Installing an LS in a 1959 GMC pickup 

Still amazes me when you look at a fuse box and understand it lol.

Starting @ 14:20, watching Brent drop that motor in by himself has got to be one of the most amazing things I've ever seen!

Brent, You def. have a lot of skills and energy.

I've always loved 40s and 50s pickup trucks. I have absolutely no use for it, but I still want one! One day!

This is the best that RU-vid has to offer, you amaze me with your diverse knowledge, and problem solving skills

44:32 and that damned dog actually looked at the camera and winked. WTF???? LOL. Pablo, you amaze me. A very nice job of making it fit Brent.

Damn bro , you're like Dr. Frankenstein bringing these cars & trucks alive !!! Great work !!!! 👍👍

Absolutely love the way you build things with what you have in the shop or the yard

Step 1 to install the LS: Swig down a can of Coors. 2. Pet Pablo. 3. Swig down another can of Coors, load Pablo in the General and call it a night.🤪🍺😀

I know you find the LS installs Oh Hum but it is pretty doggone cool to watch. You do a great job and know all issues that pop up and work arounds flow out of your brain. Its great. I remember getting a pin hole in my 64 Corvette and having a hard time to find anyone able and willing to weld it. II found one guy. But I was told to pretend I didn't think he could do it. That way he would take the job on to prove to me he could. It worked! he did and so did the patch on that Aluminum Rad. Amazing stuff Brent Thank You for sharing, LS is a great project the way you do it.

You're on to another one and I'm still trying to make enough room in my garage to get started back on mine.

Best era of chevrolet trucks, adding reliability and functionality is a no brainier. Great work!!

My favorite body style of GM trucks, I like the Chevy big window best but any 58 or 59 is by far my favorite. If I had one I would also want an LS with fuel injection because I would want to daily drive it. Too bad but my back won't let me sit in a standard cab truck. I am too tall and can't get the seat forward enough to tilt the seat back and relieve the stress on my back. I admire the man's taste in vehicles.

Amazing. Glad to know that there are people who can figure out all this stuff when upgrading the engine in an earlier vehicle!

Sweet tip on using your ball joint tool on your drive shaft U-joint that worked great I've had one of those ball joint tools never thought of using it for U-joints I've always just use my vise

Mr Doitall. Amazes me to see you figure out EVERYTHING to do a motor swap. Including the electronics which is routine to you. I'm old and only did swaps when it all was analog and strictly one each for hook ups and very minimal at that. I'm lost on new stuff. Fun to watch you work. Thanks for the show, and Hi to Pablo. 👍😎🤔🕵🏾‍♂️🍺🎵🎸🍺👽

You make this look so easy, which I know that it is not easy, but i wish I had your knowledge and skills for just a part of what I have seen you do. Great video can hardly wait to see what is next.

You just make it look to easy. Pablo looks like he's enjoying the ride. The general wouldn't look right without him in it. I always say it but love Pablo.hes a beautiful dog

Great job as always and I learned something today and I just wanted to thank you for sharing your skills and experience with all of us , I could watch your channel all day long I loved it when it was every day, keep up the great work God Bless you and your family

Always amazed watching you work away on whose trucks! Been waiting for your video today!! See you on the next one!!!

Man you make it look like it's just another day at the shop "so it is so it was " later.

Hi Halfass from here in the D Michigan, I am enjoying watching your build, now I have some insight on a LS installation Thanks 👍🤝😁😎❤🤩

Everyone likes a ride in the General. Man and mans best friend. Enjoy

You got away without doing any driveshaft work. That's another win.

I love the beginning of this video. I love your dog! Such a big star. Lol! I love both those trucks! I Love your videos sir. Thankyou!

Thanks for sharing, Brent! That's a great-looking truck, and your swap is going to make it a real treasure to own! I love "old-school" because that's how I grew up, but the advances in technology are making today's builds more reliable than ever! Keep providing your knowledge, we'll absorb as much as possible! Be safe! Pablo: Good Boy!

As always a good video, a good job and .... a lot of patience and technical knowledge to understand something in all those electrical wires, control units etc. Just looking at that electrical system gave me a headache! 🙃😂

So interested in watching your videos I learned so much I'm a bit of a fabricator myself so I'm always open for learning something new and you sure show it really good thank you. 👍👍😀

I love this truck, and your skill level still just boggles my mind! I would be on the floor, in a fetal position, crying like a little girl! Lol! Tony.

Pablo does what our St. Bernard mix Tippy used to do when we took him for a drive. Sit on the back seat and rest his head on the arm rest between the seats. Great work on the swap. Always a bonus when something fits nicely the first time without a lot of messing around. Stay safe and stay well.

dude, that is a real sweet ride. hell had a 57 that was a great truck. wish I still had it.

Good job Brent, the best part was Pablo at the end. Love that dog!

that worked pretty good ...never tig welded before ..learned how to braze weld when i was in my early teens.. now mostly mig and stick ... from what i see tig welding is a little bit like brazing

Another awesome video thanks now time for a cold snack this BUDS for you cheers

Your fabrication is so awesome. And really is starting to take shape. Thank you for sharing!

That LS went in super easy, of course when you have the knowledge and tools it helps. Damn i need another shop!

