Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
So that whole fitech idea didnt work out... Cause i got ANOTHER truck! Saw a deal on craigslist i just couldnt pass up. Picked this truck up for $1000! Previous owner says the truck wont run. Says he pulled the engine out of a running and driving truck, put it in this one, and now it wont run. Says it back fires out the carb. Shouldnt be a big fix. I'll get back to the injection when funds recoup a little!

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
If the number one plug wire is the front passenger side in your picture then the firing order is screwed up.
18436572 clockwise around from number 1. Or number 1 is not set right on TDC. My be 180 out. All easy fixes. |

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Great find! I've always liked one ton dually regular cabs. Time to update the signature and start a build thread. Glad I'm not the only one with that problem...

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Looking at the plug wire pic definitely makes it look messed up. Ad soon as I can I'll check it out. I had to stash it at my parents property until I'm done with the renovations on my house...

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
I enlarged the picture as much as I could and it looks like just a couple wires on the cap look questionable.
Usually backfiring through the carb is crossed wires, 180 out, or too much advance. Good luck, nice looking truck, great tower for sure. I'm guessing a Turbo 400 and a 205 Tcase. |

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Wow great score! Anything like that in this part of the world would be rusted out and used up. I'll be looking forward to the build on this one. +1 on the suggestions about backfiring through the carb.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Great score on that truck. Simple fix on the backfiring issue. Put on a new vinyl seat cover, grill and bumper, and a bit of cleaning/detailing and you got a nice truck!

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Thanks guys! It will be a couple weeks yet before I can get to it to see about getting it running but I really don't think it will be a big deal. It sounds fine when it's turning over so I don't think it jumped time or anything. I think just the distributor is not in right and or the firing order is messed up. We'll see.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Oh and it's a th400 203 combo. So less than ideal but I'll take it. The 203 has a part time kit in it.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Sweet score on that dually! That is a steal! Where'd you get your trim from? It is looking good from here!

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Thanks! Trim came from classic parts. I'm way too excited about getting it on the truck! Too bad I have to paint it all yellow before it can go on

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Did you get the stick on trim clips? This is what I'm leaning towards on my 76 so I don't have to drill holes in my nos fenders and doors.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Have you considered getting a roll of yellow/gold pinstripe to trim out the, uh, trim? Member tobytuttles did this to a Blazer of his a few years back, made it look easy.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
I haven't. That would be slick! But I wonder if I can find a close enough color.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
I found what I think he used. I'm going to order it and give it a try.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Got the pinstripe! Works perfectly! Thanks for the tip! I plastered it all over Facebook to spread the word!

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Very cool. So you'll have trim on and be racking up miles by this weekend right?
