That be fun. I have dealt with plenty of rust in mine. Floors are common to be bad. If the rust goes past the cab mounts on the supports it takes alot more time to fix. If it has upper windshield rust I usually pass on them.
Nice truck, I love your cheap patina paint job and I’m going to try it myself on my 72. Did you finish the paint yet? I’d like to see a video of the finished product.
I never finished sanding it down. I took to a car show and a guy bought the truck off me. I have another 72 c10 I been working ill start posting progress of that here soon
Yes I can. It's pretty easy. Just runs a 99-02 throttle cable, take a step bit to the factory square throttle hole on firewall, drill it just a tad bigger than the square, then in the cab just cut a slit in the top of the pedal and slide the cable in. And your Done
That’s a sweet pickup, I have watched this video a few times just to try and soak it all in, thanks for the detailed explanation , I would like to know more about the hydro boost break system you got going on and the radiator adapter
Radiator adapter is ict billet 1 1/2 to 1 1/4. Hydroboost is stock one out of 01 2500. Flip the mount plate drilled new holes, the brake rod i cut off and welded on a adjustable brake rod end. Hoses are factory 01 hoses with cpp adapter to power steering box. I used stock 72 return hose from steering box to pump. Hydroboost is the way to go for brakes stops on a dime
@@Joe_Jackstands amazing, your walk around helped a lot, I’m planning to start my build next week will let you know how it goes, planning on doing a 6.2 with a 6l80
For hydro boost i used factory 01 line on pressure side with a cpp adapter fitting. Fitting was a flare to oring adapter. The return is low pressure so I used the 72 fitting to rubber hose for return. The brake lines off the master cyclinder,I used pre-made lines from advance auto parts to the adjustable proportioning valve. The adjustable valve came with adapters i used to adapt my factory lines.
If you don't use 73 to 87 mounts, the ac compressor won't fit in the engine's original location? What do the 73 to 87 mounts do? Raise the engine, move it forward? Both? Compared to the 67 to 72?
In my option ..The 73-87 are just a better design. They have more bushing in the mounts easier to get the bolts in/out and just all around easier to work with. I used the tejas mounts for 73-87 so it places motor in factory location just a little higher to clear Ls oil pan and ac compressor. You can run the 67-72 mounts with adapter plates but motor will set lower and oil pan will be about 2 inches below crossmember. The tejas mounts werent to much more and kept me from buying a 200 oil pan and opened up a oem location on the motor so I wouldn't have to buy a aftermarket ac bracket to work.
I havent done it but from the reading I have done, yes you can. Just cut the pig tails off with the cluster and run the wires from the back of the cluster straight to the ecu. The oil guage don't run thru the ecu so have to run that straight to sensor. Gas guage have to run straigh to fuel tank.
What power steering pump are you using? I have a 6.0 and doing a power steering conversion on my 68, but my engine didnt come with front accecories, which power steering pump could I use the express van ones show they dont come with resovouir
Mine is a stock hydro boost pump off a 2001 2500hd. If your not running hydro boost then a truck one will work just fine. A van should be the same as a truck
Good job my friend.. i’m thinking to do the swap on my truck.. What transmission are you running on it.. can you please let me know thank you for your time. Also How difficult is the wiring?
I'm running the 4l80e out of a 2001 2500hd. Wiring isn't that bad. I have made a bunch of harness now and just have to follow the write up on lt1swap.com to make a standalone. The rest the guages are just manual guages so just tap a spot into your motor run the lines for the guages. I used sun pro guages. I have no speedo but I use my phone for that.
Good morning friend. I forgot to ask you are you running wire throttlebody or cable.. Which one will you recommend for my swap Thanks again have a great day
@@Joe_Jackstands Thanks for the reply man....I am going to do this swap pretty soon on my 71....one more question....no aftermarket brackets or anything either?
I bought a sheet of 18g sheet metal. I got some construction paper sheet at walmert. but it against the cab got my lines, cut it out with scissors and then transfer it to the 18g sheet metal. took some sheet metal screws held it in place and took a cut off wheel followed my pattern and tac welded it all in as i went.
@@danielviorato1333 I been using a kemso 340 off ebay on my swaps. there $30 and i have had good luck with them. You can get a ac delco ep381 or a walbro 255 if you want something a little more name brand
That’s a clean looking swap. Good job.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 my set up very similar
I'm impressed with your work
Thanks for the great info I wanted to look for a fuel tank that would fit under the bed for my 67c10 that I'm doing a 5.3 swap
Great job and good info!
Great job on your truck love it! I have a 72 C-10 I put a 5.7 in it out of a 02 Camaro. Also put that same wheels on mine that you have on yours.
The patina on this truck is so good
Thanks. Just rattle can blue and sanded it down with 600 grit
Nice and thanks for the parts list/info on the build
No problem glad I could help
Nice job Joe! One of my favorite trucks. Looks a lot like mine.
Nice truck bro
Beautiful Truck 👌👍
Nice!! MAGA 2024!!!
Thanks the truck looks clean
Thanks
@@Joe_Jackstands no tanks
Great work man! Trying to do something like this.
Thanks
Sweet as pie.👍👍👍
I found a nice original paint 69 c10 and they put in a 5.7 LS6 motor from a 03 Corvette. It has a lil rust, but might pick it up.

