Your truck has inspired me to get back to work on mine as well.

Thanks for the motivation

Great info, thanks for sharing. I've got an LS/4L60E install in the planning stage and am just starting to gather all the info I can.

Thanks, I appreciate the motivation. Your build is impressive as well. I am working on redoing my custom center console and putting in the Brothers one piece window kit. I'll post pics when I'm done.

I have the Brothers kit in my truck. When do you plan on ordering it?

I already installed it. What a PITA that was. I will post some pics of the completed install.

BP68 · 09-05-2011, 10:08 PM

Super nice project you have going on. Lots of great info.
I was wondering, can the compressor be removed with the engine installed in the truck?
If it ever needs replacing can you get out with out pulling the motor loose?
Thanks and keep up the great work.

I don't think it will be easy, but it is definitely possible. There is actually quite a bit of room around the compressor, so it can certainly be done.

67C10BUB · 09-06-2011, 10:30 AM

Here are the pics of the nearly completed interior and the new one-piece Brothers power window install.

67C10BUB · 09-06-2011, 10:33 AM

These are some pics that I am including for future reference. The first one is how I mounted the actuator for the power door locks and the other is to show how much needs to be ground off of the drag link to clear the one-piece windows.

stevess11 · 09-13-2011, 01:56 AM

Just went through your entire build thread. Your motor install is very clean and looks like a factory install. Everything is well planned and thought out. Ive been wanting to do an Ls swap myself and you have given so much knowledge in your rightup that I believe I can get it done. Thanks
Steve

Glad to help.

67C10BUB · 10-01-2011, 12:50 PM

This truck is for sale, so I am posting some more recent pics to show the 1 piece windows and current interior. All this could be yours for only $20000.

thor · 10-05-2011, 03:00 PM

Thought this was going to be your daily driver? Really nice truck! Good luck with the sale!

67C10BUB · 10-05-2011, 03:39 PM

It is my daily driver, but it ended up closer to a show truck. I just dont want to ruin it, or have it stolen driving it every day. Besides, I could really use the money.

It is a very nicely put together truck and will make somebody very happy.

I wish I was in a position to be able to buy it.

Good luck with the sale.

Thanks, I wish you could too.

mcbassin · 10-05-2011, 09:44 PM

Sorry to hear you're selling. It is a super nice truck and priced right too. I started mine as a driver too I hope I don't end up getting too carried away. Good luck with the sale.

I live in the "Los Angeles area", so I worry about it being vandalized or stolen. I have literally been sitting in a restaurant and seen guys looking in my windows, crawling under, and looking to pop the hood. I love having such a cool truck, but it gets major attention for it to be a daily driver.

nibs · 10-06-2011, 05:48 AM

NOOOOOO! One of the cleanest trucks here, and its a neighbor of all things.... Wish I could have been able to see it in person. Hope it goes into the right hands

heeroyue2002 · 10-06-2011, 01:29 PM

full coverage insurance takes care of all of that

67C10BUB · 10-12-2011, 07:43 PM
