Project ls swap c10

[black90notch]

Really nice work. I've had my 84 with a 5.3 swap going for about 4 months. The swap was worth every penny.

Yeah ive had a blast with this truck. Its fun to drive and is fairly quick for a truck.

I got some more work done this morning. Got the upper arms bolted in for mock up. Then got the lower arms built along with the panhard bar. Hoping the have the lower arms and panhard brackets all installed and maybe the air bag mounts by the end of today.

Getting closer on the rear suspension. Hoping to have it finished up this weekend and the bed back on next week. Ended up buying a new daily driver truck, so now I can really go to town on the c10 and make it nice. Now on to the photos







The panhard bar brackets are not pretty, but they are strong. Space is really limited between the rear end and the gas tank so this is what I came up with. I still need to change the heim joint on the body side and spin it 90* to give a smoother motion, that will come later this is just temporary.
