Of course I have original springs with an old add a leaf in them. Still, I'm talking 2" of clearance! May modify the bolt in center section of the x-member for another inch of clearance. Your truck looks great! Keep it up

Re: The never ending K5 Build LS Swap
I have to say you're making me feel bad with my "mild" restoration.
Looking at yours, you have restored it just as I restore my old Corvettes! I've been trying to curtail the level I'm restoring to, yet project creep keeps taking ahold. Especially when I see a project like yours (as well as a few others on here). Thanks for keeping up on the pictures, Pat |

A '62, and a '63.
The '63 is just nearing completion. Then I got sidetracked a little with the Jimmy! Pat |

Re: The never ending K5 Build LS Swap
The K5 went off to the body shop about 3 weeks ago and I'm hoping to bring her back home this week so I can get working on it.
Here's what the firewall looked like before. I had the shop use this 5 piece kit from Vannatta Fabrication

I had a set of custom springs made by Atlas Suspension. They were made for stock ride height. I moved my Tcase back when I installed the 4l80e and left the engine in stock location. I suppose moving the engine fwd would put it closer to the pumpkin.
