This is my build thread. I started this project 1 year ago. Here is the specs. It is a 1968 C10 chevy truck that my dad bought when I was 3. It originally had a 250 I6 with a three on the tree. When my dad bought it there was a 350 with a flat cam in it he replaced it with another 250 and automatic trans. I have it now and have done a complete frame off restomod. I will list all the stuff that has been done. I have done everything myself except a couple of machine shop services. Frame painted and undercoated cab and bed also firewall and core painted.

Looks like a work of art.

Is the PMD and cooler directly attached, or is the aluminum checker plate between them? It's hard to tell by the pics.
 
I had to go back to the beginning when you started to talk about an ECM. You must have typo'd the db4. Looking real good, I'll be like tanner tho and check out the pics better from my PC.
 
Thanks for all the good comments. The aluminum box is cut out the exact size of the PMD. The PMD is mounted directly to the heat sink with the transfer sheet between them. The box is behind the glove box door I made it the same size as the glove box just not as deep. I did typo the DB4 should be DS4 sorry. I was going DB2 originally but wanted more tunes so went DS4.

Looking real good. That thing will turn heads. Us Ohio guys are envious of clean un-rusty classic steel.
