Since it's going to be a 73 I figured I would update the thread.
I have always liked the 73-79 vs 81-87 so I decided to use a super clean (surface rust only) 73 cab and front end to legally make it a 73. I know it's more work than is needed but I wanted to never have to worry about emissions no matter where I moved.
Here is what the truck looks like after this weekend:
I also have a 4l80e to replace the worn out th350 and a 9" to build for the rear.
I mocked in a 64-66 dash in place of the stock dash. I'm not a huge fan of the stock dash in the squarebody, plus I'll never have to worry about a dash pad again.
I'm getting the cab media blasted and epoxy primed in 2 weeks so that I can undercoat it and spray some Al's heat and Noise reducer in the cab and possibly under it if I have enough. Once the cab is back on I have a new AAW Highway 22 wiring harness to install. I love the modular design of the fuse block as this will allow me to hide the wires out of sight.
I also built a mount for the LS computer, I just need to figure out where I am going to put it.
