You need two tools in life: duct tape and WD-40. If it moves and it shouldn't, you use duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, you use WD-40.

Re: project lownslw64

I got to go over and see this build in person today. Freakin sweet frame and suspension. He is obviously taking his time and doing it right. He gave me lots of good advice toward my eventual build. We have alot of common goals with our trucks. I'm really happy that he let me come over and check it out. Great guy.

Thanks lownslw. My offer stands, anytime you need an extra hand, give me a call.

Re: project lownslw64

update: I installed my ls1/4l60e into my truck. It is a tight fit! I still need to mount my trans x-member but it is close to where it needs to be.

Re: project lownslw64

Looks good

It sure sits up high, but I guess that's a good thing with a truck designed to sit on the frame.

Re: project lownslw64

well it's been awile so i thought i should update what i've been up to.. I put some new motor mounts in to move the motor up towards the front of the truck a half of a inch. I installed my core support and my new aluminum griffin radiator. I cut out my old trans tunnel to install a high hump trans tunnel for more clearance. I will post some pics tomorrow. next week, hopefully I am going to start to run all the stainless tubing for my air ride.
