Tomorrow will be the first start and will post more pics.
is this a short bed? i am worried about my drive shaft not fitting but if you have a short bed then i have no worries

Same here slid the engine back until it ,matched the seal mark on the driveshaft
The shift linkage matched up also with the TH350 part placed on the 4L60E C10 short bed

You mentioned that you build the wiring harnesses, do you have a website or link? I’ve got a 68 C10 I’m putting together and want to do an LS swap on soon. Having an ready to go harness would be so much easier I think.
