4. The factory AC compressor would not work with the older PB version, I went with a complete Holley accessory setup.

5. You'll need different front wheel tubs (SloshTubz or Hills Rod & Custom).

6. You'll also need to raise the rear bed floor, meaning you will need shortened rear wheel tubz. I'll put a shameless plug in here for my ChubTubz, . http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=675754

7. You'll need new hood hinges. If you are going to use PBFab hood hinges, I make a bracket that will allow you to bolt them to your hood without welding.

You can check out my build thread as I encountered most of the stuff that you will: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=551258

Check it out and let me know if you have any questions - Rob
Appreciate the input. Truck looks awsome. Here is Brandon from porterbuilts input which pretty much confirms what you said. The tall manifold may or may not work. More than likely, it will not, but we have had some guys have luck with it. I believe they did have to run a different accessory set-up though.

"You should be ok with a 7" booster mounted on the firewall.
No, stock headers will not work. The only headers we know will fit 100% are the set we sell. You can order them direct from our dealer c10shop.com. They have them in stock.
Yes, the a/c compressor will have to be relocated. You can get a bracket from Dirty Dingo. "

Sure ill have some questions for you as the build goes on
