Ok so it's been 4 years since I've started this project and it way past time to get a build thread going. I'll try to update it to its current state. Here are some features of the truck.
-1971 shortbed c10 -2009 chevy 6.0, 4l60e, Hydro boost, buckets, tilt, tach, posi, wood bed, boyds tank, entropy radiator, Howell engine harness, AAW chassis harness |

There was not much there when I bought the truck but somehow it was begging for a second chance. After a lot of bodywork, sourcing panels, (3) sets of doors (amazing how a door looks good until you power wash it and rust holes pop through) I was able to send her to the blaster.

Was planning on a LS swap from the get go but still hadn't found one so next set was paint the cab.

Found a low mileage 6.0! Cleaned up the alum and shot a quick touch up coat on the block.

Wiring, computer, trans control, DBW gas pedal.
Built a bracket for comp and gas pedal that bolts to original gas pedal mounts and added a 90 degree bracket for stability. Trans control is mounted on firewall tub with 1/4" 20 bolts welded to a fender washer then cut flush to a stud. I cleaned down to fresh metal and glued these with 3M panel adhesive. Used them for mounting the fan and fuel relays as well. |

Curtb1971,
I'd like to pick your brain about your hydroboost. Could I come by sometime and take a look? I need to get my C10 out for a little burn. Doug |

Are the heads rectangle port, or cathedral port?

Re: Bonnie 1971 SWB LSX
Looking great, I like the color combo.

Re: Bonnie 1971 SWB LSX
I got to see this truck in person last night and Curt is really doing it right. Quality parts and quality workmanship. Seeing it in person and then looking back thru the pics in the thread gives you a great perspective on the amount of work that goes into one of these trucks.
