Nice looking wheels and tires ;) I have the same exact setup on mine :lol: Can never go wrong with TTII's.

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build
 

I may need wheel spacers in rear they almost touch on the inside

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build
 

What are the old rims and size? What are your plans with them? :)

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build
 

Sub'd like where your headed with this.

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build
 

Had some time yesterday so I disassembled front sheet metal. Taking it to have it dustless blasted to remove all the surface rust. Also drilled holes for fender emblems.

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build
 

Good looking c10!! You don't waste no time.

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build
 

Sweet build!

Can you show some pictures of your steam vent tap in to your water pump? Doing the same build on my 68.

Where did you get the mount/holder for your Ecm?

Awesome job!

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build
 

Got the ecm mount on ebay from a company called psi. Steam port was drilled and tapped into front of water pump on a flat spot. I'll try and take a picture this evening for you.

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build
 

Thanks

On another note, my heads had the back steam vents blocked when I bought it. Now, I had already bought a Trick Flow kit that pipes all 4. Do you know if it's necessary to plumb all 4, or does it matter? No one can answer that question in my circles...

Thanks again

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build
 

Getting ready for paint next month. I bought a new cowl hood and fenders. Started taking off all the old under coating from bottom of cab.

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build
 

Got bottom of cab and also bed sprayed with bedliner. Installed cruise lever and switch to the column.

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build
 

Great build thread!
Can't believe I didn't see it before now.

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build
 

Thanks guys. My buddy and I sprayed it in my driveway.

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build
 

Thanks Jeh it's headed off to paint in a few weeks so trying to get all the details figured out.

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build
 

Got firewall holes welded up and started to block off fresh air vents. Got everything loaded up and to the painter today. Also drilled and tapped holed for courtesy light switches in door jambs.
