Wiring is one of those jobs that someone may dread, but it is also one of the big turning points in a project where a car fires to life. It also signals it won't be long before that maiden voyage. Good job Brent!
Old term..." jack of all terms and master of none"... only the more I get watching you the more I come to believe getting it down to be master of most all... that wiring just one...
Great job with the wiring Brent! You have the patience of a saint lol. I'd have that wiring so screwed up, that when I tried to start the truck, the doorbell on the house would ring when I turned the key! Thanks for the education today sir!
Big brother you could be a great teacher....the only problem is a limited time factor here, and no pay..... But we get the drift.. great web site to get more info. Hey no one else gives this stuff out for free. thanks for the class....stay cool..
G'day mate awesome video ,must compliment you on your choice of music on your channel very enjoyable thanks for sharing Brent best of luck mate God bless 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
May not be exciting to some people but it was to me , i watched it twice . I started playing around with old cars and later building hot rods about 1957 . I would do all my work but when it came to wiring i did it although i never liked to . Really hard for me to do . Now I'm pushing 80 so i don't do a lot accept work on , er i mean play with my 35 standard Chevy street rod i started building in 1999 . I live in the States , southern Idaho farming country . Started watching your U-Tube and have not been bored at all . Keep up the good work .
Fenders from a bigger truck are wider , like two ton. Might be easier to swap a set and those would sell. Glad you understand the wires, I am old, carbs are easier.
Confused? Definitely not. I know exactly what to do now..... Throw it all on a trailer and head to Halfass Kustoms shop! Great explanation and can't wait for that 54 to enter the shop!
Thanks for this video, I have a link to it in one of my videos because of the great job you do of explaining the changes needed to get a DBW setup to start and run the easy way! Great work sir!
Filming YT video for documenting a wiring job is difficult to produce compelling content from, but you still somehow manage. Thanks for the update. Cheers!
I've been watching your channel for a while now, but have not commented. I really enjoy your videos. I especially appreciate the fact that you do not use profanity or crude language. Your ability to fabricate nearly anything amazes me. It seems that nothing holds you back from getting the job done. Good for you! I look forward to each new video.
The more videos I watch of yours, the more I realize you have an IQ well over a genius when it comes to automobiles. That is why I watch your show and it is my favorite auto show to watch. Great show.
Thank you for reposting this video. I am in the process of replacing the 327 in a 67 Camaro with a 5.3 LS. Small camshaft and wanted to run it on a test stand. This video will definitely help me with the wires 👍
This made sense even to me, an old school carb and distributor guy. I don't even like electronic ignition! This is the one thing I feared about an LS swap, it's not that bad.
Now I may put a LS in my 76 c10 cause you just made it so simple thank a lot for the info hard part is the vats in the computer have to find a way to do that
*- Good, clear, plain explanation, Brent.* *- Because it is all so completely new for me; The idea of keeping it all in my head seems scary.* *- I guess that going through it a couple of three times would make things better for folks doing this.*
Lovin' this build! I keep getting a mental block on the tranny being a auto. You switched the frames out in the beginning, from manual to auto. . .nice to see you have the wiring down so well. I might have to play this one back a couple of times to figure out what ya did! Love you work, learning a few things along the way!!
That was super helpful and informative,, kinda cool, it still doesn’t take much to fire the engine and go, tons to learn though to see the simpleness and know what to throw away
Nice one bro holmes!! I understood it! It comes down to knowing what systems you actually need & how to look up whatever ur trying to do and reading a cheat sheet like this. I can tell you've got some experience. IT was a fun interesting job!
Thanks for the great content. Brent, you really know how to put a video together.. Always enjoy seeing your buddy Pablo at the end of most vids. I am a Carryall lover, so a panel truck is the next best thing, to me.. Thank you..
Very insightful. I am in the middle (well closer to the end) of putting an LT5 out of a 96 Vette engine, 6spd, front and rear suspension in a 56 Ford pickup.
Another great video thank you for taking the time to explain all those wires and what they do . Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family 💯👍👍🙏🙏✌
howdy. if you look up youtuber (1puglife ), he is scrapping lots of cars and trucks. you might get a bunch of LS motors and trans. he is just scrapping. but he scraps a lot of GM ,s. He is near you in Canada i think. Great work as always . LOVE your vids.
You make it sound so easy doing the wiring harnesses that's not one of my strong points but it was still interesting watch and see how it was done good stuff. 👍👍😀🔌
Normally I don't have much faith in my automobile wiring talents when it comes to this ls stuff, this video showed me that I should be able to accomplish this all , just have to take the computer to get it unlocked thank you. Do you have any '49 Plymouth bumpers laying around ? a pair would look good on this panel. thanks again.
You're quite amazing the stuff you create from somewhere in your thoughts and great knowledge I am a Chevy retired Parts manager for over 40 years, did you ever work for G M dealer? , also tunes right up with rest, God bless my friend !!!
I have a few questions: 1, Do you hook your headlights up through relays or direct through the headlight switch without relays? 2, What do you use for the brake switch to kill the cruise control? I have a Ford with a switch on the front line of my master cylinder. I'm sure it does what you are looking for and maybe that would be easier than trying to rig something up. (2002' F250). Also, the tube you added to the radiator,,, I've had to do a few of these and one was small enough to spread the end with my brake line maker and the other, much bigger, I simply drilled a hole the same size into a piece of 2x4 and inserted it in and used a ball bearing and hammer to open the end up so the hose would not slip off.. Both worked very well...
Just through the switch, for brake switch I use something like this from an 80's gm with cruise control has both connections on it, one for the brake on for the torque/cruise www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=1189195&cc=1036831&jsn=2679
@@HalfassKustoms I did some heavy reading on automotive electrical some years ago and found that the corporations have definitely figured it out with the use of relays.

