Went to LKQ and got all my needed hoses, ie, upper, lower and brake booster hose as well a belt, all of a '99 1500; for a whopping $8.

Finally got the beast started over the weekend. Once I figure out how to edit my video, i'll post it. Still have more to do, but that was exhilarating.

The C10's make doing a swap much easier than say an A-body. I don't care what anybody says.

'84 C10 Stock lines right into the ls pump friend. They are hacked up 98-02 f-body fans that a bud had on his S10/ls swap. For $40 it could not be beat.
