Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Yesterday I started a summer vacation, and we went to inspect (hope, this is correct word) the truck. It's been 12 years since last time. Now we have permission to drive by truck.
A few mistakes came to light as we drove the car on the road. The drive shaft keeps the sound and the engine is not adjusted correctly. The engine vibrates as it drives harder.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
We found out where the noise came from. Rear universal joint was bad. Now it's new and quiet.
Fuel injectors was also bad condition, but local diesel expert fix those fuel injectors. It was quite expensive, about $1000 (770€)!!! But now engine runs much better. We have to timing diesel injector pump yet.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
We have been on vacation and a lot has not happened. We have been driving a little bit truck and enjoying the summer! But a few photos from last few weeks.
1. Pic; We had two bad tailgate bands and the other one has now been repaired. 2, 3. Pic; Tailgate band in place. 4. Pic; We ordered new smaller license plates. Our cousin designed and ordered the license plate frames, hopefully we will get them soon. 5. Pic; My brother, his wife and boy on the road! ![]()

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Now we have new license plate frames. Maybe black text and gold emblems is better?? Let see, if I modification them.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
I'll never get tired of seeing pictures of this truck. I'm almost sad to see it so close to getting done. Don't hit me, haha. It's not often that you get to see a restoration done so beautifully. I think your license plate frames look great, and if they were gold, or bolder, they would take attention away from the rest of the truck.
I saw the BMW off to the side in one of the other pictures. Neat little car! If that's your next project, would you consider putting it on the Forum here under "alternate tinkerings"? Or heck, you could even post about it on this thread. I'd like to see what you do on it. |

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
1, 2 pic.; My brother protected the truck from the rust.
3, 4 pic.; The interior is now almost complete. The middle safety belt must still be replaced.
