Can't wait to see it finished. Keep up the good work.

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

Got ridetech lower strongarms to help level out the truck. The rear was sitting A lot lower. Now the inside of the fender is sitting on the tires and it has lowered an inch and a quarter or so. Still has a lot more to go down but I’m going to set it up so it sits level with the rear.

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

this is an awesome build, i"m piecing together a turbo setup right now for mine, so this is getting me stoked.

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

True imaginary thinking you have. The dash idea is awesome to suit your taste. I like how you say the "original dash never did anything for you" so you just simply change it to your liking. Nice!

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

Thanks! Although I can't take all the credit as a few other forum members have also done this dash swap.

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

With the ridetech control arms in the first thing that became very obvious was these inner fenders aren’t going to work. I found frizzle fry’s inner fender post and kind of worked off of that.

Ended up remaking the intercooler mount so I could get a set of filler panels for between the grill and core support. Also, have a pair of viair gen 2 air compressors on the way.

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

Got a 9” tuff stuff booster and got it flush mounted... for the most part. Going to have to modify the steering column bracket a little bit. Also knocked out the studs from the brake pedal bracket so I could mount to this booster. Going to get a rhd s10 master. Hopefully that will be enough for the Brembos. Read about this combo over on the pro-touring forums.

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

Worked on the coldside piping last night. I think I have it pretty much figured out and found a 4” piece for the intake that I think will work out perfect. Also got a dual pack of viair 485c gen 2 compressors. Just need to make the brackets to hold them and the tanks.

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

Got the intercooler piping where I think it needs to be. Still needs welded though.

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

Pushed the truck out of the garage today to clean had to get a picture of it with the c7.

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

The 2 very best choices that a man could want. You've got all bases covered.:chevy:

Saw your C7 on a youtube vid the other day

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

Thanks I enjoy both of them in different ways. Can’t wait for the day I drive the c10 tho.

Great work.

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

I’m sure she does! Lol

Thanks!

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

Got the tank and compressor brackets made and mounted. Two 3 gallon tanks and 2 485c compressors

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

Was going back and forth on the shock location and ultimately decided on keeping them in the stock location mainly so that I can run the exhaust out the back. Still have to finish the mounts but here is the rough idea.

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

Got the shock brackets tacked on and the cab pulled off and started working on the exhaust. Splitting the 4” downpipe to a dual 3”

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

Made some more progress on the exhaust. Need to get a driveshaft to make sure I’ll have enough clearance between it and the exhaust. After calling the local driveshaft place and getting a quote on a 2 piece I’m leaning towards 1 piece. I took out the carrier bearing mount and mocked up what a 3.5” driveshaft would be and it looks like it’ll work with a little clearancing on the crossmember.

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

Awesome build!

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

Thanks! Just checked out yours. Really like the direction you’re going.

Re: 72 Swb starting from the bottom
 

Got the passenger side exhaust tacked up back to the axle. Now to get it under the driveshaft without hanging down low.