Another fine video. Thanks for the wiring tutorial. I get it. I'm an IT guy. I like wiring. Thanks Brent. Hi Pablo. 👍😎🕵🏾♂️🍺🎸🎹🎵👽🥂 Like the slide guitar music too.
Very cool video you explained it perfectly I have a 1993 4l60 2 wheel do you know if the plug is the same as the newer one I have a 2001 Yukon with 5.3 as a donor thanks james
I heard a preacher once talking about how the mind doesn’t know the difference between what you’ve seen versus what you’ve done. He was saying that this is particularly troublesome when you have people who watch too much pornography. I thought about that for a long time. So I figure, by the time I watched all of these videos you have on your playlist, I will have “done“ about 15 or 20 cars
As in the car building? I think I like the rough work the most but I don't mind all aspects of the build is the finishing that's the hardest as in final body work, the tedious finish welding stuff like that haha
How this channel doesn't have a million members ill never understand!
don't say some thing like that. Njoy it before people find out about him. because then he is not able to reply to us here :_:
Some things are hard to understand ,I agree with you Thanks
Ditto! However, Brent's sub numbers is increasing, just at a slow and steady pace.
NOBODY LIKES well you know.
Wiring is one of those jobs that someone may dread, but it is also one of the big turning points in a project where a car fires to life. It also signals it won't be long before that maiden voyage. Good job Brent!
Now that you gave them our secret to EZ LS swap wiring everyone is going to be doing it and drive the prices of engines to hundreds of dollars!!
Haha for some reason the l
LS motors in the states are a lot more than up here for what you guys by a motor for we buy whole vehicles for some reason
Old term..." jack of all terms and master of none"... only the more I get watching you the more I come to believe getting it down to be master of most all... that wiring just one...

I love watching your show and I already love that truck
i will forever be indebted to DD Speed Shop for turning me on to this amazing channel :)
Is that "Puddin"?
Really enjoyed the explanation. Seems simple enough. It’s easy to understand why these swaps are so popular. Thanks for sharing
Never dull, sometimes need to watch it twice but never dull. Cheers
Much easier to watch. I personally wouldn't be brave enough to do this. You're amazing.

YOU ARE A LOT SMARTER ABOUT DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE AUTOMOBILE THAN MOST MECHANICS EVEN WISH THEY COULD BE. KEEP AT IT.
Currently building a 61 Rambler. Wiring scares me but this was a big help!
Go at the wiring logically and it really not that hard.
Don't try to wire 3 things at the same time.
May not be exciting to some people but it was to me , i watched it twice . I started playing around with old cars and later building hot rods about 1957 .

they fenders have been hacked up already do no big loss in chopping them up going to have to fix the arch in them anyway.
@@HalfassKustoms @ what year its ur harness?? Mine is 04 tahoe,, and looks different

I know nothing about automotive wiring, but it's entertaining to see you explain it.
Thanks for the breakout of the wiring it makes sense the break out book is the key. Great work I enjoy the show it’s a staple view for me.

