Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
I did some more reassembly last night. I got the e-brake reinstalled with some stainless oversized acorn nuts. I think it finishes it off a little nicer than a couple of stainless nuts on a painted bolt. Not that the brake cable and grommet look all that great.
![]() ![]() I also got the vintage air system reinstalled under the dash. I hope it's all finished under there because, MAN... that was a PAIN!! The firewall looks good though, so it was all worth it. (sorry, no pics... look further back in my thread and you'll see it again.)

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
Very nice work!
Where are you getting your driveshaft made? I'm getting close to that myself to.

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
I'm having a local shop rebuild my rearend and they are recommending Denny's Driveshaft. They're based in New York. They've told me out of the many places in the Houston area they've used, they aren't impressed with the work of even the best shop here, as compared to Denny's. I know it's a bit time heavy compared to a local shop, but I think it'll be worth it.

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
Thanks guys!
Got the VHX gauge computers mounted to an aluminum panel that I plan on mounting behind the gauge cluster. There's also a ground block in the middle. Sorry about the blurry cell phone pic. I couldn't get a clearer shot. ![]()

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
The panel is a good idea. It will really help organize the module and harness package. Going to keep that in mind for my VHX too. Thanks!

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
Good idea, I might have to steal it when I get to that point.

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
I saw a display of the VHX setup at Classic Parts the other day and it really looks trick. Was wondering, does it play well with an ECU? I haven't researched what will be required to map things like oil pressure, water temp, tachometer and etc. into the Classic Instruments gauges I purchased to use with the old school Gen I engine. Since switching over to the LS3, it may be worthwhile to consider a VHX panel if you can plug it into the factory harness.

Rob Hartley (Hart_Rod) has done a VHX (in the gold 68) and the new HDX setup in his vehicles. The latest is the HDX in his Superburb project. He's running LS based engines in both. It will be worth looking at his threads too. Last night I was able to get the panel installed and start to connect the BIM modules to the gauge controller. ![]()

There's a setting within the HDX menus that allow you to change where a particular gauge gets it's input, i.e. SENSOR or BIM. It's pretty easy to setup. Let me know if you have any questions.

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
Nice work on the VHX install. I still have to finish making the panel I started making for mine. I have so many modules to put on it, I was running out of room and haven't gotten back to finishing it.

![]() I'm willing to sell the gauges, as for the wiring, are you talking about the part of the harness between the gauges and the dash harness? I don't think I'll be using any of it, but I'll need some time to figure it out. If you're really interested, PM me an offer.

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
I have made some progress over the last week and a half. Not much, but progress is still progress...
I finally got the high hump installed. Had to mark and drill the holes, then cut some more of the floor for the clips I used, but it's in... or was. ![]() I dropped the engine in this weekend so I could test an idea of where I want to mount the ECM. I had been thinking I'd mount it under the dash, but it's really really cluttered in there now... Here it is sitting on a plate I made to bolt to the dash, and was going to somehow tie it to the pedal mount plate I still need to make. ![]() Instead, I thought I'd try and see if the harness would reach to under the seat. So, I started routing the wires from the sensors back to the cab. ![]() ![]() It appears to be long enough that I can make that work, so I'm going to try and use the junk harness first and get it where I want it, then copy it with the new replacement (good) harness. It looks like there's a ton of extra wire, but there really isn't. Some of all that coiled wire is useless (rear O2 sensors, EVAP stuff and such). The MAF sensor wires are too short, but I can add to them. Also, since the back of the engine and trans are the furthest from where the ECM used to mount in the Express Van, there is a lot of extra length for those wires, but not so much for the front drivers side sensors. Should be interesting, and make for some "fun" nights and weekends ahead. I'm not a big fan of wiring... ![]() Oh, and in case you can't tell, I have some peeling paint issues on the engine and trans. I guess I either didn't clean it or scuff it well enough. I'll be pulling it back out to fix those areas.

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
So I think I have my ECM and fuse panel mounting location figured out...
![]() It will be behind the seat, next to the subwoofer.

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
Well it's not exactly what I had in mind, but it was easier than my original plan (MDF), and it doesn't require that I cover it with carpet or something.

Dig the PCM mount setup! I love that pic with all the wiring too. It brings back fond memories
