Default 1970 C10 truck with complete c5 drivetrain and suspension with air ride

Hi everyone! I have been lurking around here for a while as a guest admiring some of your absolutely beautiful projects and rides. I finally decided to register and share my project with all of you guys. I am new to this kind of build so i am learning as i go. I orginally built a custom tube frame for my truck that utilizes the solid rear end and a LS1 motor but when i went looking for the motor i found an increadible deal on the entire c5 drivetrain so i decided to go that route. So i built a new frame to accomodate all the c5 drivetrain and suspension. I had to extend the torque tube to accomodate the longer wheel base. There are a bunch of other things i did but will let the pictures do some of the talking. I am hoping to have it driveable by this summer so i can make sure i don't have any bugs and everything performs well then it will be torn back down for paint and powdercoating. Enjoy