WOW, you make wiring look so easy. Even with all labled in those kits still a headache.. Truck is looking good !!!
it's not bad when a feller breaks the harness down into zones haha motor, lights, dash etc.
Can't wait to see it drive gonna be sweet
You lost me after the first pink wire but your knowledge is something. Very cool.
All the digitals is mind boggling to must people including myself. Thanks for the 101 lesson.
That's a wiring nightmare but you make it look so easy.
That’s real good working music gets me hoping . Keep em coming Brent and give puppy a pat for me
This made sense even to me, an old school carb and distributor guy. I don't even like electronic ignition! This is the one thing I feared about an LS swap, it's not that bad.
after the first one there as easy to swap as a carbed engine after.
Wiring made easy with Brent. The Bob Ross of wiring lol
Lol, Brent is about as cool mild mannered as Bob too eh?!
King of the Hill theme!
Well done. Lots of good information. Look forward to seeing the old panel move on her own again. Be safe and stay well.
Now I may put a LS in my 76 c10 cause you just made it so simple thank a lot for the info hard part is the vats in the computer have to find a way to do that
HI GUYS FROM VICTORIA AUSTRALIA
Wow you are just amazing with everything you do! Just so interesting to listen to you and watch you put all that together! See you on the next one!

Getting ready to do a complete rewire on my 64 bel air. Wish me luck lol. It is a little intimidating. Got a 24 circuit kit. Love your channel!
Ah it kinda fun seeing your using a new kit just take yet time and it'll be fine.
I seen you were listening to Queensryche! Great band! ✌🏻🇨🇦🇺🇸

That was super helpful and informative,, kinda cool, it still doesn’t take much to fire the engine and go, tons to learn though to see the simpleness and know what to throw away
You have a way of explaining things that make it so much easier to do. Thanks Brent. My favorite hu tube for sure
keep the great work man putting glass in my 1934 ford 2 door sedan
Nice one bro holmes!! I understood it! It comes down to knowing what systems you actually need & how to look up whatever ur trying to do and reading a cheat sheet like this. I can tell you've got some experience. IT was a fun interesting job!
yeah the thinking ahead is the hard part sometimes, motor wise it's usually always the same though.
Another great teaching/ learning video Brent. Thanks again for sharing your Garage Time and skills with us.
Great info explained well so even a wiring dummy like me can sort of grab the gist of it. Thanks heaps. From Melbourne in Oz
I liked the wiring breakdown--very informative !
wiring that's crazy you have more patience than me
Thanks for the great content.
Brent, you really know how to put a video together..
Always enjoy seeing your buddy Pablo at the end of most vids.

You are awesome mechanic and fabricator.glad I found your channel thanks for the videos
I'll buy a ready harness with directions.
You've sold me!
I'm keeping the transmission
Like u.
Not a 4spd/not a turbo 350/not a turbo 400.
howdy. if you look up youtuber (1puglife ), he is scrapping lots of cars and trucks. you might get a bunch of LS motors and trans. he is just scrapping. but he scraps a lot of GM ,s. He is near you in Canada i think. Great work as always . LOVE your vids.
Haha he's in Canada but he's quite a ways away from me there's plenty of them locally here though :-)
You make wiring simple and fun very very cool Thanks Brent
You make it sound so easy doing the wiring harnesses that's not one of my strong points but it was still interesting watch and see how it was done good stuff. 👍👍😀🔌
Looks fairly easy to do. Having everything on paper would help a lot. I'm going to look into it some more.👍
More progress on this bad boy!! Keep up the good work!!!
SWEET! I just might put a LS in my 66C10 when I get tired of my 400sb.
Normally I don't have much faith in my automobile wiring talents when it comes to this ls stuff, this video showed me that
I should be able to accomplish this all , just have to take the computer to get it unlocked thank you. Do you have any '49 Plymouth bumpers laying around ? a pair would look good on this panel. thanks again.
I actually think I do but I have the original front bumper for the panel just have to Source a rear one
Maybe for the open cab PU project. the panel is looking good , than you
Great video love the truck always good .Glad you posted my friend.
Your videos are truly a gift! love it keep it up!
Thank you for going over that. This will help in the future. Ronnie.

I scratch built a couple wiring harnesses in the past. And no diagrams when when im done.
Will be thinking about a kit next time around.
don't lot of em, us to use speedway all the time but they are getting really expensive.
