I'm putting a 5.3 litter ls motor in it, there are pictures of it in when i brought the motor home, and when i was painting it, then another picture with it in the frame. The frame was powder coated, then i took and cleaned up all of the suspension components. While the chassis was torn down, i cut the front coil springs to lower it about 1-2 inches, and bought 4 inch drop coils for the rear (hoping that this will get the 2-3 inch all around drop that i am going for, but i may have to tweak things to get what i want). After they were all cleaned up, i put the frame and all suspension components together (picture below of my grandfather and i putting the chassis together) to make the ruling chassis. The orange and white paint on the cab and all of the body panels is the original paint, and i will keep all of it, unless i have to cut it out to fix the rust.

Sounds like a neat truck, but, none of the attached pictures are working.
