I started really looking this frame over, and found that it is badly bent and damaged, and there is that god aweful bumper welded to the front. The PO took 4" C-channel, slid it inside the frame rail and globbed on these great big nasty welds. I decided to find another frame. K10 frames are is short supply around here, or they've been beaten like a red headed step child.

I pulled this truck apart, and have the frame on blocks. That's more or less where I'm at. Last night I set my 6.2 and 5 speed back in it, and set the cab on it to check clearances. I can just get my fingers around the back of the heads, so I think I'm good. I'm gonna throw the radiator support on there in the morning and I'll get a few more pictures.
