    New project 1969 C10

    I got myself a new toy last April cuz i was tired of the slowhoe breaking all the time the tahoe is to damn heavy and been working on it lil by lil and now so far i have under coated the whole frame and under the cab and bed, did a front disc conversion did a 4-5 drop, added new seats to it and already have a lsx swap in the works. Here are a few pics of it and the progress

    When i first got it it was lightly wrecked in the front and got really lucky the truck has no rust on the cab its all just surface rust and had a pretty clean interior..




    This is the day i got it back from the shop i had the hood, grill and bumper replaced



    Then i took it home and started to tear it apart took off the bed then pressure washed the frame under coated it then installed new lowering springs and shocks
















    NOW 69 C10: 4-5 DROP,DISC CONVERSION SOON LSX LY6 6 SPEED SWAP,SOON BOOSTED

    THEN07 TAHOE: LY6 SWAP, 4L80 SWAP, YANK 3000,75# INJECTORS,HOLLEY INTAKE,VOLANT CATBACK AND A NP FRONT MOUNT SNAIL WITH A SILVERADO HD FRONT CONVERSION

    The original wheels didnt fit so i had to use the tahoe ones on but i changed the tire to a smaller profile so it could look better and had to get adapter for the rear so the wheels could fit cuz the bore size on the axle is to big






    Then i installed som RSX seats and here are some pics of the interior










    This is how the truck looks now





    This is the beast that is going in it LY6 swap 6.0l with a 6 speed automatic trans and going to take it soon to NELSON PERFORMANCE for the wiring and soon boost!!!!