Nice truck... Can you make a detail video on how to set up the drive by cable to the gas pedal.
Yes I can. It's pretty easy. Just runs a 99-02 throttle cable, take a step bit to the factory square throttle hole on firewall, drill it just a tad bigger than the square, then in the cab just cut a slit in the top of the pedal and slide the cable in. And your Done

Beautiful. Love the stance and wheels. What is the drop, what kind of wheels and tire size? Thank you
3/5 drop springs and ridler 695 20x8 front and 20x10 rear. I forgot the tire sizes
Simple clean beautiful! did you use the stock oil pan from the 6.0?
Yes stock truck pan

@burgerbuilds I try to keep my videos quick and direct. Easy to follow so everyone can learn how easy it is to swap these trucks
@@burgerbuilds How does the 6 Speed fit the trans tunnel?
Great build and my favorite chev color. How do you get into manual 1st with column shifter and 4l80?? I assume the original trans was 3 spd?
I used the cpp linkage. It goes into first but can hear it hitting the header. I hardly ever use first thought. Just drive and cruise
@@Joe_Jackstands thanks!
Hi buddy thanks for the video quick question how you did you use the Tejas engine and transmission mount?? What else you use??
You have to use the 73-87 frame towers. And then the tejas mounts and crossmember
@@Joe_Jackstands thank you for the info
Great project. where did you buy the fittings for the gear box to stock hydroboost pressure hose? and the brake line adapters?
For hydro boost i used factory 01 line on pressure side with a cpp adapter fitting. Fitting was a flare to oring adapter. The return is low pressure so I used the 72 fitting to rubber hose for return. The brake lines off the master cyclinder,I used pre-made lines from advance auto parts to the adjustable proportioning valve. The adjustable valve came with adapters i used to adapt my factory lines.

Hi there I have a question what is that radiator hose adapter called the brand ?
It was ict billet 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 adapter barbed splice adapter
I have a gauge cluster from an 05 or so. Can I make them work off the 02 computer
I havent done it but from the reading I have done, yes you can. Just cut the pig tails off with the cluster and run the wires from the back of the cluster straight to the ecu. The oil guage don't run thru the ecu so have to run that straight to sensor. Gas guage have to run straigh to fuel tank.

Good morning friend. I forgot to ask you are you running wire throttlebody or cable.. Which one will you recommend for my swap Thanks again have a great day
@@danielviorato1333 I ran a cable off a 99-02 then cut a slit in the top of the oem pedal to cable thru it
What did you mean by $30 motors mounts? I have a 72 and we have just started on the swap. I want to do the mounts as cheap as possible
The $30 mounts are just the adapter plates to your stock mounts and brackets. On this one I did the tejas mounts and 73-87 frame towers
Cheap amazon adapters are 26$
Where did you get the head of ice and how much did they cost I am doing a 72 C10 Ls
Im not understanding the question
Did you have to use an aftermarket pan? Thanks
Yes stock truck pan
@@Joe_Jackstands Thanks for the reply man....I am going to do this swap pretty soon on my 71....one more question....no aftermarket brackets or anything either?
@@shannonlane5647 i used pretty much all stock stuff. I used 73-87 frame towers off a 2wd c10 and tejas mounts. Pretty easy swap really
How did you cover the holes in the delete heater box?
I bought a sheet of 18g sheet metal. I got some construction paper sheet at walmert. but it against the cab got my lines, cut it out with scissors and then transfer it to the 18g sheet metal. took some sheet metal screws held it in place and took a cut off wheel followed my pattern and tac welded it all in as i went.
@@Joe_Jackstands thank you!
What did you use for the transmission cooler?
Hayden 679
Are those long tube headers?
Yes long tube speed engineering
the steam port .. is connected to the throttle body too? Because I’m a little confused on my at the moment
Steam port can go to the throttle or it can straight to the top the head. Factory it goes off head to throttle body to radiator.
Thank you for your reply have a great day
Hello my friend.
Can you tell me the type of your fuel pump that You used on your swap? Please
@@danielviorato1333 I been using a kemso 340 off ebay on my swaps. there $30 and i have had good luck with them. You can get a ac delco ep381 or a walbro 255 if you want something a little more name brand
Thank you again ... you are the man
Did you use factory transmission crossmember?
No i used the Highrise Tejas 73-87 crossmember. It can clear exhaust alot easier
Joe Jackson @@ do u have room to fitt the stock a/c compressor????
@@gerardolopez5875 the stock ls should fit in the frame from all my research. I havent tried yet but there is plenty of room right there.
