1982 C10 swb "SS"
I have decided to make a build thread. A little background is that the truck is a 1982 Chevy C10 Custom Deluxe. It was orignally my granfathers and when he got a new truck he gave it to my family which then caught my interest in it. I have had the truck for about 5 or 6 years now and haven't worked on it until last year. The truck originally had a 305, which is going to be replaced with an LS2. I am currently in college so progress will probably be slow except for the summers. At the moment the truck is kind of a budget frame off restoration.
Here is what the truck orignally looked like: This past summer I tore the whole front and rear suspension apart and lowered the truck as well as redid bushings etc. Before: After: In the front I have belltech 2" drop springs and 3" drop spindles from DJM.

The next thing I decided to do was wheels and tires....I decided to go with American Eagle Alloy 225 series 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the rear.
This is a real picture that I had someone photoshop rust out of:

Next thing was the drivetrain. I was originally going to just rebuild the 305 or buy a crate 350 just to throw in it, but after spending a year watching all the builds on here I decided to go with fuel injection. I was looking at motors but not too seriously when I found an ls2 on ebay. It was out of a tbss with 45,000 miles on it with the trans, harness and engine for $3200. Well after talking with the guy for a couple months I decided to buy it. The only thing is the engine was out of a awd tbss so I have to get the tailshaft on the transmission swapped out and a few other things. Before I even got the engine I decided on tearing down the truck for winter.

I recently got the frame painted but haven't had the time to get the crossmember painted and put back in so the front suspension can go back together.

Re: 1982 C10 swb "SS"
It's 5.5 on the back and 4.5 on the front. Here are some specs if you need more information. I got them from jdwheels.com because I couldn't find them locally. They seem to have gone up in price since I got them.

1982 C10 swb "SS"
I do need help with a problem I have. One of my rear cab mount brackets has pretty much rusted through. I though I had remembered seeing them for sale in lmc, but it appears that they only have the front ones. Does anyone know where to get one of these or is a junkyard the only thing other than making one?

Re: 1982 C10 swb "SS"
With that fan and instake...I'm guessing that LS2 came out of a TrailBlazer SS? If so....you also got a Super Duty 4L70e transmission hanging off the back. Those exhaust manifolds are also one of the few sets that will fit in LSx upgrades with some of these trucks.
