Little known fact Normy.....true mechanics are a dying breed. Todays technicians are just parts changers and programmers....Love what you're doing Jason. Keep up the good work!!.. From an old mechanic.
That's a good looking '70. I like how it had turned out. This is what my plans are for my '68. The rear bed panels look clean. I love the Dakota Digitals dash, that's the way that I'd like to go. The truck sounds much like my 2010 GMC Sierra 1500. I have a '68 C10 2wd long bed with the factory 327, TH400, and GM 12 bolt with rear HD leaf springs. Yes, this is a factory truck. This truck had outlasted two marriages, so it isn't going anywhere. I have a running drivable 2001 Suburban that I had purchased for a grand to use as my donor vehicle. My plans are to shorten the '68 wheelbase, swap in the Suburban LM7 5.3 with 4L60E, converting the 4wd trans to a 2wd. I have on the stand a LQ4 6.0 that I'd like to drop in instead, but it needs a rebuild. I'm also going to upgrade the brakes to all wheel disc, and add power steering and A/C. I may also do a 4-6 drop, but I haven't decided yet. Some say to not chop up the long wheelbase, but to each their own. I love all 67-72, but my favorite is the 67-68 because of the V grill and sloped hood. Thanks for a great video!
Hell yeah. I have a 70 cst with leaf springs, and factory 402/th400. It has the 12 bolt with 4:11 gears. You don’t see many c10 with leaf springs out back. Mine was built for towing. It’s quick stoplight to stoplight, but sucks on the freeway. I’m thinking of ls swapping it and putting overdrive. It’s a shorted, but stepside. I want to SWB it. You know LMC has a kit to convert later years to 67-68 sloped hood.
Did you cut the frame to do the conversion? Is their a kit for this? Do you have to find a Short bed or use the panel kit? Did you use a 6L80e transmission? Thanks, for your time
I have a 1976 short wheelbase GMC with a LS swap but I want to get the paint and body work done and interior what would that cost me the body is street just needs paint
lf you got LOTS OF MONEY and want to make an old truck NEW call these guys if not go buy a new used truck with all that new tech already in it for less .l still dont think new trucks are as tuff ,remember these ones are already 40-50yrs old .ALSO l dont care for 20" wheels l like more fat on the rubber side :)
this have to be one of longest video on this channel . one of reason i don't subscribe to this channel cuz most videos or 5 minutes long or less and what is the point . this channel could be really great if they had longer videos like 15-20 min. long. they probably have 200k+ subscribers if videos was longer just saying
Very cool build. I like how clean it was with no obnoxious parts. I wish i could drop my truck off and have you do the same build

Wow really nice truck this is great inspiration for me makes me want to complete my 67 c10 ls swap great video
Wow!!!!! This build was so tasteful. This build is inspirational, definitely want to go this route with my truck!!!!
My dad and I have just started the build of my 69 C10, already bought a 6.0 LS2. Wish me luck!
Good luck.
Finally, one of these builds that isn't slammed or jacked up
My 69 SWB has been sitting in my garage for 25 years. Guess how old my oldest child is and guess how supportive my wife is.
Awesome looking truck. Exactly the way i want my truck
Great Video.. I like the way you explain everything and gave out pointers. Plus didn’t hold back on naming brands that were used.

Nicely built C10, does it have a 3/5 drop?
Short bed pickups are for old men who's second car is a Miata and who live the alternative life style!
Just look at all the visibility in that truck. Absolutely hate driving newer vehicles with blind spots all over. God, wish I could go back in time.
So you guys also take customers vehicles to build? Because im interested!
Beautiful!
Awesome job! Very clean! What kind of headlights are those?
Steering wheel manufacturer? Any custom horn components to make this work? Perfect size, and keeps the OEM look. Thanks!
Matt Clegg I need to know this too!
Brotherstruck sells them
I have a 1972 GMC C1500 step side where can I get a quote for rebuild?
Slick truck! Are ya gonna give up what exhaust you used? I want that sound! I've still got my sb gm not ready for a LS.... yet!
What size tires and wheels? Building a 1972 two wheel drive Blazer now. LS3/4L70
That is niiiiiiccce
Did you cut the frame to do the conversion? Is their a kit for this? Do you have to find a Short bed or use the panel kit? Did you use a 6L80e transmission?
Thanks, for your time
Beautiful 😻

Very clean and well done truck. What radiator did you use for the swap? Thanks
What exhaust do you guys have this truck? Sounds amazing
Great video! Your opinion on engine/gearbox mounts... poly or rubber?
It’s been 2 years… but would you guys be able to tell us which exhaust you were using on this 5.3?

Awesome build. What engine and trans harness did you use
Have you guys ever restored/worked on any Internationals?
Worked on an international and a studebaker too.

$20k for an LS swap...
For a shop to do it right that is a correct estimate
