Well when you do a flip kit it's hard to notice unless you look really close but the back rear wheels some how go back a little bit further, and a lot of people have to get shorter ones in order to make it sit in the middle. Sounds pretty sweet man!!! I'm about to post my productive day on my page so gotta go check it out show it some love lol

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

I got the pictures of the computer and computer hold down for under the hood, i didnt get to grab much from the van like the ABS cause that would have been a task plus more time.. Ill stick with regular disk brakes. I also bought a bunch of butt connectors, and vacuum line since im doing this one wire at a time. Not intill i have my fuse box and pigtails for the computer will i be doing anything with wiring...

nice!!!! looking better and better man! I put a tach on mine last night, I'll most likely have the pictures uploaded on friday along with saturday should have some pictures of the beast all back together and what not.

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

thats good let us know what all you gott going on... i havent been on because alot has been happening like eye doctor appointments and such. ill post the pictures of the engine and trans
i have them side by side in the back of my truck. if you get the 4L90E what does it come out of?

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

I believe the zr1 has it, my co worker told me about it. It's pretty much the stronger tranny that gm makes.

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

thats good. hopefully you can grab the computer for it.. at least i think it takes a computer to operate

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

on another note id like to say with full confidence my eye is healing good and i shall beable to see with out these stictes in my eye.

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

Yeah I think thats how its ran but a lot will depend on how much power I end up wanting, if I just want 500ish I'll stick with a 4l80E, but if i want BIG power 90E is what i'm going to go with lol

Man you must be able to read my mind i was just about to ask how you eye is doing.

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'

Nice nice, they look like a match made in heaven haha

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

lol yea, there is a few things that bug me. the transmission doesnt have a kick down so i believe the computer controls that. well i hope to have them both in the truck by spring time. the original doors are still in the back because i dont have a vin plate on the dash. its a sticker on my door...

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

ahh!!! well good luck on it man, hope your able to get the transplate done soon, just dont rush yourself remember that one step at a time. Remember babysteps

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

also havent been up to tearing out and putting in the passenger side door window into the new door. so im keeping that one around also. a bunch of junk laying around :smoke:

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

yeah, see it would be much better if we ALL lived in like a general neutral area we could always have work days help days and what not oh well part of life can't have everything you want, well unless your a millionaire then you might be able to achieve that pretty easy haha.

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

lol itd be great to have some helping hands, and to give a helping hand. I even like giving advise, my thought process is more of an idealist. more like a philosopher, open minded and pretty simple processes on how to fix this and how to fix that. i wont go into it. talking crazy now, were suppose to be talking bout trucks :smoke:

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

Hey our trucks are part of a life so go speak your mind bro!

Yeah it would be nice of course we all have our own 2 cents worth and so on and so forth but end of the day our way to connect is this board give each other advice help out so and so on.

Do we have any progress on the truck my good man?

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

Lets talk cars lol...I want this and im going to try to go look at her Sat and maybe the guy will take $2500 cash money

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

I got the other $500 saying he takes it hahaha! jk

Looks sweet!!! MY dream was a chevelle SS but most are restored and running for about 70k so yeah no fly with me haha. I'm thinking maybe if I can afford it later on in life and what not I want to restore a 1957 Bel-Air for my dad.

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

Ay long time no chat you guys miss me? :smoke: did you get the chevelle????
That sounds sweet i say go for it man the only thing i say about the 57s is no power steering other than that there beautiful and reliable

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

Haha everytime I would post something I was expecting to see your name pop up but nothing! Glad to know your still alive, glad to have you back for sure!

And well its 1 step at a time might want to finish my truck before I try and get another project lol but yeah if I got a 57, I would get it power steering somehow and I would throw a fat 572 in it now that would be one tricked out ride! Oh well my truck is going to be badass when it's done I have no doubt!

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

You should check out Howell Engine Development they made the harness for my 8.1 swap and reprogrammed the ecm for me and made life alot easier. www.Howellefi.com

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

yes im still alive and im sorry i havent been on it awhile just thought id take some time off the site to rethink some things. I havent drove her in awhile been awaiting this check im suppose to get but i guess ill get it may.
sure thing man, You done the vortec big block swap?? Thats the second time ive seen somebody dare do that with the 8.1 liter cause everyone thinks they suck gas. hell even everyone i know is driving a v6 cause they still think all V8s suck gas, but ill be the first to prove em other wise.

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

I also forgot to add.... since ive lowered it the dang steering and take off sucks. it really has me on the down but ill fix it. i believe ill need after market shocks for the front and it will take some for the rear. Ladder bars are going on my truck.

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
 

I may have missed it but I think you said you were going to make your own harness. If you need a harness I have a complete harness off my 2005 HD with 6.0 and 4l80e. It has the fuse box and all. It was in the truck I bought and gutted and it was running...I just went with a custom harness to make the wiring a little cleaner and save time.
