LS Swap S10 Brake Line Routing In Crossmember Notch

I am not a professional. This video is for entertainment purposes only. I am not sponsored by any company mentioned in this video. I did this install based on my own research and used my own money to purchase the products.
In this video I will show you how I routed my brake lines after I notched the crossmember in the S10. I will also show you the heater box cut out and show how much clearance the cut out gained me at the passenger side head. Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing!

Thanks for this. Like you said, I've never seen this brake line modification in any other S10 LS swap video.

@mitchgriffin1780 Thanks. I searched all over KZbin for how people were routing their brake lines on an S10 after notching the crossmember and didn't find anything so I thought this would be good information to share. Thanks again for watching and I appreciate the comment!

Nice work I ran mine under frame rails and back up farther away from headers and heat

[@dtperformance256]

@allencobbs4047 thanks for sharing, I never thought about going back down the frame rails and across.

Ok this is trick! I still may go full k member on my 2000, but IF I DONT! . Now i did similar on my current ZR2 based truck for all but fuel to the rear during a back "half" ( i use quotations as a back half to me is firewall back lol) this is cab-ish back but very cool video, saved for later "break glass in case of" 🎉

@beasyphone Thanks again for watching and commenting. Let me know if you have any questions!

Now I'm going to have to redo my breaklines once I get my truck back from the body shop. Very well thought out and detailed way of doing it. Thanks a bunch my friend. BTW, when do you think you'll be ready to do the seat brackets? I'm good to go anytime, I get my truck back on the 23rd.

[@dtperformance256]

@yourpcmd Go to my FB and get my email. Order the seat brackets from my video and when you email me, I will send you my address. I’ll get the flat bar on order and when the brackets arrive, I’ll take the weekend to get them welded up, painted and shipped back to you. Sound good? As always thanks for the support my friend.
