Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
Put the front end almost back together but with no motor or weight I had no luck with the coil springs. Did get the rear end bolted back in with the springs and shocks mounted. Anyone know if there is a left and right spindle, I say no as they look identical to me.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
Working on the motor and trans now. Had to send the trans through a parts washer, that crap on there would not come off. I stood in one spot with a 4000 PSI pressure washer and it didn't do anything. Motor is bored 30 over with new everything so should be good for the life of this truck now.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
Just catching up on my thread, restored my AC oil cap, although I believe the decal is the wrong one. I believe the right one is blue/white , anyone weigh in.Hopefully this weekend I will mate the motor trans with the frame to give me some room in the shop.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
Rebuilt my AC delco starter with cheap american starter guts. I had two here and thought I would try it and it works great so I get to keep my numbers matching original starter.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
Awesome Build LT1. Can't wait to get started on mine but have to get the garage finished first. I have question what paint did you use for the engine? I'm not going back stock but love the engine color!
