Man. that snowballed quickly! Can't wait to see it all come together. One of my favorite trucks on the board.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Very sweet deal! And like said above the amount of swap ready production pieces makes the swap a no brainer at this point, especially with that cost

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Yup, steam! That's about all I have at this point, but it's a-comin'
I thought so. Nice and clean inside, too. The truck it came out of looked babied, but a small fender bender apparently totaled it...
Thanks! Hope it continues to get better
You guys have me mostly convinced. Just gotta scratch up some more fundage :waah:

:thumbs: Were not trying to twist your arm we promise :devil:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

I missed the pics of the full coil over suspension. Congrats! Looking forward to watching that installation. :metal:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Well, it worked. A new plan is emerging (see below) :chevy:
Thanks, been a long time coming. This is at least the third dropmember I've owned; I'd like to actually install and drive this one...

Playing around with ideas for this five-three. I think it will end up with a less than modern look to it:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

If I ever change the motor on my truck and keep it naturally aspirated, I would do something like that, makes it look more factory.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

I really like that idea for the 5.3!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

I like where this is going!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Hm, what about a roots-style blower on an LS? Period-correct, at least. Or turbo with an elbow, hmmm...
Thanks, there will be some other tricks to make it look the part. I've been planning this in my head for a while now
Me too; my budget doesn't though!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Where did the throttle body set up come from? I'd love to do that on mine as well. I've been having my eyes on your thread for a while and I'm ready to see the coil over set up

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

It's an OZMO 4150 to 4-bolt adapter paired with an ICT billet 4-bolt to 3-bolt adapter, sitting under an LM7 throttle body and MAF. I'll have to rotate the throttle linkage 90° (keeping the 700r4, so need cable/TV), couple the TB to the MAF, and adapt an air cleaner. This was a quick mockup to see how tall it will be; ends up comparable to my carb/factory spacer :metal: Check out dayj1's "another way to skin the cat" thread in the LS swap forum for ideas/inspiration.

Thanks for the interest--coil overs coming soon-ish...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Thank you for the info

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

what intake are you going to use?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

No worries!
This one: :metal:

It's the Holley 300-137 which will allow me to use stock injectors (with Holley fuel rails). Air cleaner will change in final assembly--just using this old thing for mock-up. Love me some car parts in the living room :lol:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Gringoloco, it's been awhile since I've tuned in on the forum. You never seem to amaze me. I'm still trying to build your 1.0 version and your on 3.0 now. Keep at it so I can continue to learn new ideas from you.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Words you don't hear from momma, EVER....

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Thanks for the kind words--hope I can live up to the hype :lol:
I think she knew what she was getting into, but not to what extent :exit:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Stopped by a little slice of heaven today and brought home a treat for the truck; shame I'll have to cut it up... :exit:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Nice score on the tailgate!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

was that tailgate on KSL? I remember seeing a medium bronze one just like that on there. What are your plans for it if you need to cut it up?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Nice score! :metal:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Thanks dudes! I was pretty stoked to find it. I didn't get this one from ksl, but at the classic yard in Ogden.

I'll be using one of the gates to do something similar to this:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

That is a good looking intake setup. I hear that the flat planes are the way to go for fuel injection because the similar length runners make for a more consistent afr across all cylinders. It is also nice you can use your stock injectors, even though that wont matter when you add boost to it a year after you get the truck up and running again. :lol:... actually, I give it 6 months!.:D... your are probably doing it already.:dohh:...

Guys, keep your eyes open on the ls classified section! There is going to be a sweet holly LS intake up for sale soon! ;)

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

How is it that you're in my brain? :lol: I could keep the intake setup with a turbo... ;)
