Craig,
Joined about this time last year when I bought my '66. Drove it home, parked it in the shop and started tearing it down. It's funny how I started off to do just a few things and looked one day and on;y the cab was left on the frame.
Decided a few weeks ago to set aside the big block and go with a built LS3 and that's when I came across your journey.
WOW! Awesome job with the post and pics! What an adventure this post has been. Great read and Congrats, Congrats, Congrats! I'm a new grandpa and loving it.

I just got my frame back from paint and ready to start my build. You mentioned in your post about posting a build sheet or something of the sort. Were you able to do that?

Again, Awesome job!

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
 

Thanks for the kind words 66, and yes being a Grandpa is awesome :metal:

I never did put together a build sheet, one of the many things I thought I would do but never got around to it :lol:

I think most items are in the thread, if you have any detailed question don't hesitate to post them here. I will be glad to help or answer with anything you got.

Good Luck,
Craig

Love the truck! Do you know where I can get one of those gun racks?

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
 

I just went thru every page of this thread this morning and I am blown away by both of your build and your positive responses. Love the truck!

They are link unicorns now :waah:

Thank you sir, this is for sure one of the coolest things I have done and been a part of. I try to keep my mouth shut if I don't have anything good to say, notice I said try...... I fail a lot as well :mm:

Thanks again!

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
 

Old post, but DAMN that is a nice truck!

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
 

Thanks man, it was a fun project!

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
 

Beautiful build, I am just starting the research phase for my grandfathers 63 C-10 that he left to me and my brother 12 years ago.

I have a couple questions.
I really digg that orange color, do you have a paint code?
Do you have any type of parts/suppliers list?
What did you do for a complete harness for the driveline and for the trucks electrics?
