Lets start with how sweet the frame is looking. I love the sheen that the Summit paint has. I have been using Eastwood products for years, but I think they just got bumped out.

Unless you want potential for resonance transfer in to your cab I would not use Urethane bushings. You might have a bit more body flex with standard rubber bushings, but they will absorb exhaust resonance much better than the rock hard urethane bushings.

I started cleaning the underside of the cab last night, in preparation for paint.

Here are a few detail shots of the frame.

Here's a before & after, took about 8 hours off and on after work. Does anyone know if any OBS cabs came with a heat shield for the drivers side under cab. I plan on running long tube headers with cats right at the collectors. Should be easy to fab one also.

I wish GM started using the zinc coating on it's body panels a long time ago. (I guess it's zinc) anyway nice project.

It’s been a while since I updated. I finished the heat shield for the drivers side under the cab. I put the long block back together. New valve seals, springs, retainers & keeper's, new cam & lifters Comp XE249. New oil pump, oil pump drive shaft w/steel collar, Eddy 3704 intake, Headman Elite HTC long tubes, 46mm TBI, adjustable FPR (Ultimate TBI mods.) etc. Headers were a very tight fit near the frame and UCA mount. I had to tape the areas and pound on them with a 1lb hammer to get enough clearance. There’s nothing like pounding on a set of new $300 dollar headers. I am very impressed with the strength of the coating, no chips, cracks or blems.

That takes a LOT of guts to start wailing on your new headers with a BFH. Looks good from here...
