El Cheapo LS Fuel System Install - Plus C10 gets an Interior on a 71 C10

- I've been thrashing hard on the C10 lately! All of a sudden it seems like this truck is almost finished. I've never done a "cheap" efi fuel pump retro fitted into a stock tank, so fingers crossed it works. I used an Ebay in tank fuel pump and simply clamped it to the factory sending unit. A few fuel injection clamps and some hose later it was all hooked together. I still have to pressure test my lines, but I'm pretty confident. I also managed to get most of the C10's interior back together. I transferred over the door panel and glass to the new door, pressure washed the carpet and re-installed the bench seat. Starting to look like a truck again! Seems like I'll be tackling the wiring next! Stay Tuned!

Let me know what you think about the truck guys!
In love with the truck. Fingers crossed with the motor..
It's looking good like it as a tough shortbed....Definitely liking the Exhaust it's going to sound good...
Looking pretty good, the LS swap is cool.
Best part is hearing the Canadian slang - "yoink" that part out. Love it!
Looking great Dan!! I’m an interior guy so would replace carpets but that’s just me.
Did the door locks work?
I laughed when you said the carpet looked fine when you stand far enough away. :)
That carpet reminds me of a apartment I had in 1978. :-)
sounds like u had a nice place haha
I'm in my 60s now and love that your using what's
Available..it's getting to be a lost art ...making something out of nothing
Keep up the schoolin..
yeah saving a few bucks goes a long way.
You sir are a inspiration, work ethic,cool projects and beating the winter blues by keeping busy. Love it!
yeah i gotta keep busy.
Awesome seeing the difference from Day 1, great series, Thanks for sharing.
thanks buddy! its coming along
Things keep moving right along.Nice to see things are going back together again .Keep up the great work. When the saying fits "new is good...but used is tested !" What a great vehicle to have fun with .
haha its been well tested
the truck is looking great ! one if my favorite body styles ! keep up the good work. nice to see someone working on stuff the way most of us “garage mechanics” do, no sponsors or rich backing just doing it cause you want to!
yup its just a hobby haha
This is a great string videos. Love seeing this old C10 resurrected.
Looking good, can't wait to hear it run!
same here haha
Fuel lines look top notch Dan, keep up the great work and it'll be a good runner.
thanks craig!
That's how you put a truck together without throwing a ton of money at it and still make it cool like it can't wait to see more
It’s coming together quickly ! I am enjoying this build
awesome! thanks for watching
I am on the edge of my seat waiting to hear it! Your vids are the best, man. Love the look of the vehicles, and the relaxed presentation. Keep at ‘er!
thanks buddy! should be running soon!
That thing is going to roar with that exhaust like that. Loving this build
haha yeah itll be a little noisy
Another great video Dan. Thanks for sharing your hard work.
thanks for the support!
The door sounds good and solid when you close it so nice work on putting in all the floor parts!, can't wait to hear it run!
yeah its a solid truck
This is exactly what I needed to see. How to retrofit an in cab tank to EFI/Fuel Injection with an internal pump.
It's coming along. Another great video 👍👍🇨🇱
Great video! The fuel system is what I was waiting for can't wait to hear it fire up. With that exhaust, you won't be able to hear the fuel pump.
haha exacatly
I'm pretty stoked about it! So yeah!!
haha same
One time we used the old funky gunky floor rug as a pattern, and cut another one for my friend's 55 Chev. It wasn't difficult to do, it fit right in, and it came out fine. My friend was happy with it.
Its perfect! Get it running and its done! Beautiful!
haha totally agree
When it gets out of the garage and you can walk all around it at a bit of a distance... just enough so you can soak it all in 3/4 front and rear angle views will look amazing. Side view stares will really bring out an appreciation for what was done to make it a SHORTY.
Truck is coming along Great Dan!
thanks buddy
Glad to see you using the original tank , i like that they offer conversion products, i have 67 and using my original tank. I dont have a thousand dollars to spend on that stuff .keep up the good work.
Looking Good man, Love those old trucks
yeah theyre cool old hot rods
It’s really coming together now, it’s gonna make someone a cool little truck, I dig it....
yeah its a cool unit
That C10 is looking very good! Good job!!!
thanks!
@@DDSpeedShop you are quite the car builder...And, you're very welcome. You and Dani seem to really enjoy each others company, never loose that magic.
The ol’ girl is starting to look like something now Dan , I love the vent windows on the older trucks and cars . One more thing we need to see more of Steve . Cheers
yeah im a sucker for anything with vent windows!
It's looking good!!!
Looking very good...keep it up..cant wait to see more of T wrecks too..👍.....
yeah im ready to finish this thing up
Fine work Dan, it's coming together great...I'll come up to pick it up when it's warmer! Ha!
Deal!
Leaving the old carpet and interior pieces will give the next owner an idea of the original colors. Looking good.
figured theyd wanna pic the nxet color haha
Love that you are keeping the tank in stock location!
haha your one of the few. im taking alot of heat over it
Nice work on that fuel pump install and fuel system!
thanks!
Oh damn I'm surprised it took so much googling to get to a solution for these in-cab tanks for internal fuel pump. Nice work!
Besides my truck in my logo, this year truck is another one of my favorite! Early 50 s ford truck is also my favorite too
yeah hard to argue with the look of those trucks
NOISE IS A GOOD THINK !!! CANT wait to SEE it moving under its own POWER !! THANKS !
haha yeah thatll be sweeet
lovely stuff
It's going to be done before you know it, great job!

