Default 1971 C10. 2002 C1500 running gear. 6.0, T76, 4L80

Just getting good and started. Pics below of what I started with, and where I am now. The body is basically just resting on the running gear right now, it is not attached in any way. The cab is close to where it will be, the bed is nowhere close. Here's the plan of what it will be:

2002 2wd Silverado running gear. I am using the following components from the 2002

-Steering column
-Brake booster and MC
-Brakes at all 4 corners
-Possibly ABS brakes
-All suspension
-Rear axle
-Frame
-Fuel tank, fuel lines, all that stuff.
-Engine, and body wiring harnesses.

The only parts from the 1971 I am using will be the body parts including cab, doors, fenders, bed, hood, grille, etc.... I will leave the body murdered out flat black and ruff as ****.

As far as performance modifications I plan to have this basic setup, which I have about 1/2 of right now.

-Everything electronically controlled, using the stock PCM and HPtuners

-2001 6.0 LQ4-Stock bottom end with new bearings, rings, ARP rod bolts and head bolts, LS6 cam, Patriot dual springs, Stock heads, truck intake and accessories

-T76 Turbo, 44mm wastgate, 50mm BOV, Methanol injection, Front mount intercooler.

-1994 4L80E trans. Built with red alto/raybestos blue clutches, Trans-go HD-2 shift kit, unknown stall converter.

-Stock Truck 10bolt with full spool and 4.10 gear (gear ratio in the rear now, figure I'll start there)

-18" Nissan Titan wheels, 285/50/18 Nitto tires.

-Roll Cage

-Kirkey race seats.

I plan to have about 600rwhp.

That's gonna be an awesome sleeper Ben. You should try and get a 3.42 gear for the rearend. I have a tq converter that would work perfect for you. It is the one I am currently using in my truck.
