Intro and pics of my build

[CHP c-10]

Another try at posting my images...


Hello everyone,
-I will try this again, just spent two hours downloading pics, typing a big description etc, then the screen said I couldn't complete because there was something wrong with my log in!?
Anyway, so here is a quick description then I will post pics...
I bought a 68 SWB truck from the forum "trucks for sale" section of this forum. Probably paid a little more for it than I should have, and some of the descriptions weren't totally accurate, but I had the 'bug' bad and wanted to get started.
Pretty much a rust free truck (replaced the passenger rocker though), and straight with bad paint. I ended up removing the BBC and TH400, and blasted and painted the frame and truck (turns out there was quite a bit of bondo).
Pretty straight forward build plan to be a very nice driver. I removed the factory heat/fan and smoothed that section of the firewall. I smoothed the cab seam along the top rear portion of the cab. I filled the gas filler hole, and filled the factory side marker lights and replaced with factory cut out/lights from a 69 camaro. I am taking it to the mechanics shop this week to install a 5.3 with 4l60e from a 2005 avalanche (28K miles) this week. Then replace the rear drums with wilwoods (still waiting on parts - CPP!!) , measure and then I will order 20" 8.5 front and 10 rear Boyd Espada wheels.
I have wilwood D52 front brakes and new booster etc (CPP) installed, One piece products window kit with power, Boyd's welding under bed fuel tank with pump and sending unit.
Will install Vintage heat and air, newer chevy truck seats (with integrated seat belts)...Pic coming
