Re: 1978 Chevy K20 longbed with nearly 500,000 miles! LS Swap begins!

I added a pair of vacuum caps to keep the studs from corroding at the junction block.



Next step, installed the radio!



Support bracket that always seems to be missing



Gauge cluster going in!



Now that the internal dash and engine harness were in, I started testing the electrical side of things!



I had trouble with the drivers rear taillight and license plate lights not working. I tried several bulbs, the brake and turn function worked fine. I dove into the harness and couldn’t get continuity through to the bulb sockets. Turns out, the LH taillight wire never got spliced in!



All the lights work!







I got sidetracked and installed a new master cylinder



Finally, the new dash pad from the parts truck. Not perfect, but a better match than blue!



Dash pad and gauge bezel installed!
