NightFury - 1982 Silverado Build
« on: March 30, 2022, 11:04:40 am »
Hello all! I have been a long time creeper of this site. Got my account and thought Id share my build from the last couple of years. Back story, I had this truck when I was 15 and bought it from mowing lawns. I took my wife to prom in it, (I asked her to be my girlfriend with that dollar, she was a car hop at sonic :) )learned everything I could with my old man about drivetrains, and sold it to go to college. A few years in my job I found it and bought it back! I decided to build it like my 16 year old self would have. I have a small shop in Oologah, which gave birth to my part time business. Ill try to document it from here out better. This pickup went through the Moore OK tornado before I bought it back.

The NightFury has a protouring feel which may not be everyone's cup of tea, its inspired by dreamworks... HTTYD :D

Clean up and finalized prototype chassis suspension, the front is all bolt on. Ceramic coated. LQ4 installed mocked up. This took a few times to get right  ;D

The most current pictures as of last week.. the S480 BW Turbo and hot side, I made a hot side and the hood wouldnt close haha. so this is the next iteration... very tight! Also first picture is coil brackets as well, I made some quick ones with the table and had them coated, they look good to me! I will be updating hopefully once every two weeks as the build progresses. Thanks!!

Thanks everyone for the nice words! It has truly been awesome to get to do all this. I’m currently working in the cold side and then I need to wire and fire. Here is a update for the turbo oil lines, fuel lines, and the power steering hydro boost lines. I didn’t like them much but they are growing on me!
