Hey guys! I recently picked up a fairly clean '81 C10. It's a 2-owner truck and it's all original and it runs and drives. I drove 700 miles south to get it and I'm in love. I'm new to Squarebodys for the most part. I briefly had an '87 K5 Blazer when I was in my early 20's, I'm 41 now. Anyway, I'm no stranger to fixing up old vehicles and I have a gen II LT1 engine that I'm swapping into it. I know, LT1 blah blah blah, but I'm a well known LT1 guy in the New England area. I also have a built LT1 Trans Am with a healthy shot of laughing gas. Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself, and my project.

Howdy from Ohio!

I must say that I like the fact that you like LT1's. You aren't alone around here.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'll be around reading old threads and asking questions. I already found wiring diagrams for the entire truck so the LT1 swap should be a breeze.
