Sorry, I should have said I swapped the same engine. Mine has the 4L60E auto tranny.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual

making a little progress.. The cab is welded and primed. Now its time to mock up the engine/trans mount and tear the frame down for powder coating.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual

At last I get to see one of these trucks that doesn't start out looking like Swiss Cheese, & that doesn't have to occupy the first 10-plus pages of the build thread just "patching" all the holes everywhere.

WOW ! what a super-clean starting point for a project.

Looking forward to following this one.

Thanks for the compliments!! I am setting the cab on the frame this week so I can position the computer inside the cab - hopefully with no mods to the harness.

Looks good so far. I am doing the same build right now, but I am a little ahead of you. Check out my build thread. I tried to be specific about the parts that I used hoping that I could help out the next guy. Good luck.

Love the look of the smooth cab. I wish the cab I had in my garage looked that good!

Did you fabricate the gas tank filler piece or does somebody sell a formed filer panel for this spot? I have never seen one for sale.

I found them on the web. The filler neck fit great. you end up using very little filler. I purched all of plates for around $80 with shipping. Saved me time.