That's a fun project. I like the budget builds. Not all fancy but gets the job done.

@@DDSpeedShop but it works!
Looking really good. Won't be long now and you'll be able to fire it up. I think it's a keeper Dan
Can't wait for next video. Than off to the T
haha i hope i can let it go
Looking good man you trucking along!!!

My current project and yours have a lot in common, mine is less progressed. Watching you inspires me to keep going on mine.

Looks like you got it coming your way. You are sarcastic, humorous, mellow, competent & entertaining. But that's just me.
ill take those all as compliments haha

Nice work man!
Thank you! Cheers!
Damn you work fast, lol. Love the truck and the channel. I'm building a 71 f100 with an efi 302 for my daily right now. Looking forward to the next video
thanks buddy! sounds like a nice rig!
Coming along my friend. Your videos show that you can have a good driver if you have some time, desire, a little money and spare parts. 👍🇺🇸🤙😃Keep up the good work.
thats the plan. thanks for watching!
Truck is coming together nicely! It won't take much more then you can get back on the little hot rod!
yeah a little more love
I have the stang coming along nicely as well.i had to pull front back off motor and pull the gear drive out..went to summit yesterday to get thrust bearing for billet dbl roller,but I mocked it back together and now my pulleys lined up..wont be long now..truck is coming along nicely..looking like We may be ripping holeshots bout same time💪👊✌
nice! keep making progress my friend
Love it! Going to be a sweet ole truck.
yeah its a cool unit
Hell yeah I dig it man!!
yeah its a cool old truck
nice job. was rusted pretty bad. thank`s for the great video`s
yeah this truck liked to rust haha
Last thing you said is the part that makes it a roller. Once it goes in an out the door, you can drive out to halfass's place and make the t body a roller. Since this has glass you will last longer outside with it unless you rape it around the light pole getting into drifting in a short side... I used to blast this old 56 caddy convertible that really nothing but paint wouldn't fix, even the top was tight with a glass back window was in it but damn off the side of guard rails was a blast. Couldn't kill car and we filled the back seat with empties. I get in my 56 short stepside factory with a rear broken brake line and go bout five miles and do a loop de loop and nail a tree sober. Pissed me off bad as I was driving careful and slow and crash dead 56
Nice work getting to the fun part now ready for start up , you could’ve saved yourself a bit of mucking around by running the fuel return in one of the unused vent fittings on the tank I’ve done that and it works well, can’t wait to see that T coupe fired up and driving hot rods are so much fun building and driving them, keep up the awesome content and the live feeds it’s all good stuff, cheers from a fellow motor head from down under Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 😎👍👍🍻
Thabks buddy! This other tank didn't have a vent on it for some reason. I'm stoked to get back on the T
Nice, good to see you don't waste time on the 'non-essentials' 👍
haha i do not
Nice work man 👍✌
Thanks ✌
We should be able to hear it run soon.... The pressure in the return line will only be the resistance to flow so no worries there....well done once again.
yeah im thinking itll be good
Let's hear this beast!!!
amazing content
Cool video, I have a 71' Chevrolet C-10 that I just started restoring. I'll be learning some stuff from your video, keep loading up new videos. New subscriber here👍🇺🇸..

Yeaaa buddy. Looking good
thanks buddy!
Looking good!!!!

