Brand New Here and Doing a Full Frame Off Build with Air and A LS Motor! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

El Captain · 11-25-2008, 03:54 AM

Hey Guys , Like it says Im building a early 60's C10 i just got the frame stripped down and sandblasted and Im just waiting on my notch so i can weld it on and send the frame to powder coating! I plan on up dating this thread for the entire build! Also like the heading topic says i am using a Brand New Late modle Chevy 6.0 vortech engine also known as the LS2 and have not yet decided on the Tranny. And im using a Painless wiring harness to do the job with a painless reflashed ECU!
So far i have all the Air suspension and i got it through ***************** and AVS and KP Components. I use these companies quite frequently they are all great companies that i trust and respect! I also have a Late modle chevy re end from a 2003 silverado 6 lug with disk brake and im doing that swap with the help of some new perchs i ordered from CPP. And up front i did the 1989 heavy half swap for a 6 lug disc brake conversion, So now i have a full front and rear disk brake 6 lug brake set up! This what i have so far, I look forwards to meeting some of you and learning some more tricks of the trade! any comments Questions are welcome! Thanks

Welcome to the forums. Can't wait to see pics but in the meantime I do have a question or two. What's the width difference between the stock rear and the 03 Silverado rear? What type of wheel backspacing will be needed for it to work?
