I did a LS1,4L60 swap out of a 2001 police Yukon in 2002 into my 65 C10, back then I had to fabricate mounts & wiring, no kits were available back then. The 4 biggest mistakes I made was using CPP parts when upgrading suspension & 5 lug 11" disk brake conversion, they wear out fast and usually don't fit right, the other mistakes was using VintageAir and Quik AC compressor brackets, so avoid CPP, VintageAir, Quik brackets, also avoid all "digital" dashes. Do not use anything wireless in the cab; wireless devices emit toxic EMF radiation and is very harmful in a metal cab. I'd like to get a short wheel base 64-66 C10 panel truck next, but I'm getting too old to work on cars now.
