Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Great! The engine started!!!

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
The truck looks really good and sits nicely. Congratulations on the motor start up. Sorry I can't help with the info you need on the air intake and hydroboost system. My truck had a 6.2 diesel but it was replaced with a gas 454 before I got it. It has hydroboost, but I haven't had to bleed it yet.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Some updating. Tailgate installed.
I had to modify the inner fenders. I had to drill a lot of new holes and weld the wrong holes. Really frustrating!! But fortunately my daughter helped me! ![]()

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
My what a build! I just went through the whole thing.....great motivation!!
You've really done an excellent job. Love the Crane lifting the engine out. There's something you don't see every day!

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
We washed the truck for the first time. We've been driving a bit, but something small stuff still needs to be fixed.
Last pictures, when my brother testing the first time after the restoration. ![]()

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Rear end looks like this. Only new seal and new oil.
The washer does not work, we have to fix it. Some meter lights does not work and we have to be fixed those.
