Oh, I kinda figured it was some sort of GM equipment from a serial number. But, just too darn lazy to look it up. LOL!!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
The plan is to keep it cheap- most items can be done DIY to save money. It's been proven you can spend a bunch of cash on one of these swaps; I'd like to see how little I can spend and still have a nice setup...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Nice looking motor, I wanted to do an LS Swap too but the cost of it and the lack of knowledge on my part I decided to go Big Block. Can't wait to see how it turns out for you.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
So, what led me to the 'yard where I happened upon the engine, was the search for a pair of pigtails to hook up my latest upgrade. I blatantly stole this idea from 67cheby, who blatantly stole it from another member

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
The bulb does have a little buggy appeal but overall looks/fits well.
I'm curious to see the light quality once it's been hooked up. I have a feeling an LS project will be in my future and not on my '69. ![]()

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I have just spent the last 2 hours reading this build, and I can say very cool the way you were able to build and keep it from being in a million pieces.
