Re: 1984 c10 barn find

Hey, I haven't posted on here for awhile, but stay tuned for a drivetrain swap. I plan on doing the actual swap next winter/spring, and I'll be gathering up parts and ideas as it gets closer to that time. First, an update. I haven't done much other than drive it since my last post. I found a stock radio with a cassette player and put that in, fixed a rotten rubber gas line, and I still have a leaking axle seal (I'm planning on swapping rear ends so I never bothered fixing it yet).

For the drivetrain swap I found a 2002 2500hd 2wd cclb, with a 6.0l and nv4500 5 speed. I'll be swapping that in during next winter spring, but I'd like some advice from people that have done similar swaps on the best places to get parts and what stock parts I can reuse (the computer for example, can the stock one just be flashed and reused?). I'll need mounts, wiring, headers, driveshaft, etc. Any and all advice would be appreciated. Here's a few pics of what will be the donor truck. Its currently my daily driver, that's why I'm waiting until next winter to start the swap. It used to be a DOT truck, and the interior is VERY dirty, but it works great and has lots of power, and it loves 3rd gear lol. It should work great in my c10!
