[LS1-450]

Chasis & drive shaft will be shortened by 20". Dodge truck cab, bed, etc., need to be reconditioned as well. Don't really like the body work part of the build, but will sweat through while looking forward to the final assembly & engine set-up. Has the original 3 speed manual transmission. The C30 chasis is in amazingly good shape. It was used in a farm truck which is probably why the ball joints, steering box, U-joints, & brakes were all in good shape; rusted, but, good. Only changed the tie rods so the front end alignment could be adjusted. Originals were good, but, rusted to the point where adjusting them was out of the question. Am really looking forward to learning how a carb & distributor engine works. Everything up to now that I've done has had PCM controlled EFI. Will post some pics.
