Re: Newbie : 69'C10 LWB to Buick 455/Th400

Long time no posting here
i finally got arround to do some work on my c10 project

its LWB to SWB (because i like SWB s better)
modifying the frame was easy.
i took the cab off to do some rust repair
Pass.Side rockers where done.
I am putting in a high hump trans tunnel for a TH400
and i need to replace the inner roof/window side panel (waiting for the patch panel)

i have a CCP 3/5 lowering kit + 2.5 Front drop spindles and 2" lowering blocks for the rear.

i also ordered a LS Swap/mount/trans cross member kit from TINWORKS
https://tinworksfabrication.com/prod...ember-kit-c10/
there C notch kit
and Traction bar.
that should give me a decent ride.

i was planning on putting a Buick 455 in it and i still think its cool, but since i really want to drive the thing i consider to use a carbed LS.
I have a rebuild SBE, cammed 5.3 sitting here, i am waiting for the Heads to come pack from porting/milling.
I also have a Single plane CARB intake/MSD6014/+ 670cfm Holley here on the shelf i would use for this build to keep it a bit oldschool
This are all parts i have .
As mentioned i have a long tail TH400 here as well that i will use.

another decission i have to make is the Wheels.
i have 22x9 Escalade wheels sitting here i could use and the front hubs seem to fit ( since my truck had a disc conversion sometimes down the road)
or i go all classic
with Steelies 15x8// 15x10/4.5 in the back with meats
