Pushrodjr's 1969 C10 Frame off update

This project to date has taken me right at 4 years. Its finally being completed and hopefully be done by July. This was my grandpa's truck in 69 and then went to my dad. My dad planned on rebuilding it but passed away before he got started. I drove it for some time and noticed that the old Nova 350 motor that was in it started to smoke. I wanted to change valve seats, then. Bam one thing after another started coming off. Engine was dyno'd at 537 HP and 523 Ft/lbs with a carb 93 Octane. I haven't run it on the Fitech yet.

Fully built 383 stroker
Scat rotating assembly
comp cam xr294hr
fully roller system
Fitech 600HP Power Adder
Summit + custom ceramic coating headers
TKO600
Disc front/ drum rear
15x10 front 265/50r15 Hankook H101
15x12 rear 295/50r15 Hankook H101
CPP 5.5/4 drop suspension
HDX Dakota digital
Sappele wood bed with hidden fasters
Key phob actuated wood bed strip for fuel access
list is long but its been a long build.

I have Engineered the heck out of it with out access to a machine shop.

If you have questions I have no problem to help answer.

Nice little helper you got there, and good progress on the truck!

I'm hoping your valve covers will clear your brake booster, I guess you could always go to the 8" booster if you had to.

I have planned using the Hydroboost setup. I didn't have a problem with vacuum but from the beginning I planned using the Hydroboost setup so I wouldn't have to worry about powering the booster.
