Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
 

Nice start to your project. Looking forward to seeing it come together. Working on setting up my S475 now with my current build.

Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
 

Thanks, man. I just read through your build thread and DAMN! Your chassis looks awesome.

Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
 

Thanks!

Once I got the body home, I didnt waste anytime putting it on.

Can I borrow your tractor, lol? Looking good, we are pretty close in our builds!

Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
 

Looks awesome! How much did you have to clearance the cab floor to fit the 4l80e trans? Are you just running a high hump?

Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
 

Just a high hump. I was scared whenever I set the cab on, thinking I was gonna have to get the cut off wheel out. But it fit right on there surprisingly enough.

Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
 

That's great news, I really want to run an 80 instead of a 60!

Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
 

looks real good.

Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
 

Thanks, man!

I was the same way. The money that I was going to have to put into a 60 to be able to handle the turbo just wasn't worth it to me. I just bit the bullet one day and it paid off.

Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
 

I'm looking at mine with my 80e and it looks like a really tight fit. Hope my luck is the same!

Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
 

All these cabs getting sat on their frames.. Good job! Going to be a killer stance.

Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
 

Nice progress looks good as it sits already what did you do with the old trans crossmember and trailing arm crossmember if you want yousell it I'd be interested

Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
 

Thanks! I already sold it. It didn't take long for those to sell at all.

Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
 

Lol yea i kinda figured that but figured i would ask anyways keep up the good work

Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
 

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been busier than a cat covering up **** lately. But went to work on test fitting the rest of the body panels.

And there she is folks. All mocked up. Seeing it like this gets me super motivated. Still a long ways to go but at least I'm heading in the right direction.

Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475

Love this!!

Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
 

Alright guys. Im terrible at updating this. Things have been moving right along. After getting everything mocked up, I tore it all back apart to get ready for powder coat. 1 step forward 2 steps back.

Started getting the frame rails ready. Getting rid of the factory frame bends and welding the steering notches in.

Not terrible for being an amateur welder at best.

Made a couple tabs for fuel and brake bulkheads.
