Re: 1982 C10 swb "SS"

Didn't get much of anything more done. Realizing how much time metal work takes. I have been filling the holes in the firewall, trying to get rid of the seam, as well as working on the rockers and cab corners on each side. I put the fenders on for more fitment and trying to figure out where everything is going under the hood. I'll post more pictures later.

Re: 1982 C10 swb "SS"

Quick update. I just got a LH battery tray, along with an 83-87 lower grille panel so I can run an '85 grille, and the smaller mirrors. I also just ordered some pieces for an intake. Should work on the truck a lot some more this week so hopefully will make some progress.

Re: 1982 C10 swb "SS"

Just fyi, if you are ordering a new driveshaft, maybe consider a stronger rear diff yoke connector to the driveshaft if you are rebulding that anyway at the same time.

Your motor will blow apart the smaller diff yoke I think with all that LS POWER!!

Re: 1982 C10 swb "SS"

Thanks for the heads up, I was planning on doing a 1350, and just letting whoever I get to make my driveshaft supply it, are you running a 1350?

Re: 1982 C10 swb "SS"

Okay thanks, well I got the battery tray switched to the drivers side, required drilling two holes but went better than I expected. My intake pieces should be on their way so I'll start to get that worked out. I should get a picture or two up tonight.

Forgot to take a picture of the battery tray on the driver's side, but here are two of the start of my CAI. I didn't want to spend $300 on an intake that I could piece together for less than half.

Well I got a chance to work on the CAI yesterday. I pretty much have everything laid out the way I want it. The MAF should go in between the filter and elbow. Just need to find an upper radiator hose or make one...it's a tight fit. Where should I put a support rod? I could do almost anything, come off the core support, frame, or even head. What do you guys think?

Re: 1982 C10 swb "SS"

How are you making out Jordan? I test fit my 6.0 in the blazer last weekend. Now I'm going to take it back out and do the same paint on the engine as you did. Gives us some updates.

Re: 1982 C10 swb "SS"

Thanks for all the compliments, It's been a while since I've done a lot of progress on the truck, but still working on the cab. Progress is very slow with my last semester of school winding down, but should be picking up soon. Here are some of the pictures of the cab from working over winter.

Re: 1982 C10 swb "SS"

Well I'm still around, just don't have any updates. The truck is back in PA, and I'm stationed in AK, so it might be a while before I get the chance to work on the truck again.

Re: 1982 C10 swb "SS"

Well I'll still be up in Alaska for another 2 years so I wont get a chance to finish the truck until I get back home. I did end up buying a 1972 Chevy Blazer up here though so that is my new project. The plans for it are a 6" lift running 35x13.5r15 tires with drive line being a 2010 6.0/2011 6L80e and the original np205. Hopefully I'll get that running before the end of the summer and may make a build thread for it. Name:  20150824_170233.jpg
