1976 C10 LS Swap failure! it never goes as planned!

We were prepared for an easy LS motor swap on this 1976 Chevy C10. However it did not go as planned. We had broken bolts, poor fitment and a bent frame. the steering was bent up high and it ended up into the pan of the motor. this shot our plans for a quick swap and added a frame machine visit into the mix. I stripped down a 2004 chevy silverado for this donor. this short bed step side truck will be back again though. I think it's important to show failure and all of this is just another learning experience. be careful when you buy!

I'm just trying to keep it classy around here

Shouldve planned better!

[@9252LIFE]

It’d be cool if you knew a guy that knew how to pull frames and had access to a frame machine.. 😅

It might be a tad helpful

[@junkyardjoe1994]
