68 C10 Fully Tubbed LS1/T400 Swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SavageSpeed · 05-26-2007, 01:45 PM

Hey everyone I'm new to the board
I thought I would share my latest project with you all.
We've taken my 68 stepside and made a few frame modifications in order to acomadate our 18in wide Mickey thompsons and 4 link in the rear. We've just got our speed and performance ls1 mounts and some 73 chevy mounts to drop the motor into my car to check clearances before painting my frame. Heres some pictures for now i will be updating often.

My truck before we started

Thank for checking out my post please let me know what you think and feel free the ask me questions, until next time.

very sweet man, id love to do this to my 67 shortstep

SavageSpeed · 05-26-2007, 05:45 PM

The tires are 29x18r15 Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R.
It's a 68 front clip I'm not sure where the grill came from. Thats how the truck looked when i bought it. I will be completely redoing the entire car and painting it a different color. Here are a few more pic's that i just took.

Just a couple of frame shots after cleaning
