One of the best parts of our 60's and 70's trucks is they are simple yet versitle.
This year my 67 C10 will be 57 years old. I still really like the truck. Five lug conversion, disc brakes, internal regulator alternator, headlight relays, HEI distributor, Power electrical wiring upgrade. Fun, simple upgrades/updates.

This year since GM has worked out the kinks on their LS motor thing (27 years).
I am going to try one. The hardware I think I have worked out. Electronics, a stand alone wire up. ECU placement talks to me saying under the dash. Drivers side and use the clutch rod hole to the new funny looking motor. I see posts that it has been used. Long term thoughts on using it I can't find.

To the pioneers of LS conversion on the Forum
Thoughts on using it ?
Why did you choose your location?
Are you happy with it ?
Wish I would have done it this way ?

Sure not happy cutting bed wood for a gas tank fill hole but I did one of Patrick's ( Pjmoreland ) dummy filler neck kits. Works and looks great. Great work Patrick ! The truck and me are smiling again.
