Re: Project "Sweet 16"

Progress report.

We have cleaned up the under cab area of the frame and cut off the S10 cab mounts, in prepartaion for body mount brackets. Today my son and I picked up the engine/trans combo. Didn't get a 700R4 as planned, but such a sweet deal on a turbo 350 that we sacrificed it in order to get the truck going.

Engine is mounted in the S10 location right now. Once we mount the body, we'll decide how far back to move it.

Looks like we'll be making the drive to Iowa next weekend to pick up the truck. Will post pics of it when it gets home.

First photo is Michael grinding the remnants of the cab mounts on the frame. Second it the new powerplant mounted in the frame.
