Re: 69 C10 swb stepside project 45 ACP

Next thing on the to do list is to get the cab lifted up a bit so I can grind off the top rivets from the manual trans crossmember then clean & paint the front frame section and firewall with satin black after it is removed.

I really want to get that big block in there and get the 67/68 front clip installed so I can put this thing in DP90 to protect it before the weather changes around here.

I'm curious if the big tube tri-Y headers from my Camaro will clear the stepside frame and floor boards. The Camaro frame rails are a little further apart than the early trucks so they might not clear. I have a set of 1-3/4" tube headers from when I had a 396 in my 67 C10 so they are the fall back if the bigger headers from the Camaro don't work out.
