Painted the doors today.

 

It looks good bro.

What did you do on the tranny crossmember for the 80e?

 

As luck would have it, the stock crossmember worked perfectly using a stock tranny mount. The truck first had a v6 and 5spd manual... The trans mount was just below the output shaft of the tranny. The 80e used the same mount in the same location (just below the output shaft). So using the stock crossmember worked out and puts the tranny at the correct height. The frame had a series of holes for different tranny options and one set of holes lined right up. I guess I lucked out. The rubber tranny mount I used was for 2006 3/4 ton van. My 80e is also from a 06 van.

 

Doors are hung on the truck. It seems whenever I paint a vehicle, I forget how much time it takes, start to finish... Not sure if I will finish in time for spring.

 

Nice truck, it will be really good once it's finished.

Any plan for wheels?

 

No plans for wheels right now. I so badly want that stock, chill look and big wheels will give me unwanted attention. I just want the element of supprise when the truck moves way faster than expected!

 

I assembled the doors this weekend... New latches and handles and I put the glass in.

 

dam good build..sure is looking good....i would like to do something like that to my 90 silverado..but more of a pro runner look...

 

Any updates?

 

Nice Build...I like everything you are doing..Especially the sleeper look.
