I would put the battery in the rt rear corner. It would help with weight transfer!

Wow! This truck has come a long way! Awesome! As someone with a LSx swapped truck, I can tell you that you will love it! ESPECIALLY since you are boosted! Woohoo! Vids ASAP!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

All good questions!

I believe you are correct, :).

Thanks!

:lol:, somehow I knew you would say that Kevin.

:metal:

Thanks! :metal:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I got some more parts in today. The Caddy tranny pan should give me about another inch or so of ground clearance. Also, I didn't want to use the Camaro plastic e-pedal, so I called John at Speartech and he recommend using an 05 and up Corvette pedal. So I picked up a brand new GM one off Ebay for only $50 shipped, :metal:. I should be able to modify my pedal mount that I got from ROKCRWLN to make it fit in the truck easily. Best thing is, the rubber pedal pad is exacly identical to the 71-72 Truck pedal pad!!!!!! I was able to pull the CST trim off of my old pedal and it fit on the new pedal pad perfectly:metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal:

Wow that's crazy that the vette pedal is the same my shops 06 kodiak has that same pedal as our old trucks as well guess ill add the vettes to that list as well :haha:

that's cool on the pedal! I'm making notes for my next truck (when I can afford one ;)) It'll get an LS as soon as I can....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

That's awesome! I hope I remember that when I finally get around to doing an LS swap in my 71. Looks great!

That's incredible. I need to see what all is involved in switching my pedal over. I know the connector is different. Anything else special I would need to do?

Very nice!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Who would have thought?

Notes are good, :D

Just let me know, :).

I'm not sure on the connector. How many wires go into yours? I bet you could call PSI and ask him what you would need to do to convert it. I'm going to have John at Speartech build it into my harness.

Thanks Rus!

Here's a few pictures of the mock up mount that I built out of aluminum. I just wanted to make sure I liked the pedal placement. Now, I'll build another out of 3/16th steel.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Looks great! Moving right along...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks! Here's the link to the pedal.

I made an offer of $50 and they accepted. Plus is was free shipping!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thats awesome with the pedal. So cool the trim fits. Who would have thought 40 years later GM is still using the same parts! Well, not really but cool none the less!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks! I couldn't believe it either until I put the CST trim on it. No sense reinventing the wheel (erh pedal...:)), if you don't have to....:D.

I got the pieces cut for the transmission mount and will be working on getting it finished up this weekend.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Cool mods Rob !!!

Nice work as always Rob!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I was wondering if you can show me how you routed your fuel lines from the frame rails to the fuel rails. I am having a hard time routing mine without the exhaust being a problem. Awesome work as always. Thanks Daniel.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Awesome build! I've taken a lot of notes between this thread and a few others. I'm still in the planning phases but the motor has been ordered. Any interest in making another gas pedal mount when you make yours? I can't wait to see it finished

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

A lot of great work is being done here

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks Raul! Still waiting on pictures of yours...;)

Thanks Rus!

Thanks Eric!

Thanks Daniel. I haven't finished the fuel lines on this one yet. But if you look at the Burb, you can see what I did there. I'll post some pictures when I get that part done.

Thanks!

Thanks! Let me get the final version of the pedal adapter built and I'll see what I can do.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

No problem. It's no rush on my end. The only thing I have is a engine and trans at the moment. I still have a mountain of other parts to research and buy so it'll be months before I actually start the swap. If it's a issue I completely understand. Thanks

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Very nice work on the pedal. Too bad it only works for 2005 up. I had to hack my 2003 HERE pedal to make it work.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Looking great! I like the six pack holder. :lol:

The caddy tranny cover swap is nice. I noticed when I did my mock up that it does hang a little low!

If you would hurry up and finish yours, you could take a vacation back to NM and help me finish mine!;)
