Beautiful truck.

True that. Focus on what you want at the end, not the original builders dream, you may not do his dream justice.

Dreams always change. Make it yours and place an "in memory of" sticker on the back glass.

Good looking truck.

Do you have any idea why there are bypass hoses in the intake?

Hey Jamie, nice truck,good project for sure! BBC,can't go wrong!67 thru 72 very popular.

Hell yeah! Favorite body style hands down! Love the shit out of my '72 c-20... 498 bigblock and 4l80... Factory almost a/c... Looks like yours is more the cruiser than hauler... Wish mine was a trailing arm like yours, they drive so much better, even a 3/4 ton. Cool thing is parts are crazy available... So pretty much anything you're gonna need to finish it, you can find.

Oh... And hard to tell from the pic... But frame motor mounts for small block and big block are different... If the top of where it comes off the frame is flat, you may have header clearance issues... The big block mounts "dip" right off the top of the frame rail. Ask me how I fiund this out on a Friday at 11 at night... 😜

I bought the 28 circuit Painless kit for my 1972 Blazer, looks slick. Just not at that point in the project yet. I feel the kit was worth the $450 price tag. My factory harness was butchered pretty bad.

Nice! Im about to rip apart my '68 for a full resto soon...

this also has the painless kit but the truck has aftermarket power windows door locks a vintage a/c system and it's missing all the light plugs/sockets long story short I'll have my hands full learning
