Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010
3. Install Power Brake booster and new Master Cylinder and Prop Valve to work with the C5 brakes.
- Possible need to fab new mount plate for booster.
- Might need to modify flex lines from MC/Prop Valve to Frame tabs.
4. Install 5.3/4L60e set up, using Spectre Performance Intake tube/filter (#9900) and Headman Muscle Rod LS swap headers (#45666). Re-work stock harness myself. Mount PCM and Fuse block under the hood. I am still working on ideas as to where to mount them.
- Need Frame/Engine mounts. Leaning toward CPP’s new Sheet Metal Frame Mounts #6372MP-SM ($159), and there sliding mounts. Not sure yet, may fab my own…
- Trans cross member…CPP, PBFab, I may fab my own…
- May need to do some fab work to mount the radiator and oil coolers to the core support.
- Need Fuel Pump for use in an ’87 sending unit/tank. I plan to mount the tank in the front of the bed with an old barn wood box built to hide it. ($100)
- Drive Shaft, have one may need to be modified for length…
5. Install Bench Seat and Seat Belts.
- Need to decide on reworking stock seat or just use one that I have from an ’82 and throw a blanket over it…
6. Make it street legal.
- Headlights, Taillights, Turn Signals, Horn, Wipers, etc…
