Rebirth of my 70 GMChevrolet - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Here's the way my truck sits now. Plus the donor vehicle. Yes, that is a 6.0l hiding in there.

Just picked up some leather seats and a 3.73 rear out of a 71 for the project. Baby steps baby.

Looks like a great project coming into the mix

Gathering parts. Transdapt LS motor mounts bought from parts board. $40 rear brakes and e-brakes from 97 Firebird at the u-pull-it. It's been a good week.

Some $40 seats I picked up at the Pullapart recently.

krue · 12-22-2017, 07:05 PM

Ok, got the correct Camaro calipers this time off of a 94 Camaro. Moral of that story is don't trust the junkyard to correctly mark a vehicle, run the vin.

Goodies delivered yesterday. Another piece of the puzzle.

krue · 04-18-2018, 08:52 AM

New to me wheels and tires

krue · 04-19-2018, 11:16 PM

Frame horns make a pretty good work stand. Rear disc brake conversion complete except for plumbing it all up.

Looks good Krue!

Thanks brother, I may hit you up with some questions as I get deeper into the ls swap.
Hauled the donor van off and recouped $420.

**Advanced Design** · 04-21-2018, 07:44 PM

Cool project! Tagging along.

PS...big Dave Ramsey fan.

krue · 04-23-2018, 01:04 PM

So 3 broken exhaust bolts in the 6.0l, 1 long enough to use channel locks on. Other 2 needed left handed bits from Harbor freight which cut really well but didn't bind enough so I held my breathe and used the ez out.

Sweet! Let me know.

Cleaned the bed out for the first time in forever. Then I really cleaned it out. Out with the old, in with the not quite as old. First time she's had matching shoes since I've owned her I think. Little ratchet strap to help move it over and attach the panhard bar.
