Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Seat is a little too high. Gonna redo the seat brackets. Seat is red because i planned to paint the truck, but the patina looks too cool to cover up! Red don't match the green but i got a green mexican blanket i might use to cover it. here is the blanket. Decisions.....
![]() if i use the blanket i will have it pulled tight and clipped

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Thanks man, Those steering joints were a ton of money. Wasnt expecting to dump so much money on such a little part. Blanket will match the truck better. Red seat just looks so good!

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Looks great. I remember someone on this forum used the simular seat and they cut a section out of the seat mount and rewelded it. You could not even really tell after that it was sectioned.
Keep up the good work. Marc

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
oh yeah, I was gonna ask you about the price. Those things are waaay overpriced, my friend just paid like $90 for one. I'v seen them much cheaper, still def those little nickel and dime parts you never expect. One of the LS swap down falls for sure, but its worth the little extra effort. The rack setups with IFS man that looks like a nightmare to do. I like your set up, pws on the s10 is def easier to get your steering linkage to.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Yea, it seems like everything is coming together slowly, and more nickle and dimes than I got to give. Im just waiting for the day I can sit in the driver seat and let it all pay off. Maybe in the next few weeks. Wish me luck!

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
hey that day will come man, it will seem as it will never come sometimes, but it will. Then if you are even more lucky, you won't be ironing out a bunch of stuff on the shakedown. I hate the nickel and dime stuff, it gets overwhelming. Even if you make a checklist I don't like to look at them, when you look back you'll be like wow that was alot of work, lotta little things. But you'll have something to show for it, something fun to drive and something that will make alot of people want one. I wish us all good luck and weather. We are fortunate to have what we do have, even if its a crappy tool or a leaky garage (or a garage at all) or even a project to work on.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Video of the truck running a lot better.
http://youtu.be/z9wXim0-WFI once I get the exhaust on it should run a lot smoother, no back fires. Then got the radiator support made and mocked everything up. lower radiator hose is only like 4 inches long ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Right on! Looks good. Like the chrome MC and booster. What are the specs on it and how did you determine what one to pick?
Cheers!

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Thanks! I thought there would be a bit more involved in picking one.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Most brake systems are the same as far as boosters and master cylinder. I had to make the plunger that goes from the pedal to the booster tho.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Had a couple seat backs.... Took the truck on its maiden voyage and it started blowing oil out the exhaust. I think its just the valve seals, but haven't gotten to swap them all out yet. It only does it when you first start it, a little smoke, then once you would think a good bit of oil has gotten to the valves. i think my motor may be a little more than 3 degrees tilt which makes the oil gather around the cyl. that is dumping oil. I did a compression test and its not the rings. Taillights wont work either, I think the ones I bought are defective. Hope to have it rolling soon enough tho. Been a real bummerhere that past few weeks.... Keep on keepin on

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
The water neck is off ebay. Just searched straight ls1 water neck. Intake is painted with engone paint. I think any paint will work. I bought it already painted. I sent my harness to lsx-harness.com. i sent them the right connectors too but i think they will supply them. Radiator i got from speedwaymotors.com. it was on sale in the yardsale. I had to put my fan on the front to push. Not sure its gonna be enough airflow tho. Motor seemed to still get too hot. Well see once i drive it
