Progress on the Detroit Chevy Conversion

Wednesday I got the Cab off the 2000 1500 truck and this evening I got the fenders and cab off the 3500hd truck. The 3500hd frame needs to be sandblasted and painted. Also the body mounts are going to have to be modified slightly.
I was thinking about cutting the 3500hd frame and stretching it but instead I am just going to add two more body mounts and shorten the bed to compensate for the length of the extended cab. Also I will lift a 3" body lift to clear the frame upturn at the back of the cab.

Next on the list is pulling the detroit engine and trans out of the C70 so that I can take some measurements and check fitment.
