The Plan for the truck was to keep it looking stock but install the 454 with a m20 4 spd. Using as many GM parts as possible. Pretty much like we would have done back in the 60’s or 70’s. I decided to first get the cab & chassis more or less squared away before starting on the engine /drivetrain First order of business was to strip the cab & remove it & bed from the frame. I had a 2nd generation sandblasting guy that I’d used years ago. He was happy to help me out. First the cab then the frame.
