Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Pic 2.. I'm hoping to get my glass installed in the next two weeks... I insured the truck last week and going to register it this week.

So after driving my truck around the neighborhood for the last month working out the bugs, yesterday I was driving it and all of a sudden I couldn't shift into second gear, WTF?? So of course all of the worse scenarios ran through my head ( synchro's, clutch fork, or air in my master cylinder). After bleeding my clutch more and still not able to get it in second gear while the engine running led me to googling. After an unhelpful search, I called Todd and asked him about a reverse sensor on the T56 That I read on the LS forums, simple fix, who should ever guessed... Another learning experience ![]()

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Thanks! It is really a blast to drive, especially since I haven't owned a stick car or truck since high school. Both my teenage kids want me to teach them, which I plan on doing.. With me in the passenger seat for sure lol.

Your truck is looking amazing! I like how you had the seat insert done and the notch in the seat for shifter. Really a super nice job all around.

Your truck just keeps getting nicer! Looks great.
Sorry, I can't help you with your ECM problem. I don't know much about troubleshooting on those things. |

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
The truck is coming out so well, I love the simplistic-badass-ery.
I am doing a very similar drivetrain with the T56, do you have any specifics or pictures on what you ended up doing for the hydraulic line/fittings and bleeder?

Here is the line I ordered off of eBay and worked perfect. I kept the OEM bleeder. If you need more info or pics let me know.

What size hole-saw did you use in the firewall for the engine harness? Did you have any pictures of the completed mounting if ECM/Fuse Box and Vintage Air under the dash? Reading through the VA instructions, it looks like it's going to be TIGHT under there.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
I still need to install the wing windows. I'm not sure if I want to attempt to rebuild mine or buy new ones.. It would save me a lot of money to rebuild mine.
Ordered a new shift knob today (F'ing Fast) lol, since I broke mine by over tighting it. ![]()

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
I also stained an extra piece of my cherry wood to see what it would look like. I think I'm going to go with it.

Nyce shifter, beds going to look sweet!
I rebuilt my wing windows, well one of them so far. Not hard just time consuming, soaked mine over night in Evaporust and repainted lower bracket. Protect that paint and take your time.
