Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

ugh, need to get pics up. I got the gas tank painted up all black and purdy like. Also finished the sending unit/pump assembly. A kind of exciting detail, i got the gauges in after much cutting and grinding on the old parts. I will explain with pics. So basically, gauges in, gas tank painted/ready for install, sending unit finished. I also worked on grinding off the remnants of the old seat frame and am about half done with that.

also, you cant put trans fluid in a tranny w/o a yoke in correct? or it will all drain out the back? If so what would you guys suggest for that, i think if i lower it in the rear more it will throw off the driveshaft length but i want to start it before i get the bed on(bed has to be on to know how much to lower it). Any help?

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

Some fluid will drain out, if you leave it open. I would just put the yoke in and leave it in park you can run the engine that way.They also make plastic plugs for blocking off the hole. Your right, get it completely together sitting on the ground at ride height, before measuring for the driveshaft.

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

whatever happened to this thread?? is the truck finished? anyone know? I'm very curious to see it all finished!

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

All finished would be nice. The truck is still in progress. I'm getting the finals details ironed out as far as getting it running. Looks like the brake lines i wanted to order are on backorder. I need to buy some hose clamps and the fuel system is done. I have to buy about 2 feet of ground wire and wire up the battery to starter and ground. Then i will have to figure out the radiator holes, i should take pics and post them up; then radiator hoses and get another fitting for the trans cooler and it should be good to run. Anyone know how big of a trans cooler i should have for a 700R4 paired to a TBI chevy 350?

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

Glad to hear it's getting closer. I'm looking forward to seeing some more pics.

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

hey what kind of wiring harness are you using i know you had tbi i just got a fuel injected block and now am thinking of using fuel injection is it s10 or what

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

been away for a short time but your truck is really taking shape.have a safe holiday

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

You have done a lot of great work on this truck. I cannot wait to see it finished.

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

hey any updates on your build? i'm gonna follow it until we get a video of that first burn out.

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

Im ordering a fuse block tonight to wire the fan to then come brake lines, a driveshaft and she should be running and driving!!

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

cool! we might be watching that "burnout" video soon.

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

the seats are out of a chevy equinox and has mentioned a few times they are heated and driver side is powered.

what i want to know is where he ordered the gauges from

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

has there been any more progress on this build? have I missed something?

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

lrall nice build thread. What kind of gauges did you use? I can't see any mfg marks on them in the pic. Also what brand wiring harness did you purchase for the cab?

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

Classic Instruments is the brand for the gauges, they seem to be nice quality!! The wiring harness for the cab is 'kwik wire'. My autoshop teacher was a dealer and it is really an awesome kit.

If anyone has any experience with wiring up a Lokar floor shifter into a truck I could use some tips. I am a bit tripped up with that currently. I have the big stuff done but little things like power to the coil and such are holding me back. Its tough because I want it to be so clean and stock looking but I have to add a wire here and there.

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

what are you needing to wire up the neutral safety switch and the lights in shifter for nighttime driving?

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

Doin a damn good job on this truck man!:metal:

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

Back from the dead.....I won't post up pics or vids till its running! I have the truck wired up to run but can't seem to get it to crank. A friend of my grandpas(hotrod wiring guy) is coming to help me clear things up and it *should* be ready to go soon! Then its seats, driveshaft, and brakes!

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 

You are inspiring me to work on my truck some more ! Hope to see you on the road soon. Wave back at the guy in the junky black 72 !
