Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Got the cable yesterday Dennis. Thanks alot buddy! 1 million imaginary rep points to you my friend. I was able to use the plastic clip like I thought I would and everything worked out great. I now have the Lokar throttle cable hooked up and had enough time to get the Lokar shifter linkage installed as well. Just harness, fuel tanks, and driveshaft and it'll finally be on the road again.

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Turns out the driveshaft will fit perfect. 55 1/2 inches on the dot. Just as I measured. Talk about lucky. So, new u-joint for the rear and a conversion
u-joint in the front to hook up the huge yoke for the 4l80e and it'll be close to running again.

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
I bought the adapter plates from a guy on ebay too. Dennis, the driveshaft will be different lengths based on wether you originally had a turbo 350 short tailshaft, turbo 350 long tailshaft, turbo 400, 700r4, etc... Mine originally had a th350c with a long tailshaft if I remember corectly. I just got lucky I guess.

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Got the driveshaft in last night and it fit great. I used a conversion u-joint to fit the 4l80e yoke to the c10 driveshaft. Precision u-joint number 447. Could also be listed as R882328 if anyone else needs the joint. Also got the bed off so I can do the tanks and clean and paint the frame. Stepped inside to call a buddy to come help lift the bed and when I came back out I found my little man helping tear the truck apart.

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Not only is that a great pic of your little helper, but it's a great photograph. That's one to frame!
Did you get my PM about your phone message?

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Great pics of the little guy! I have to agree with Bob that I would have to frame either one of those.
The truck is going to be so cool!!! |

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Yeah, he's a blast. It was awesome because he grabbed a wrench out of the tool kit and it was too small so he kept getting different sized wrenches until he found the one that fit. It was awesome to watch his thought process. Thanks for the compliments guys.

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
This is really making me motivated to drop a 6.0l into my SWB. I will be seeking help in the near future for this cause gas is killing me at 9 gallons per mile .
I love what you have done though, looks good and keep at it!
