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 :chevy:

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

Then i took off the front end and did the undercoating and installed the front disc conversion to it adding the 2" drop spindles and 2" drop springs

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

Looking great. My next build will be a 67-72 for sure.

If its looking to small in there for you Ive seen engine covers made to cover the valve covers and coil packs, make it look like a bbc they used them on a episode of Gearz TV, their made by holley. Idk how they'd work with the turbo once you get them but might be worth looking into. Heres the link from holleys online catalog http://www.holley.com/242-1.asp

Are those from Early Classic Enterprises? Nice workmanship. Is that a 6L80E? The engine may look small in there, but it sure does look good in there. Doing a good job. Are you trying to make it to the LS1Truck shootout?
