Re: 1971 Stepside LS Build
Big milestone for the build. Installed the motor and transmission for the final time yesterday. Very happy with the results. The caddy oil pan sits in a much better position than the truck pan.
Fuel system is the next project, then wiring, then cooling, then....
Also got the hydro boost fitted to the firewall. More work to do there, but doing to wait to pull the cab back off to finish up welds etc.
