Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Yes, putting the stock 86 grill back in it. I like them both but just want to put the stock front back on it for a while. Thanks for all the compliments guys!

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Chuck, the grill is yours. I will see you Sunday for sure. I get paid on Fridays so I am planning to order the body mount kit from LMC and maybe get the cab on it by next weekend? Just depends on there shipping times and when I get the fuel tank harness from BIGCHEVYMAN for the fuel tanks. We'll see. Hopefully soon though, ready to drive this thing.

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Cool I'm anxious to see it back together. It's gonna look slick. Very factory stock besides the wheels until you pop the hood. I like it

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Thanks man. I am hoping to have the fuel tank harness this weekend. If not it will be first of the week. My wife is going to Atl. to visit a friend for a few days so i am hoping to have the harness from BIGCHEVYMAN installed as well as the C-Notch and shackles from Bigarmzz and get the cab mounted this weekend or at the latest by Tuesday night. If I can get the cab mounted I will also get the bed back on and then finish the LS swap details and get the exhaust run before putting the clip back on. Man, after all this time it still seems like a long ways to go!

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Don't get discouraged buddy. Maybe I need to come up there one weekend and we can get aggravated together working on it. Everything will work out. It always does right? Now enough of the pep talk. What did you try to get done and couldn't get parts for. Did you get anything done to tell is about.
Seriously though I could come up there one weekend and help out |

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Man I didnt get crap done. Ordered the cab and core support mounts a while ago. Came in today and they arent even close. I got so pissed I threw them in the dumpster at work today. Then had to get them out so I could send them back.

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
I believe the wheels will stay for now. I wish I would have just put a big block and a turbo 400 in it. Dern thing would be done by now. I think just seeing it sitting there going together sooooo slowly is just starting to bother me. I bet I could sell the 6.0, 4l80e and harness and buy a 454/th400 pretty easily!

Josh, don't let it beat you. Besides, it can't possibly outsmart you, right?

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
I just need to stay focused. Although, I could have this running and driving in 2 weeks with a BBC.

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Definitely sit on it and come back to it later. When things are frustrating, it's always better for me to step back and walk away a d come back to it later. Things mst times seem to fall into place easily then

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
I know man. I would LOVE to have my 72 Super back. I hd ALOOOOOT of money tied up in that one. Well, against my better judgement I went out to work on the truck tonight. Glad I did. The parts people FINALLY got my
U-Bolts right so I got the 12 bolt rear axle installed I picked up from silvereagle07. (will paint when rebuild it even hough it looks good already) Leafs are painted and installed, shocks and wheels back on and rolling again. Glad to see it looking almost like a truck again. That damn cab is going on soon I swear! I know, pics or it didnt happen. ![]()
