We're currently making room for the radiator and intercooler we should have it done today I'll post a picture of it with the short nose trucks there sure isn't a lot of room!

Thanks guys! Nice build shortchev I look forward to seeing it done I can imagine how difficult your build is grafting that front end on that chassis can't be fun? C10-72 II no this is the only thread on this project. I'd like check out your 68 though!

We're in the process of dropping the wheel openings 2 1/2" to fill the gaps!
