Finished the 6.0 LS swap into my 1958 6100, you can see it running here:

1958 Chevy Truck LS Swap Running
I need to re-do the brakes now, it stopped when I got it but now the master cylinder was dry and when filling it the fluid stays in the cylinder and doesn’t drain to the lines.

Does anyone have the part numbers for the 2 ton truck brakes? I also have single piece budd wheels that I will put on, will 10.00 x 22.5 tires fit or do I need 9.00 x 22.5?

Theres another gentleman here that went with 10r22.5 wheels & tires. Little bit taller too for some extra overdrive. I am hoping 11r22.5s fit on these trucks. If love the 42" tire for even more overdrive goodluck!

I got original Budd wheels that are skinny, would 10r22.5 tires rub on the back? I should be good with the overdrive on the 4L80E transmission but more tire wouldn't hurt.

The max size tires for the 6000 Series TF trucks is 10-22.5 (9.00-20"). If you try to run anything bigger the rear duals might touch each other and any bigger on the front and they will hit the fender on hard turns.

Also, your engine start link didn't work for me frown
