Default C/10 Whippled

Recently joined, already bought some parts from someone on the forum!

I have been working on a 1969 C/15 GMC that my Uncle gave me 14 years ago, and we've been working on it for that long! The problem it isn't finished is because I keep changing my mind about what I want to do, and I run out of money, but I've quit drinking, regained my sanity and have a mission to be on the street by end of summer 2019! lol

When I say we, I mean my father-n-law Stan and I. We've converted it to a Chevy C/10 because at the time of buying parts years ago, the GMC grilles were ridiculously expensive. Plus, there are more options for 5-lug wheels than 6-lug. Here is the current build:
  • Porterbuilt inner frame stiffener
  • Porterbuilt rear drop member
  • Porterbuilt Stage 2 front drop kit
  • Boyd tank
  • LS3 480hp crate
  • T56 Magnum 6-spd
  • 2.9L Whipple front feed
  • BTR stage 3 cam and spring kit
  • 80# injectors
  • AFCO ZL-1 heat exchanger (purchased on here)
  • Katech timing chain
  • Wegner accessory brackets and dedicated 8-rib blower belt
  • Porterbuilt cowl mounted hood hinges
  • Sloshtubz inners
  • Foose 22s
  • GM rack and pinion
  • Hydroboost
  • AC
  • Painless wiring kit
  • Baer 14" rotors and C5 calipers
  • Accuair air ride system
The body is pretty much all new, except for the hood. I took it to a resto shop about two years ago and they cut out all the rot from the cab and replaced with new steel. I'm about to start installing the cam and blower, and then back to running brake lines, running wiring, hooking up steering, air line install for bags and MUCH more.

Paint? Ugh, who knows. Probably a pearl orange with pearl white lower on the sides.
