Re: Crash's 72 K10

Started the day out by re-installing the brake lines. I was able to use the ones on the passenger side with a little re-bending.



I had to bend a new line for the drivers side




Next step was the exhaust manifolds. I was able to find a set of 5.3L Envoy manifolds. They fit like they were made for the truck.






Next was the air conditioner compressor. It fit with no problems using the Pacific Fabrication x-member.









I will have some problems with this line. I either cut a notch in the frame, or I found another line.



Power steering pump install.



Coil packs and plug wires installed.



Then I worked on getting the belts installed.






Next was the wiring… Starting right here makes the installation of the wiring harness easy.




Then I installed the radiator support and radiator.









By the way.. it was 69 here today.. light winds.. I should have been fishing..



I need to bend the tubing for the transmission lines the cheap ass tubing bender O’Reilly’s sold me does not work on steel lines (copper only). Tomorrow I hope to find a set of 5/16” tubing benders and get the transmission lines done. Next big hurdle is the exhaust. I need to put something together until I can get to a muffler shop.
