86 Silverado in the process
« on: June 27, 2011, 12:24:11 pm »






So far have rockers and cab corners in,  had to get another driver side fender. truck has 35s on it had to put smaller tires to get in shop.   will get pics of rockers and corners soon. truck should be ready for paint soon, still have to finish bed.  waitin on panels to come in.            Bought a complete running and driving 82 1/2ton 4x4 scottsdale the other day for 100 bucks. was gonna use bed then went to look at it and it wasnt any better, but price was good.  has new tires and runs good. tranny slips though,  so that will be my next project.      let me know what you all think.

As my 15 year old kid would say "that's in".  ;D

Keep going. We can never have too many square bodys in the Show-Me-State.  :)

Oh, BTW, is there a way that you could scale down the pics a little?

last night got front clip blocked and primered again,  gonna fix a few small spots we dont like, then wetsend the entire thing.  switched primers was using masterpro red oxide from oreillys. but my friend picked up two gallons of XIM from his work. the XIM comes thinned already, only thing is doesnt sand near as good as red oxide.  took twice as long to get stuff done the other day.  more pics coming soon.   thanks for the comments,

     You are correct, can always do with more square bodies on the road.

       I have to ask, (the one with his hand flat against the window) is he communicating with the truck ?  If only, the stories we could get told.

Lol no I was taking him to school and we were scrapin ice off window.    That truck would have slot of stories. It has had alot of owners and was mistreated it's probably sayin thank God lol.  383 is coming out soon though puttin together a 454. Motor in it now has less than 1000 miles but it was built for race and has alot put in it. Solid lifter cam not sure of specs cam range is 2800 7500. Icon pistons. Roller rockers with screw in studs and 882heads  202.160 Manley  valves  1182 crank procomp rods. Weiend7546 intake speed demon carb. But it's just too much for daily driver. And valves always need adjusted which gets old wouldnt be bad in a racecar  motor has alot of power im just lookin for lowend usuable powerGot it for sale
