Thumbs up Re: Update on my 68 LS project.
Man, that is one of the cooler project trucks I have seen on this site!! I love the wheel comb and stance. Additionally, the shorting of the bed with the wheel look, is spot on.

Please post pictures of how you shorten the bed and the frame, if you have some of these. It looks very hard to me, but maybe you can shed some light on how this is done.

Actually just do a search for my screen name, I posted a ton of pics when I was shortening the bed and how I did it. Thanks for the comments!!

Sweet! Another GenIII Swap! Glad I am not here alone.

What did you use for motor mounts? I am looking at the Brothers set up.

I dont guess I have seen the Brothers mounts. I used the overpriced ECE mounts. They are super nice.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

The rims are Coy's, (grey C5) are the name of them. Good looking wheels but they wont ever be on another one of my rides. On top of taking about 6 months to get, it took another month to get them right. I swear they have got a bunch of retards answering phones and running the place! NEVER AGAIN!!
