I have already finished this project, but thought I would bore people with it as I am new to this site.
A bit of a long story to my pickup. This is the 2nd time I have owned it. I originally built it from 2 trucks, a 1974 LHD C10 shorty, and a 1978 C20 longbed. C20s were available in Australia in RHdrive, so it was easier for me to build one up using the RHD cab and steering, but making a shortbed truck with the LHD bed and chassis. I used the C20 running gear as well. Fitted a 6.2 V8 diesel / turbo700 1st time around.
Sold it in 2002. Last year the bug started again, and I eventually found my old truck, and it ended up being for sale minus engine, and box. Previous owner had fitted 3" drop spindles, and 2" shackles/2" hanger kits, and the Eagle mags that are on it.
Nothing else had changed in the 10 years he owned it.
So, I purchased a local GMH car(wreck) that comes with the GEN111, and 4L60E trans.
And thats how it all started.
I have done all the work myself, except for the PCM setup. I will post up some pics of the build. I am not much of a picture taker, so wont be a movie thats for sure.
