It was for my 68 Chevelle. But the car was stolen 3 months after I bought it. I had the kit laying around and an extra 8.1 so I figured it make a good pic. LOL

might as well do the conversion kit for the swap into the 1/2 tons. Ive never looked at a BB up close, mounting brackets for motor mounts etc... might be a good idea. not to many RCSB trucks runnin around with BB's

. Dont the 2500HDs have a couple of inches in body lift on the 1/2 tons? Isnt the BB a tall block motor? I wonder if there will be any clearance issues? I know the radiators are 4 inches wider (need more water to cool that sucker)....I am sure there are other things too, i just cant think right now.
