Sweet project man, I'm building an awd 54 GMC with turbo 5.3. After reading up on all the t-cases I decided to use the old style Bravada/Astro Van/Syclone/Typhoon t-case. They have a viscous coupler rather than being electronic like the newer stuff.

I put the body on a 94 Bravada chassis. 4L80E trans with custom shaft to adapt the t-case to the trans.

I thought about using Astro Van stuff to make my 67 awd since they use the same Sy/Ty style t-case and front diff but have a wider hub width than S10 stuff.

My 54.

Very very cool, keep up the good work and tell your pops he has an audience now eagerly waiting for updates, progress and questions.
Are the diffs stock? It is my understanding that the front diffs on tbss don't like to see much more than 600whp... atleast thats what I remember reading. Its going to be close with 900 at the crank... should be around 675-720 to the tires?

Default Awesome work.

Do you have more pics? Specifically, where the two inches were added to the frame. And, The Tbss floor pan welded to the c10 underbody. I love this idea, and I want to do it also. Thanks.