That's cool first time I ever saw a tool to take out u joints and then you tell us it's a balljoint tool blew my mind you had me thinking that they finally came out with a tool for it you should change it up and come out with the u joint tool I love that whatf ever problem arises to think about it and take care of it good back ground tunes

Had a choice today of who to watch first, Brent or Knuckledragging Dan ( haha ) over at DD Speed Shop. I think watching you fiirst is a good choice. Nice build, you have some nice tin roll thru your garage and they are fortunate to find you! Now on to Dan's Garage!🤣🤣

That "portable" flaring tool you have is really handy.

Great job. Clever solutions to the popup problems.

Nice; a powered engine hoist. I was looking for a shoe horn for you to help get that engine in the truck. lol I find it amazing how you can work through that fuse box to fit your needs. Good Video

We always look forward to your videos. Makes my coffee even better..

Great video Brent.Easy LS swap there.

Umakees are my favorite type of motor mounts!😜

I shoved 454 in to my 66 chevy Drove it all the time when it was small block, Fitting BB was a mistake DID NOT DRIVE AS MUCH, Great vid..

Love the 59 models keep up the good work Sir‼️❤️❤️🤠

Knowledge, skill, talent and more! Brent, you have it all!!!! I re-watch your videos and I see them when I sleep and even then,,,,,, I ask,,,,,,,, how does he do it all???

You are the one that whats know whats he is doing , awesome / regards from Norway , love your videos .

*- I enjoy seeing all of this is so easy for you because of experience and your smarts.* *- It would be overwhelming for me.*

All I can say buddy......never a dull moment..... We dream about doing this stuff, its not until it done in your present that we become a believer.

Hey Brett, What a beautiful ole GMC. I really love whats been done to it. The LS will really make this a great daily driver, wish it was mine. lol It doesn't take you long to convert it over. Good job buddy. Later

Such a nice car. I really love that model. Think about modifying one like that to a cabin and a half. Cut the flap in line with the rear fenders.

Wow i wish i was half as smart as this man and that's no joke

You make it look easy I'm still on the mud on the tires ,nice work

Another very happy customer soon, thanks to Halfass Kustoms people. 😎👍🇨🇦

Saweeeeeet!! Great work as usual Brent!

What a sweet little truck .... you have the magic touch

Boy your moving fast on this one. The LS will be a great engine for that truck. Great video.

I love this truck I know with your great talent this will be one happy customer it's going well so far

Люблю старые автомобили умели раньше делать не то что сейчас .Смотрю Ваши видео и как будто переносишься совсем в другое измерение мне очень нравится то что Вы делаете это прекрасно возвращать старые автомобили в жизнь удачи Вам в Вашем труде оживляйте по больше у Вас просто охренеть как получается

Really like the truck. I don't have a LS in my 67 c10. Might be the way to go. Nice to see your video.👍

Dude i love that you have the time lapses photography

Yeah,that is an awesome looking truck

It's coming along nicely. Another great video 👍👍🇨🇱

End of video I noticed that Pablo is General Pablo and you are his driver we know Pablo is the brains of your outfit 😉

Keeping it fresh and entertaining Brent 👍

Good work Brent!

Thanks for sharing your adventures! 🤗🤗👍👍

My goodness, you are so talented.....me on the other hand am true to my channel name. Looks great! Wish I had 1/2 the confidence that you do.

You’re ability’s astound!!! My dad could build anything and you give him a run for his money any day.

o yes i love your dogs have fun all the time thanks

That's a Beautiful Truck To Begin With, Can't Wait to See The Final. God Bless All.

Sweet ass truck!!! I wish I had your LS knowledge!!!

Amazing, you make it look so easy. Cheers

I have a 59 gmc too!!! Great work

I thought I was the only one that used my ball joint press on U- joints , I used it once in a video and had lots of comments and questions about it . Shawn

Nice 5.3 swap. Thanks for the great video. 👍👍✌

Nice job as always. I have always been scared to do an ls swap because of the wiring but watching you do it makes it look easy. I think I may actually give it a shot this summer. I have considered using the Holley setup to simplify everything but watching you use the factor harness and just trimming off the fat seems so much better then spending money that's I dont have to. As alway thanks for Sharing what you do Brent I personally really enjoy your channel! You should look into some Halfass Kustoms t-shirts and hoodies or even better some work shirts like dickies style button down shirts! That would be awesome! Just a though I no I would definitely buy a few! Thanks again Brent.

Good shit as usual, good no fuss halfass style, keep em coming, we love em!

thanks thats a nice gmc pickup you do a good show thanks a lot

You are a technical genius!

Love those Apache’s and the GMC truck

Cool job dude

Good work!

You make it look easy!

UPDATE: I was able to get it started again and when I got to about the 3 minute mark, I moved the cursor up to about 5 minutes and it worked fine after that but there was something hinky going on with that vid. Anyway, enjoyed it, like always. Keep up the good work. I will be watching.

Another good one brother !! Thank you 👍

keep the great work man

Nice job 👍

Looks great!

Great tip as usual 👍 nice job 🍺🍺

Nice work

Nice I watch you every morning Love ur job Moses from newzealand

Pablo, backseat driver. Electrical later, rad modified n set up back inside, driveshaft fit but motor mounts modified bit by bit, ls sitting where a big block was in a 59GMC a generational cus'n. Wiring harnessed in the weeds, minds gathered for a truck n some dog boys' needs.

Great job Brent pretty cool its a GMC .
