Remember if all else fails read instructions, Top job
Before final mounting the steering column put your seat in that you are going to use. Measure from your belt buckle to the wheel in a couple places (like from the buckle to horn button). Measure from the top of your legs to the wheel in a couple places. Take those measurements to your favorite daily driver and see how they compare. Comfort when driving is everything. I have a similar brake system, my accordion rubber boot rubbed on the left diagonal brace so I cut it and put a bow in it and re welded it. Really nice build thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your suggestion that I compare it to my favorite daily Drive great idea I’m headed out to measure that
Really enjoying your videos and learning from them. Thank you very much
Thanks for joining us in our journey. Hopefully we can get some more work done on the truck. I’ve been a little busy with spring work, but I hope to get back to it.
Really enjoying this series, learning a lot for when I am ready to start my project. Please keep it going.
I should have the next video out soon. We kind of got really crazy at our house for a couple weeks and not able to work on the truck.
Yes clear coat that steering column. It's coming along nicely.
Thanks for coming along for the journey
Love your videos! Can’t wait to see it done.
Also like your stories. I think your an inspiration for people
I hope it keeps coming together
U got a lot done. Looks good O. ❤ the shop wish I had one like it Keep em going 👍
Thanks for the encouragement. Yeah it’s been a lot of years. I’ve dreamed of the shop, and it finally came to Pass.
I love old-school trucks, I just subscribed I’ll be following for more videos. I can see she is going to be beautiful when you get done I’ll be watching for
Thanks for following us along. I’m trying to figure out what to do for a paint booth right now and I’ll be getting a cab prepped and ready as soon as possible.
This really coming together nicely., ac-a must have. That steering wheel and column really looks great. Looks like the parts you're getting from suppliers are well designed for this model chev pu.
Yes, I’m kind of excited
I think it was Ed China that taught me the acronym RTFM. Its something about reading the manual. 😁, I'm really enjoying this build series. Keep up the great work bud!
Yeah, I’m terrible at looking at the instructions, but I have found these very valuable
Looking good nice video nice truck
Thanks 👍
I enjoy your channel and I watch Paul also.
You must be commenting on my Fab. Rats Hat yes, Paul is a good guy.
Your moving along at full speed! Love your Ididit column, steering wheel, and brake booster set up! Attention to detail! My E Z Chassis kit (C10/K10 chassis and 1955/1959 cab) , came with a weld-in firewall plate for the brake booster. Its to be used with a inexpensive S10 steering column. I like your Ididit steering column much better! Im not sure if the weld-in firewall support plate would even be necessasry with your Ididit column/brake booster, but it would provide a smooth look on the firewall. Also, If a brushed aluminum look is what your after for the column, I believe a simple coat of clear could be applied, to preserve the look of the column, and would look great! Cant wait for your next video! Keep up the great job!
Thanks for your suggestions and your encouragement. This has been a journey I wanted to do for a long time and I think the RUclips encouragements is going to help me finish it.
I like your channel and love the fab rats hat.
Fab rats inspire me to dig, and it’s just metal
😉👍 All l👀k N Nice! coming along!
I like the hat, 🤔 you know Paul should sell them like that, lol 😆... as many times as he has hit his head.
I like, steering wheel is a bit small but it works 👍, column looks nice too, but I'm afraid clear coat might not help protect it enough from rusting , so do your research... If you do decide to paint it I would say not black but whatever color the dash is. Have we ever decided a color??? I like red! 😁
Break pedal does look like an old starter button, maybe you should put a retro looking floor starter button back in, I do believe they make modern versions that are electrical, It definitely go, and be a bit extra security as nobody knows how to use those anymore lol... Of course I don't know how well it would work for you.
So I imagine this breaking system to delete in the ABS from the Tahoe, 🤔 How hard would it be to leave the ABS system with new master cylinder... would be nice If not too much extra work. I don't know about how much wiring in all that...
🤔 Did you ever figure out what you're doing with a gas tank fill? P.S. Recommend checking the evap lines/canister on it, blow while you got it all apart, as they always go bad...
Something to think about down the road maybe, If you're thinking about car shows and all that... of course it costs extra cash just for looks, but they do make some dress up kits for those LS to make them look more vintage style, Overpriced coil covers and intake swaps and all that.
Really like this build, You're doing everything right it looks like and unlike others just slapping stuff together and not showing all the issues and difficulties that go along with a project.
Thank you for your input and thoughts. I haven’t got all the details figured out on the tank and color and all those things but I’m sure it will come together. I do like the idea of painting, the steering column the same as the dash that would kind of blend in and look nice. Thank you for coming along with us on this journey.
Very informational build and easy to follow. Keep them coming too! Question could you possibly add links to the companies that you use , along with part numbers? For us that isn't computer savvy! Thank You very much.
Getting one thing at a time😆
Yeah, it’s a little slow but I will get there
FYI that chunk of brass is your proportioning brake valve . it should match your brakes .for instances disc up front and rear or disc up front and drums in rear.,it controls the amount of fluid to the rear or front . Also you will need to bench bleed your master cylinder, youtube has videos to learn about bench bleeding. N proportion valves.God bless yall real good.
