Anyways i'm waiting on getting the fuel lines and such.. i don't know if ill get the shifter, looks like he's sell his truck now and gave up on it... its that s10 i put my old 350 in.. all he needs is some intake gaskets... Even if i had a budget id never think about selling my truck.. I'm way to stubourn to give up on something ive been wanting to do since i was 15 16 years old. been an Honor doing this build. im happy i even have it sitting there non running!

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
Well everyone i knew the driveshaft wouldnt need any sort of mods like resizing or anything so i stuck the thing in and bolted the rear u joint up. it fits like a glove... now the real problem is, the trans crossmember

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
Ok tomorrow i will have some parts. maybe grab a used alternator power steering bracket or fuel lines. debating on which...
Also making plans and a idea of how im gonna paint the truck. gonna go with something different... paint it all satin black.. get a natural aluminum spray look alike and get rid of the chrome.. do some air brushing as well in aluminum looks. the wheels will be natural aluminum also.. plan on making it 17X10 wheels in the rear and 17x8 front.. i dont know what kinda tires but i plan on something thats wide. if i ever do the steelies, ill probably paint them. still debating on that.. i have all these ideas, but no $$ to do anything yet... I still havent figured out what im gonna do for the cross member, thats bothering me. hopefully i can buy a weld together one and fab my own to my desires.

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
well i have a fuel pump for it.. instead of the buick tank i decided to go with an 89 f150 ford EFI frame pump so i can keep the stock tank.. and i dont have to do much for a return line. got the pump from autozone...

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
Sounds like you've been busy man!!
On the bed, I would say if it's terribly bad then go for it get a newer one but if it's holding it's end right now just hold off on it.

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
Oh yea been real busy lol.. working on my uncles used but new to him 94 caprice station wagon with the LT1 350 (second gen small block chevy). took apart his optispark distributor and it was full of oil.. it also over heated, because the fan relays went out.. dont know if its been like this since the owner before had it or what.. but thats coming together. looking to get the alternator for the truck, going to get the larger alternator, CS144 130 amp rather then the simple CS130 100 amp... well lets hope it all works nicely.

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'
No.. it sucks. i aint got the welder i need to put the trans member together and i Still gotta get that dreaded powersteering alternator bracket... and then i gotta get an on frame fuel filter. i guess you can say patience is the key.. sorry guys but the truck wont be working this month.

I've been wanting to do a lot of stuff to my truck but money hasn't been there with bills and other stuff so just being patient and having to understand there's going to be ups and downs on a truck build. You'll get it man and when you do it'll make it that much better!
