    Good work and video, Brian! I also like the straight talk with no inane filler. Additionally, I love your wheel stands. I will make some for my '63 C10. Are you able to provide the dimensions? Thanks. Now on to part 2...

    Very nice. I wasn't expecting my rear gear change to raise my RPM as much as it did on my TH350 with my '72 C10, so now I'm researching the 700-r4. Doesn't seem too difficult, just gathering parts and getting the driveshaft shortened.

    @@hdrolling my gear change was kind of an accident, but I had always planned a 700-r4 anyway. Pretty straight forward conversion, this was my third, and wanted to document things, like the exact amount the crossmember shifted back, and the driveline length change. When I told the driveline guy to take 3” off the front section, he commented “700-r4 conversion, huh?” 😁

    Really enjoyed your video, I swapped my 71 from a 3 on the tree to a 700r4 this last winter and it’s so much nicer to drive. For my converter lock up I visited my local U pull it wrecking yard and removed the factory lock up set up from a 83 and used the brake light switch as well this allowed me to let the system work as it would in my truck, I did however install a switch to shut it off when putting in town but otherwise I have lockup in 3rd and 4th gear. For my transmission lines I used a set for a 72 chevell worked like a charm, no bending required. Again great video thanks for posting it.

    The second line is a return to the fuel tank to prevent vapor lock. It lets a small amount of fuel return through a .060 restriction, just enough to keep the gas from boiling on hot days.

    Excellent work. I watched your first video earlier this week and was disappointed that part 2 wasn't available to watch. But I was excited when I saw it posted this afternoon. I'm likely going to put a 700R4 in my '72 C10 so I'm very thankful that you detailed everything so well from start to finish. I'm curious how GM handled the TV cable and TC lockup on the squarebody trucks that got the 700R4 in the 80s. Is there a reason why it's not possible to adapt that particular setup? Thanks again for making these two videos!

  • @MurfJunction
    @MurfJunction2 ай бұрын

    Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it, and hope it will make your conversion go smoothly. As far as the TV cable connection, I did consider looking for a GM bracket, and use an OE cable, but the Lokar setup is so adjustable for both the throttle and TV cables, it's my preference. I showed my TC lock solution to my transmission builder, and his comment was that it is similar to what GM did, but they also have a speed sensor integrated to enable it. My interpretation is that it is so integrated, it's not a just module you can take out. Good luck with your project.

I plan on removing the dash cluster and replacing the lens and circuit boards. I also want to replace the incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs like you did on yours. Where did you purchase your LED bulbs? I haven't been able to find any....Ken

I want to take mine back apart and paint the indicators on the other gauges now. I just have to get the orange reflective paint, and it's not cheap. Anyway, I found the dash bulbs I used on Amazon. I have tried a couple different kinds, but these seem to work the best of what I've tried so far.

    Thanks for this video, very pertinent information. I am planning to do the exact swap on my 72 Cheyenne. Did the swap from a pulse sending unit to a gear driven speedometer come as a kit or did you purchase the components separately ? If a kit, where did you purchase from ? What information did you need to determine correct gears, reared ratio, tire size, or ? Thank you very much in advance

    @genequesinberry5933 Thanks for watching the video. To address your questions; I didn't get a kit, but that is not to say they aren't available. I got the speedometer parts on Amazon, from the "LA Speedometer Gear" store. All of the parts I have gotten from them have been perfect fit and cannot distinguish them from original GM. As for knowing what gears to get, I use a gear calculator on a transmission parts web site. This is also a great place to get parts, but I get the free shipping on Amazon. transmissioncenter.net/shop/speedometer-gear-calculator/

I'm looking forward to the Part 2 video as the PO mickey moused a bunch of stuff and I don't think the trans is set up right. I think I blew the trans yesterday so I'm looking at a rebuild and then getting it set up correctly. I don't think the lock up was ever set up on it.

My plan for part 2, is to cover how I setup the TV cable. I've setup 2 other 700R4's, but the guy who rebuilt the transmission has given me some new advice on the setup. I will also cover the way I engage/disengage the torque converter lockup.
