Did my 65 SWB about 15 years ago and it is now back n the shop as we type this. I put a stock 292 with Edelbrock intake, quadrajet carb,headers and an HEI distributor with the S10 5 spd. Put all the suspension and disc brakes from a 1972 pickup and bought the 6 bolt rotors to keep the bolt pattern. Wheels are color coded 1978 Blazer steel wheels 15 x 8 with rings and small caps. Power steering and power brakes. One of the nicest upgrades was a 60/40 split seat from a mid 90s Silverado. Outer bolt holes matched up on the floor. Truck has been a lot of fun to drive over the years. Have a few small rust areas to clean up and replace the used motor I put in it. The new 292 has had lump ports, new springs and larger valves and a mild cam. Same carburetion but going with a set of Langdon split manifolds and the T5 will be replaced with a 200R4. Possibly power windows and locks from LMC.
