Re: 72 K30 Build
Speaking of flatbeds, did you scrap the bed that came on the square body?

Re: 72 K30 Build
So I was a bit worried the big block was going to be a problem because of the 4x4 engine set back. We want to use the RV Cheyenne Super/AC cab once the pass thru is repaired and making a lot of firewall mods would probably make running the factory air difficult. So minimal or no firewall mods is going to be the goal. In and bolted down and it looks great!

Re: 72 K30 Build
It is a little tight oil pan to the front crossmember. The right motor mount is loose/broken which may let it settle a little more than it would normally. Right now the oil pan is touching the diff breather hose and its hold down clamp that is attached to the crossmember. I'll reroute that hose a little later and see how it sits. We didn’t move the motor forward so oil pan to diff is not going to be an issue. Next step is going to be getting the cab back on my earlier marks and see what is going to happen with firewall clearance.

Re: 72 K30 Build
OK waiting on some turkey, so time to update the build thread with some more progress pics. I really like what I'm seeing, with the cab on my previous marks we have at least 1/2" clearance everywhere.

Re: 72 K30 Build
I don't think the cab could go any further forward without really lifting it off the frame. We'll have to check and see if a GM HEI is going to fit?