Yes, thank you for the information. The proportion valve when I ordered the brake booster they ask if I had disk front and rear and you had to specify which type you had before you ordered so I’m sure it is calibrated for front and rear disc brakes. hopefully it’s adjustable if I need more front and less rear or vice versa.
Russ the switch on the end of the steering column is the neutral safety switch and the reverse light switch
Thank you I was kind of gas now, but I hadn’t thought it through yet
The 57 is looking good definitely making good progress on it I like the steering wheel👍. That is a proportioning valve but you still might need to run a adjustable one so your front to rear braking is proper. Also make sure the master cylinder will match the size needed for the Tahoe brakes. A lot depends on if your keeping the abs or bypassing it. I've been figuring things out for my 57 only I'm swapping my body onto a short bed square body and putting 1 tons under it with a little lift and 37's. Have you decided on color I liked that link to the napco you sent in a reply back in a few videos back that truck looked sharp.
When I purchased the kit from performance on mine, they asked the question if I had disc brakes, front and rear, or disc and drum so the valve is set up for disc brakes all the way around. I am not going to be able to use the ABS too much computer requirements with the new computer. I deleted that I will just have to remember how to drive.
If you want to clear coat your steering column I would use a product called shark hide. I have seen it used on brushed aluminum parts and it looks amazing. And protect against corrosion. Don't know if it will work on steel. But can always call company and find out. Coming together beautifully keep up the great work. One of my favorite year trucks. Not sure what your looking for out of that 5.3L for power but you might want to look into a Brain Tooley racing cam called Truck Norris. Will give it that old school muscle car sound and add about 75 hp and 75 lbs ft. Of torque. It will be a beast. I have 2 of his camshafts in my vehicles.
Remind me again, as I get down the road, if I get a chance to beat up the motor.
I seen Paul with fab rats when he had at Chad’s fab they were using the shark skin on all the bare metal of his truck, and it looked good.
Rustolium clear coat works great.
Good to know!
Bless Don’t paint the steering column. You’re headed in a nice direction using as many OEM parts as you can. Thanks 😊
Yeah, it looks like the consensus is leave it bare metal, but try to clearcoat it somehow
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🔥 awesome
Thanks for sticking around for the ride with us
Great video, love watching, would love information about the 57 for sale, thank you.
How do we make contact outside of RUclips so I can send you pictures and phone numbers. I haven’t done this before?
@@russellmcconahay7297 Hello sir, that's a good question, should I leave my email here in the comments?
The steering column looks great how it is. I wouldn't paint it.
I think we’re gonna go that way
use a bell crank for your throttle pedal easy way to change motion
The Bellcreek ideas rolling around in my head
👍😊
Thank you for watching
That going to be one classy truck ,love that steering wheel.what year is your daughters S10?
98
The steering wheel is gorgeous, but is the diameter too small to allow you to have an unobstructed view of the instrument panel? Nice work!
I need to check it out and take it for a test drive. That’s something I can always upgrade
Love your videos. I’m currently using a EZ Chassis kit on my 64 C-10. I’m currently working on brakes, just wanted to touch base and see if you’d had any issues pairing this booster with the Tahoe brakes? Does the ABS still work? Thanks!
I removed the ABS part it was not going to work. At least I didn’t figure out how to make it work so I’m going with just a proportioning valve front rear and I’m using a new brake booster. If you wanna call me, let me know and I’ll teach you my number.
Sure, that would be amazing. Thank you.
I understand your choice to ditch the ABS, but I am curious as to why did you decided to use a new brake booster setup vice the original Tahoe one?
They make a pedal kit that goes on the dash of the 57 and excepts that new booster. I have seen some people use the old booster but it’s all good plumbed and wired for the ABS and stuff.
Wondering if you’ll need to bypass the aftermarket proportioning valve and use the Tahoe items in order to retain the ABS?
I decided to ditch the ABS
Just to simplify things
Could you give me more info on what you did to bypass the abs
Measure your holes that you are going to weld up. Then contact someone like Send Cut Send give them the sizes plugs you need and then will cut them Send Send to you fast.
Any idea what it would cost to have one of the pieces cut out?
@@russellmcconahay7297 no sure dont
Yes you can clear
Thank you
I'm new here, but I'm already shouting at your for not seeing the obvious. The pedal, clearly, had to be to the right of the column. Then there is the weld seam.....
I had a little stupid moment there took me a minute to figure out what I was doing. Then I looked at the directions in laid it out clearly how about that
You know code 504 I think sells a kit to mount a 55-59 Chevy truck on a S10 frame I bet she would love that
I will have to look that up
I will have to look that up
Where are you putting the battery
I have the factory bracket and I believe it’s gonna fit right where it used to be on the factory location, right side, upper side of the firewall
I think you have the wrong bracket because that pedal is shaped like a Ford pedal not a GM. Good luck!
I’m gonna have to change that I don’t want any Ford stuff ha ha
Which Ididit did you end up going with?
I will have to pull the box down and see what it is. I think I got the steel one that has the column shift and tilt.
@@russellmcconahay7297 I was wondering based off the size options from the universal ones and the retrofit ones too. Going to be putting the cab on our project this week to measure but we’re doing the exact same project as you it seems
