yup just pull the weird stuff off the back of the 5.3 pump and slap the stock valve & fitting from the old sbc pump in there. worked like a charm and no leaks. take a sec to flush your box and pump. mine got moisture in it from sitting and made a nice milkshake when i fired it up.

Doing odd and end stuff, this truck hasn't seen a overflow tank in ten years!!!

mattcrp1 · 04-19-2014, 09:24 PM

Lookin good . I take it you used the stick radiator? I nerd to get a radiator for mine. What did you end up doing for the mufflers?

dman1982 · 04-19-2014, 09:43 PM

I used the same ones as before, They where somewhat new so no need to replace them

Check engine light location

dman1982 · 04-20-2014, 08:54 PM

My pics always load sideways so annoying

dman1982 · 04-20-2014, 09:36 PM

Hooked up and ran, no codes at the moment, when it does throw a code it's crazy bright, that just lets you know it's working

dman1982 · 04-20-2014, 11:49 PM

Custom made shifter for the old KLS-10...deer antler from a few years back

dman1982 · 04-22-2014, 08:09 PM

so this linkage somewhat worked, didnt want to go into park, so back to the drawing board...i might do something similar except with 1/4 inch steel, i may do the something but go underneath the column instead of over it...pretty frustrating!!!!!

dman1982 · 04-24-2014, 03:37 PM

any ideas would be very much appreciated!!! not trying to buy too much stuff, still have the old linkage as well

**truckdude239** · 04-24-2014, 07:30 PM

I used the stock linkage in my 71 swap just swaped the c channel cup on the trans

mattcrp1 · 04-24-2014, 11:18 PM

Looking good. I just picked up the pump fitting for mine as well. I also need to div the linkage. What transmission are you running? I need to do my linkage too.

dman1982 · 04-24-2014, 11:20 PM

I'm running the 4l60, shifts good, for a couple days i drove around with the linkage coming through my little door window!!! haha...too eager to get her out and about

Low Elco · 04-25-2014, 10:46 AM

I just slid my pointer on the frame back until it lined up with the shaft on the trans. About 7/16". Bolted it up and never thought about it again.

dman1982 · 04-26-2014, 12:39 AM

dman1982 · 04-26-2014, 12:39 AM
