    Finally got a running 65 C10

    With all that said, how do we determine if this is the original engine? I dont have any codes in the glove box, the engine number is 3789817. Its been completely gone through andn honestly doesnt look bad at all

    I disagree. They make brackets for ;literally everything LS. Around here you can get a running on the stand 5.3 with trans, TUNED computer for $1500, then all you need is move the crossmember back, some motor mounts, its not even that hard or expensive. Ive got 500 in parts or morew right now on...

    Finally got a running 65 C10

    I guess it will make you all happy to know that as of last night I decided to continue the 283 build since i received all the 400 in parts i bought for it. Today I went to horrible freight and bought an engine stand, got it mounted with hardware store bolts, removed the intake, pan, replaced...

    Yall act like the LS platform is some space age tech when in reality its at least 26 year old tech that is still mechanical at its core, youd think they were putting tesla batteries in these trucka the way yall talk

    Lmfao. LS swaps are cheap. I guess it will make you all happy to know that as of last night I decided to continue the 283 build since i received all the 400 in parts i bought for it.

    Thanks, its my first rodeo. (sarcasm) I'm sorry everyone here is crying about the LS. Lord. Worse than a facebook group full of boomers that tell you to paint your rig when you ask about static drops

    Yeah, and I also have a couple hundred piece tap and die set from northern tool so when I get back from lunch, I’ll check that out. Going to Harbor freight right now to get another hydraulic jack from my engine hoist. It quit hoisting and it’s super old, all the O-rings are blown out of it and...

    Finally got a running 65 C10

    I adjusted the column shifter the other day, and topped the trans off with gear oil and that helped as well. As far as keeping it old school, maybe. I’ve had plenty of squares with small blocks that did good. I’ve also had plenty of new trucks with Ls platforms. If this truck already had...

    Finally got a running 65 C10

    Finally! I could afford a running driving 60s pick up. I sold my 2022 Honda CB 1000 R to get this. Went from doing 160 miles an hour on the freeway to 55 lol. My first truck was a 64 GMC suburban, I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since. I’ve had several, none of them running, all project...

    Need an EFI recommendation

    I don’t know much about these older systems, and since they are so old, I really don’t care to learn or play with other options. It’s pretty much either a standalone EFI or LS swap it. Unfortunately, this is a Frankentruck, with parts having being robbed off of like two other vehicles and put on...

    Need an EFI recommendation

    Why would they have gotten more expensive overtime? That’s not how technology works. FI tech had them for well Under $1000 a decade ago seems like. Edit: unless Biden Harris

    Need an EFI recommendation

    Here’s a thread to my build https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/helping-a-brother-out.39934/ Truck is a 350/4l60e. Dad took a GM efi system out of a Chevy van and installed it on the truck so it already has electric fuel pump. It has never run quite right because of the cam size and the fact...

    1Lows 64 C10 “service truck”

    This is what I want the truck to look like but the red/pink it is now. I’m going to try to repair all rust and spot spray back with a close color, doesn’t have to be perfect, but I like the overall look of the truck. And I won’t have to worry about messing it up. Sort of state of the art chassis...

    1Lows 64 C10 “service truck”

    work been slow so I built me a gantry crane to lift big stuff like the cab and bed on this truck. Best part is I didn’t have to buy a thing. Used wheels off one of my work scaffolds lol. 12’ tall may have been a little overkill but hey. Need to go to the pawn shop and find a chain fall.

    1Lows 64 C10 “service truck”

    I got the squarebody crossmember and the 64 crossmember apart, I’m goin to use the 64 crossmember with the square upper and lower controls arms. Planning on 3” drop spindles. Haven’t really done much, work slow so not a lot of dough. Today I welded up a cracked core support mount on the frame...
