Default My 1985 C10 LS6 build!

So I have been building this truck basically since I got it little bits at a time. I even had it "finished" once but a broken throttle spring and the fence I landed in forced me to start over. This was my first vehicle, I got it when I was 17 for $5K. Since the wreck I have poured most of my money and time into making it a show/race rod. Here's the details:

Fully boxed frame
Front dropmember from porterbuilt
Mustang power rack steering
ridetech tubular control arms upper and lower
RE7 bags front
Shockwaves rear
parallel 4 link
Currie Ford 9in
31 spline axles
detroit locker
4.33 gears
22x10 foose nitrous rear
20x8 " " front
BFG ta KDW tires
Tremec tko600
mcleod shatter proof bellhousing
centerforce dual friction clutch
2002 LS6 motor bored to 3.905
Forged Eagle rods
Forged Diamond pistons
Stock crank
comp cam
1.85 rockers
edelbrock dual plane
holley HP 750
msd 6010

I cut out the floor pan to get rid of the saddlebag humps and made a new one on a press brake. still have to fab up a trans tunnel. I have a set of 2001 Z06 bucket seats that are going in, so I have to make mounts for them too.
I cut the dash off the firewall and got one from a 1959 chevy apache pickup, cut it in half and tacked it up. I need to build a center section still and I think I will have it continue down to a center console as well. I live in Alaska and as far as I know this will be the only truck like it in the state! It has been my baby for a long time so I thought I would share it with you guys.
