Re: 51 Chevy 1/2 ton, My S10 swap

So...Todays progress...I got my steering shaft figured out and installed. It is a tight fit but actually worked out like I hoped it would. I never could have done it with out the S10 V8 swap headers!! I had to remove the brake lines coming down from the master cylinder and reroute them towards the back and along the firewall to avoid the header on that side.

It's a close fit from header to inner fender. I will put a small heat shield in between to keep the paint from cooking!!

Also installed the Lokar shift cable. Nice kit, good directions. Although the nice billet aluminum bracket that goes on the front end of the cable and attatches to the column, would not work on my set up. So I made a simple steel bracket. That's probably the one part that makes the kit cost so much!!

Also finished bolting up the pass side running board, filler and rear fender.

Carb is also getting rebuilt this weekend!
