Default Has anyone LSx swapped a 3rd gen (73-80) C/K-10?

I'm looking to do this swap once I find a 4wd, manual, and shortbed I like, does anyone have any information on a swap similar to this? I've search and I can't come up with anything. Thanks!

Check out this build thread, it's not a 4x4, but it's a good build thread on an 86 shortbed. https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...n-here-44.html Scroll down to #869.

Here is a bolt in kit for the 4WD trucks that will let you use the OEM mounting points if you want to use The newer style transmissions with the old T-Cases. I will also sell just the mounts and the headers have already been built for the kit. I’ll have some off the car shots and more in the car late today. The kits will need to go out to be mass produced but its 100% bolt in.

Here are some more mock up photos that also show that the truck was level and that the motor sits in this 4WD in level.

Cool, I'll remember that. Like I said though I don't even had a truck yet, I'm in the process of finding one.
