1983 Chevy K10 LT Swap Walkaround

[@alfansomendoza8556]

Dude, thats one clean setup, looks like it could have came that way. I love the shifter swap with the + and -

[@noah63nova14]

Thank you sir! That’s what I tried to do was make it look as OEM as possible.

[@tjicantdraw]

@@noah63nova14 how'd you get the shifter to fit the column?

[@noah63nova14]

Had to take two shifters and make one. One new one old. Cut off of old, weld to the new, weld it up and grind it down to fit right. Then drill out the threaded hole so it isn’t threaded.

[@JayTX.]

I'm a sucker for old school rims but this is one of the nicest trucks I've seen in a while , I haven't made my mind up yet on a drop or lift on my 85

[@noah63nova14]

Thank you! I’ve actually sold the big wheels. If it’s 4wd I’m not sure how easy a drop would be. Vice versa for 2wd. Either way I’m sure you’ll figure it out and get it just how you want!

Nice truck I have a 84 from Montana- I live in Michigan. Nice Job - I Don't care for the low profile tires and I hate them Dam LED Lights!! Just being honest. Nice work. I have mine parked because of the Salt here on the Roads. I love Driving them trucks. Grew up with em. Sounds Great

[@noah63nova14]

Thank you sir. To each his own. The factory headlights suck and I enjoy driving the truck as much as possible. & if you check out some of my other videos/shorts you’ll see I’ve had it on other wheels. I’m not biased towards any set way, I like them any way. Just like trying something different

[@jeffelordi8950]

Very nice! I'm sure I will have a few questions for you on my L83 6l80e swap into my 78 K10. Hopefully I will get it back from the paint shop by the end of the month.

I sure would like to see a how to on swapping the super duty axles. But I just want to be able to hit the 4hi or 4 lo button cuz I’m lazy and don’t want to get out and then the hubs when I want 4x4

[@noah63nova14]

I’ll be posting as I go on the axles. I have a 2010 f350 front axle. Actually going to end up using a GM/dodge rear axle. Will convert the ford hubs to 8x6.5 pattern. That’s what I will be able to do, will be wired to the factory 2014+ GM switch. Can do the hubs like ford did on vacuum or just leave them locked all the time and just put it in 4wd when needed

[@ReshardsAutomotiveWorkshop]

My .02 cents says go with the super duty axles. They are a great deal and easy to use.

[@noah63nova14]

That’s actually what I plan to do! I’ve looked into it much more since I did this video. Most likely going to build my own coilover setup for the front and run radius arm. Then just factory leafs in rear. Just need the time and money lol

[@tomkelly3896]

Nice...i have an 87...k10.gmc.....4 inch lift...35 in bfg.....goin to.moab...again

GMC’s are the best. Definitely harder to find. Sounds like a sweet ride

If you don't mind me asking..what brand of rims are on that beautiful truck? I absolutely love the look of those rims. Your truck is amazing to such a amazing job

[@noah63nova14]

I don’t mind at all! Those wheels were made by Hostile wheels. I don’t think they make that model anymore but they have plenty of other good looking options. Thank you!

[@frankmorin557]

How much the rims and tires cost u bro because I have a chevy c1500 1991 i like that 👌 😏

[@noah63nova14]

I think these ones were about 3k new

[@ChanceColwell]

I’m wanting the 5.3/4L80E swap my square body is a mail order tune worth it do I just tell them what all I’ve done to the engine and tell them the transmission I’m running along with my tire size and gear ratio and send it to them and when I receive it back plug it in and run it

[@noah63nova14]

If you’re leaving the engine stock that may be a reasonable option. If it’s not stock I would find a reputable tuner local to you or have it remote tuned

[@Rail9222]

Not a fan of the wheels and tires but it is a nice build.👍

[@noah63nova14]

Thank you. They’re actually sold. Going back old school most likely. I just like trying different stuff 👍🏼

[@fowleraj26]

I’m working on a 88 dually. I have an L86 6.2 with a 8L90. What issues did you have getting the ac compressor in the corner area down there?

[@noah63nova14]

I’ve seen a few people with different mounts look like they have better luck with ac clearance. I ended up cutting probably a 1in at the thickest by 5in long notch in the frame. I was able to squeeze everything in with minor cutting but you couldn’t get a wrench in to tighten the compressor bulkhead down. I will end up welding a plate in and probably making an access hole for the bolt

[@50LOT1]

where is your shop at? I am in Wisconsin hope you nearby. if not, then what does it take to put x on similar truck?

[@noah63nova14]

Don’t have a shop sadly. Just do this work for myself. What do you mean by put x on a similar truck?

[@maxwolthuis]

Yeah man I did the ls swap with an adapter to keep the 208 and the passenger side drop axle. If I had money flying outta my butt I’d also do some newer 8 bolt axles that are drivers side drop

[@noah63nova14]

I surely wish I had money flying out of my butt lol. It’s not a quick process that’s for sure all of this stuff takes me awhile

[@maxwolthuis]

Yours is a clean build my guy 👌 usually when folks do these swaps their engine bay looks like a wire rats nest but you kept everything clean and tidy. I always have my eyes open for some axles and if I ever found some for a good deal I would absolutely get ‘em, but people are charging 6x as much as they used to for old parts… thus the money flying outta butts 😂

[@noah63nova14]

Thank you sir. Yeah man definitely understand that. I’m pretty big on I’ll wait until I find a good deal

[@saddamtoom]

what about fuel number how many miles you get per gallon ??

[@noah63nova14]

Hasn’t been calculated. Tend to drive it by smiles per gallon not miles. That being said, it does good on fuel. Best it’s done with any engine and transmission setup. With my new axles they will be better geared for the transmission which will only make the mpg better. Have talked to others that get 20mpg+ with similar setups while highway driving

[@sethi6672]

Looks awesome. Do you have a part number for the CAI, and what mods did you do to make it work, it looks great!

[@noah63nova14]

Thank you. I’ll have to look, was for a 2020+ Silverado I believe. Chevy performance kit. I had to cut it all up and make a bracket for the inner fender to hold the air filter housing

Don't get me wrong I it's got crate motor with about 15 k on it body straight as arrow lift kit but I don't have LS swap I was thinking Duramax if I do anything they pulling stupid horsepower out guy I bought my truck from got it new he got duramax said it will be his last truck. I just need to not drive cept when I need truck I hit gas it will pass everything but gas station. But my true love is the Harleys but if when they break bingo you need truck. Last time mine broke I call tow trucks people with van trailer could find nobody got tired sitting there knew I would lock up top end but at least got me all the way home b4 it stopped. So don't wanna sell my truck you just don't see these old ones no more feel kinda special yep I'm idiot lol have great life getting ready for work peace
