Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
I just read through this whole build. You are definitely doing some great work! I have sent some parts for these trucks over to Finland and Sweden over the years. I am always surprised that these trucks are over there. Keep up the good work!

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Thank you 1774btcrew! Do you have any parts in our truck? If you have parts for sale then I would be interested in it. We try to do as well as we know that you do not have to end up harming.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
I just got caught up on your build. You guys are doing a great job. Very thorough. You asked me if I knew a good source for the cab bolts. I'm sorry I don't. When I need bolts I try to match them from a local supplier with standard high-strength bolts. I would think that Brothers, LMC, goodmark, or people like that would have those cab bolts. You could also post in this forum for general questions. Also you asked for pictures that show the engine compartment and underneath the truck, the chassis. The best way to find pictures would be to search the internet. But I think that the people on here could answer any question you had about what colors should be used for engine area and chassis. There's a guy on here named Joe Yezzi (I can't remember his screen name) who does very detailed work that might give you some ideas.

The cab bolts was now done, but thanks for your information. I have tried to search the internet but I have not quite found the original photos from the truck. I have to try to ask again about this site. This guy who name is Joe Yezzi, is he here some car project what he has built, or how can I get him information about this truck? I would like the car to look like it would come from the factory ... ![]()

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Well done, you! Excellent work.

http://www.73-87.com/7387info/Assembly%20Line.htm Factory brochures can also be a good reference (although sometimes components are painted for the photo when they were not in production: http://www.lov2xlr8.no/gmc.html http://brochures.slosh.com/index.shtml?1986 I also have quite a few "before" pictures in my build/intro thread. They might be gone, now, because of the photobucket policy change. I used a lot more "attachments" from my computer drive and fewer and fewer photobucket pictures the father I went. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=342926 K

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Thank you so much Zachary17!
These pictures help a lot! Can you still put an image of this bed area? What kind of material is your truck seat? Can you take pictures of it too?

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Thank you very much Zachary17!
It seems like that the rear bed is wholly painted with primary color? Your truck seat look so awsome. We want the same upholstery in our truck.

The pattern was then masked/taped off and the primary color sprayed over the top of that. Removing the masking paper and tape then revealed the two tone. K

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
The cabin is now ready for the painters. Maybe next week we can get it painted. Bed is still work to be done before it can be painted.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
I picked up the rubbish from my own hydraulic press. It cost only 30€ (about 30$) because I had to bought new 12 ton hydraulic jack. We tried to change the upper control arms bushes and it work very well.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Today we took all other parts to the painters, except bed. Next, we have to do the bed ready for the painter. (And all small things)

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Pic 1. With these colors, the truck is going to be painted.
Pic 2. New exhaust pipe arrived Pic 3. The bed was turned around Pic 4. Some previous owner had welded a weird spot that had to be repaired. Pic 5. A few extra holes must be welded. Bigger dummies were also straightened.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Good progress Illka. I makes me mad when the previous owner does a bad job fixing something (like that patch). But it is a great feeling to fix it right.
