C1500 Full Protouring Chassis Build, Twin Turbo LS Swap

[loudandproud]

I got this truck 10 years ago from my Grandfather when he passed away. I documented me doing a partial restoration on it then.
The truck has been sitting for a couple years, so I decided it was time to dig back in. Go big or go home.

I plan on documenting the build on here as well as my YouTube channel "Loudandproud"