Awesome project....They all are
thanks for watching my friend
Awesome Channel dude. Watching all the way from Australia. Truck looking awesome. Been watching the T project too. Usually watch out in the garage as I’m “trying” to weld something myself!!!
nice! get back to it my friend
Good progress. Also excited for the first start up. (No hood scoop) 😁 you should keep the truck.
yeah im ready to hear it make some noise
Keep the great work
thanks buddy!
And is my favorite style , is good video tank you for share 🤝👍
Nice truck I have a 1971 c10 I want to put a ls in it it has a 250 straight 6 now see you working on your make me want to do my truck !
Nice! Get out there and make it happen.
"You guys can judge me in the comments..." Made me laugh... Keep up the good work! Love your innovation and how you solve problems.
haha im just winging it
Great job Dan....Oh and by the way I seen my map on the bench..take care you two.
Thanks tory!
Looks great to me!
your easy to please haha
looks good man
thanks joe!
Nice job resurrecting that beater. Almost time to get that thing sold and move on to the hot rod.
yes and yes
For your shifter dilemma, put a nut between the 2 levers under hood, couple spot welds, then hook up to transmission. Still be column shift. Keep the videos up, liking all of them!!
good call!
awesome content
thanks buddy!
Your doing great. Ide rather have a big block with carb but your wingin it pretty damn good.
I don’t know how long that fuel pump stuff is going to last Dan. Keep knocking it out.... looks great! Hopefully you can drive it by this summer, it’s coming up fast. Ciao my friend!
I hope so too!
hi Dan the truck is turning out nice i have found on widow regulators and door handles white lithium grease is the cleanest last longer then wheel bearing grease and does not evaporate like wd40 awesome job
awesome! good call thanks
gotta love gas tank behind the seat easy to take gas for mower , log spliter . better than cans . rubber mat good for floors then you can hose it out LOL going to sell it here or ebay . nice job, nice truck
Haha thanks buddy.
I love the progress just make sure you are using “fuel injection” hose and clamps as I would hate to see all your hard work go up in flames 🔥
Looks good man! Canuck tire has doormat rolls that make excellent cheap truck rubber flooring 👌 just heat gun it a bit and send it lol
good call! you farmers have all the tips haha
I was watching where you put you carpet in I took some tractor trailer mud flaps and made some cuts to fit around the seat supports to kind of hold them into place and they work really good and that should cover up the carpet. Now I found mine along side the road so the cost was low.. And I have a miss matched set...might go good with the miss colored door.
good call. thanks for the tip
The weather should be changing soooon ,I am thinking c 10 tires smoking.great videos,
yeah im ready for spring haha
nice video
nice content
Nv3500 would make this thing a really fun daily.
Weather stripping glue is called "Gorilla Snot". LOL
hahaha good to know
The fuel system should work fine, I used an external Walbro pump for my '65 GTO when I put a FITech on it. I used the carb feed for the return and ran the high pressure 3/8 down the passenger side. The in cab tank makes it all real short and easy. When I do my '76 C10 I will probably do an in tank pump like you did on this one. Makes things easier if you can fit it through the sender hole. Wasn't enough room on the '65, the sender is real short.
Might seem boring compared to the T, but the C10 a cool project in its own right. Keep going on it.
yeah its just all the tedious stuff on the truck thats kinda boring. the T was a nice break
@@DDSpeedShop Over the 5 years it I was doing the '65 GTO, I took a year off in the middle of it, and months at a time while I was working solely on it. Was about 3 years total doing the frame off and repairing massive rust. Life soaked up another year, then 4 more years before I got it legal to drive. Divorce sucks the wind right out of ya. Had to build my shop to finish it and other projects, she got the shop I did the GTO in.
You have to take a break, go do something else, have fun, rekindle that burning desire to build something, because otherwise you get burned out and just quit. After welding and grinding for months at a time, I painted three other vehicles, and built two engines and transmissions, just so I could get a different kind of dirt under my nails.
Doing the creative fun stuff recharges you to then blast through the boring tedious crap. At least it does for me.
Looks good! Getting excited for the first start. Next video can you get a close up if the to of the fuel sending unit where you squished everything together? Or maybe the seat is in the way....🤷♂️
Yes, I would appreciate that too.
yeah ill give it a once over on the next video
Use what ya got. Anythings a tool. Good ol' American ingenuity in the middle of an organized mess..
absolutely
We used a tank from chevy van fit between rails behind rearend . I got one from s10 2 door blazer it was in rear also think 4drs are mounted on side of frame like fullsize truck. If you decide to go that route another cheap option for these trucks
thanks for the tip man! if i end up keeping it ill probably re do a few things haha
Digging that fuel pump job that is some country boy can survive right there I’ll tell you what dude get u some black AstroTurf w new seal plates u fly I buy
haha thanks man!
you also need a safety roll over switch that shuts the electric fuel pump offin case your in acollision
I notice it all the time and have to say it. U go from standing beside a vehicle to laying under it all in the smoothest motion lol just had to put that out there
Haha its probably mostly the camera.
