has there been any more progress on this build? have I missed something?

lrall nice build thread. What kind of gauges did you use? I can't see any mfg marks on them in the pic. Also what brand wiring harness did you purchase for the cab?

Classic Instruments is the brand for the gauges, they seem to be nice quality!! The wiring harness for the cab is 'kwik wire'. My autoshop teacher was a dealer and it is really an awesome kit.

If anyone has any experience with wiring up a Lokar floor shifter into a truck I could use some tips. I am a bit tripped up with that currently. I have the big stuff done but little things like power to the coil and such are holding me back. Its tough because I want it to be so clean and stock looking but I have to add a wire here and there.

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 
what are you needing to wire up the neutral safety switch and the lights in shifter for nighttime driving?

Back from the dead.....I won't post up pics or vids till its running! I have the truck wired up to run but can't seem to get it to crank. A friend of my grandpas(hotrod wiring guy) is coming to help me clear things up and it *should* be ready to go soon! Then its seats, driveshaft, and brakes!

You are inspiring me to work on my truck some more ! Hope to see you on the road soon. Wave back at the guy in the junky black 72 !

glad to see you posted young man! can't wait to see what you have been up to with your truck.

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 
I have run into a bit of a problem...still. There is a neutral SAFETY switch and a park/neutral INDICATOR switch. 12v goes through the neutral safety switch(shifter on the floor) when key is turned to crank in park/neutral. No continuity in other gears(correct). My problem comes when the painless TBI harness wants me to wire the orange/black and black/white wire to the park/neutral indicator switch. I had these wires running to the neutral safety switch and that is WRONG. I hope we didn't fry the PCU :s Any hints/help? I am calling painless now.

Lrall 09-28-2011 01:45 PM

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 
Painless part # 60122 Park/Neutral Relay is the solution :) Will order today and thennnnnnn

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 
The Truck CRANKS!!!!!!!!!!! I do have a question for anyone that may know. I am obviously working on starting the engine. However I don't want to burn up the power steering pump when i start it. Does anyone know if I can loop the power steering lines off the pump? I know one side is high pressure and low pressure. Will the high pressure blow the line off the return or?

Lrall 10-07-2011 12:28 AM

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 
I'll keep talking to myself :P The truck was cranking, now I am having an issue with the relay. Relay in, no cranking. Jumper wire, engine cranks. Oil pressure gauge is not working correctly, not sure what the deal is. The truck WAS cranking, but had no injector spray. Going to work with painless and figure out the cranking problem, then the gauge problem. Then the fuel problem. Then i *hope* it starts

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 
One of these days I'll get to that point on mine. Wish I could give you great words of wisdom, but not sure what to check. Keep trotting along with it, your doing a great job.

Lrall 10-10-2011 07:15 PM

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 
Another update, I finally got the injectors firing. Turns out I was only providing power to the computer in 'run' not start and run. Now, I have to triple check my firing order/dizzy because it seems out of whack. I have like 4 videos of no startup lol

Is it done yet I need photos for inspiration!

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 
Done yet? not quite!! It does run, and I got the rear mounts for the seat done. I am going to work on the fronts monday. I need to buy -AN fittings/line to make my custom power steering line. After I get the PS line in, made and installed I will be able to run the motor and get it up to operating temp(I can't put the belt on now, would burn up the pump).

Wow, time flies! I'll get some pictures up this weekend hopefully. It's not 100% done, it does run and drive now. I need to put exhaust on and finish the body but I have finished up a few things. The biggest change is that I own the truck now!

good to see you back! i share your build everytime someone asks and is ready to by a s10 chassis swap kit for $1500+ dollars and they read the thread figuring out the kit isn't needed! just have to be a redneck or a farmer! LOL!

Lrall 06-06-2017 04:41 PM

Re: my 48 s10 swap
 
Back at it. Exhaust going on today(now!). 2.5" Y pipe to a single 3" collector with a baby glass pack, she should be pretty rowdy! Insurance coming to get it registered also. Next is door handles and front end to get it semi-road worthy.
