my 86 Silverado

[screamin86]

well last summer i bought this truck as a daily beater and just because i always loved those style trucks. When i got her it had a camper top aluminum running boards bug shield and only 82k on the clock with a tired 305 and swaped inth350 3.42 gears front and rear. well now ive removed the old man running boards topper and bug shield repainted the rallys black and now has a freshly built 350 with a summit racing th350 trans and 2800 stall. motor is nothing crazy 350 bored .040 slightly dished piston(guy who built it was gona boost it) i used 53cc heads and got the compresson up to around 9:4.1 and put in a eglin cam 214/224 112lsa and some longtubes. the carb still needs some work it keeps loading up. here are some pics and a video.

very clean truck

Thanks! the only bad places on the body are the cab corners and where holes were drilled on the bed rails for the topper and where it had a drop in liner at one time. A friend from work is gona weld in my cab corners and i plan to weld up all of the holes in the bed rails as well to clean it up a little then do over rail spray in liner and tonue cover after its painted.

well the snow is finaly melting (thank God) and i went out today and bolted up my transfer case mounted my crossmember front and rear driveshaft a/c compresor one trans cooler line and drug it with my yukon from the spot it had been sitting since september. it should take its first drive with its new motor and trans hopefully by wednesday! im excited. ive got a few loose ends to tie up though like bending the other cooler line and monting it the linkages need to replace a on u joint on the front ds and i have a bad plg wire causing some popping and backfireing. once its all squared away its off to the exhaust shop to put some good sounding pipes on her. sorry for the cellphone pics
