Real nice build man, keep up the good work!

 

saw this truck in the c-10 forum its coming out bad. a.ss. bro props

 

LOVE the satin black on the classic body style! looks real good man keep up the good work!

 

got more wiring done today and finaly decide where to put coil packs just have to make custom brackets and plug wires

 

it been a while had lots going on and no time to do stuff to truck but did finally get the cab on, front fenders and hood mocked up to get idea of what its going to look like. this is sitting at ride height

droped

 

got some exhaust work done last couple days cut and welded stock manifolds they are cast but didn't heat or anything and welded good with no cracks now i just need to get some bends to finish it up then take the time to smooth everything out before i have them coated

 

Sick build! My first truck was a clean 69 rclb...Curious why you diddn't get the matching flanges for the exhaust mani's? I have some cast iron welding rod that requires pre-heating that I use sometimes...As otheres have said I admire your work ethic

 

i didn't like the angle that the manifolds exited as you can see the pass side is almost straight out instead of pointed up so this way all i need is one 90 degree and two 45s to get pass side to turbo flange. also as for welding the manifold all i used was 3/32 7018 rod with no heating or slow cooling just welded and it didnt crack these where just a test and if it didnt work i had another set i was going to get flanges for them

 

finally got turbo mocked up in place hope to do more soon

 

few more pics from this morning. got intercooler in just need to finish top mounts. had to see how it would look behind the grill that will eventually be black
