Ok guys alot has already been done to the truck but I figured i'd put a build thread together and post as I finish it up. If you dont feel like reading there will be a video posted soon.
Here's the background on the truck. My dad bought it new as a left over in 90, Chevy Cheyenne C1500 with a 305 tbi and a 5 speed, manual windows and locks and bench seat, not your real eye grabber truck. He drove it till I was 16 and then gave it to me with 370,000 miles on with the original motor and tranny and only on its second clutch. I drove it till I was 18 when my dad got a call from a friend who knew we wanted to do a motor swap and kinda redo the truck. It was from that friends friend we bought the LT1 350 which has the aluminum 113 heads, comp cam, comp cam 1.6 rockers, weiand 142 series blower and a holley 750 dp carb. Unforantly dont know much more on the specifics but he told us the motor was built to run the blower... thinking back we should ask more about it but I was so excited I didnt think about it
So now I had to find another truck to DD since we knew this was gonna be a long on going project and thats when I picked up my K1500....Anyways we got the engine home put it on the engine stand and looked over some things, contacted weiand and ordered a gasket kit for the blower. Drained oil, diassembled blower and inspected it and all looked ok then installed new gasket kit and new oil. After that we pulled the 305 out and sold it, dropped in the 350 and set the blower in place. we used the stock style serpentine belt bracket off that style truck with a little modifcation to the tensioner pulley to route the belt under blower nose that way we could use stock style components like water pump, power steering pump, alternator and most important to my dad the A/C compressor. Once that was done and clearance wasnt issure we installed all the components and set blower in place and bolted down. With everything plumbed and electrical hooked up and timing set we had exhaust hooked up and got it running, ran ok but we knew it had bugs that needed worked out. Left it like that for a month or two till we found the 454ss donor truck, which we got 4/6 belltech drop kit from, DJM upper and lower control arms, bucket seats and 14 bolt 5 lug rear end. 
Cleaned up and painted the suspension parts and axle and then installed drop kit on front of truck along with new belltech street performance shocks. Installed SSBC disc brake conversion and then installed axle and rear flip kit on truck with drop shackles, along with belltech street performance on rear. Needless to say the 255/70/15 cooper h/t were a tight fit, luckily the new 17" torque thrust two's and BFG KDW came in for better clearance and looks! Front rim 17x7 and tire 225/45/17, rear rim 17x9.5 and 275/40/17 tire. Next packages to arrive were the steel 2" cowl hood and steel roll pan. We installed the hood that day and then the following saturday pulled the bed again and installed the belltech c notch kit and also notched the bed support over the axle then reinstalled bed and installed roll pan. After that we patched the holes on the bed rails and I got a quick lesson in welding. I also got a new holley 750 dp blower carb since the one that I had was not for the blower application and installed new pressure regulator and gauge. Then i started tearing down the paint so it would help my buddy who owns a body shop out and will be painting the truck. It is now at his shop and he is working on it slowly in his spare time, I recently installed 2" rear shock extenders and new poly body bushings since it has been up there as well.
Video is a mix of pics and running clips from different camera's and phone's so please excuse for quality.
