C10 pro touring project, American Dream

[Junkie]

Well my fiancé has wanted one of these things since she was a kid. We spent around 6 months shopping and finally found a great truck to start on. Its a 1970 SWB truck with little to no rust.

Plans as of now are.

-Roadster Shop drop member front suspension, roughly 6-8" of drop. Penske coil overs, splined sway bar, Wilwood brakes, etc…
-Roadster Shop 4 link rear suspension, 9" rear end, Penske coil overs, Wilwoods
-Fesler Hydroboost brake setup
-Forgeline wheels
-LSX 376, MAST black label LS3 heads, Precision Metalcraft intake and valve covers, Precision turbo billet 88mm, Stainless works LSXT turbo headers
-Ricks Stainless tank, twin 400lph fuel pumps
-built 4L80 from North Texas converter

This thing should be a reliable street truck that makes 700-800whp on 93 and 1000+ on race gas, reliably.

Here is the day we bought it.


Progress so far.













Here is a rendering of roughly what it will look like when done. Goal is to be street racing this thing at Texas 2K in March


Boxing in the frame rails, all moving suspension components are at coating now. You guys are going to **** when you see this thing assembled as a roller!
