack positraction along with a AFCO aluminum radiator with dual 12" electric fans. Fuel system is a Boyd Welding fuel cell(19 gal) with an Aeromotive 700HP capable fuel pump The truck has about 5,300 miles on it as of my posting this thread. I'm 17 now and it's my current daily driver. I average about 23 on the highway with around 20 MPG in mixed driving. Thanks so much for reading! Name:  20150529_191908.jpg
