Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
I'm not worried about the baffles. I have two new 87 tanks, two new 87 senders with new high pressure pumps, new high press. switching valve, etc. My only concern was how to wire the pumps to switch on and off with the position of the switching valve and only use one fuel pump relay. I guess I just need to find someone parting out a 87 that had dual tanks and get the wiring. Well, off to post in the classifides.

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
The little man decided he wanted to work on "daddy's" truck so as any good father would say, heck yeah, so the engine and trans are now back in the chassis permanantly. The tanks are next with the wiring for the fuel system and then the cab goes back home for good!

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
It's a simple piece of 2x2 square tubing 1/4 wall thickness. Definately not going anywhere! Very simple and cost effective too!

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Looks great! It looks like your boy has square body fever too. Hey, what kind of tires are you running? I need a new set for my TBSS and I like the tread pattern on those.

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Thanks, I'll see if I can get those at work tomorrow. What size are you running on your 86? I may need some for it too.

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Jeramy, I am running 295/40r20 on the rear and 255/40r20 in the front. Jonboy, I am running 3.42 gears for now but I am thinking I would like to find a rear already set up with 3.73 gears instead.

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
OK guys, harness is on! It took some time but I was able to route everything so even with the engine covers off all you can really see is the white connector for the coils. There is about 4 feet of harness off the back of the passenger side cylinder head so the ECU will definately go in the cab out of sight! The blaster called today to let me know my tank brackets are blasted and powder coated semi gloss black and ready to be picked up. I actually made a good connection with him and got them done for $60 total. He told me he would have done the chassis and control arms for $300. I wish I had of known this before I painted and reassembled the whole thing. O well. I have to remember this is just a decent driver...

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
I originally had wait4me do the harness but I was VERY unhappy with it and sold it. I used the guys at lt1conversion.com for the harness. It is absolutely perfect and I couldnt be happier with it. I need to get the coolant temp sensor adapter now but I hear the aftermarket ones from Autometer are kinda poor quality. I just dont feel so good about drilling into my cylinder head for the temp sensor. Getting close now!

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
I'm working on it. Hard to do though when you are trying to keep it fairly stock looking. That and Dennis' attention to detail is amazing.

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
My thoughts exactly. A decent driver. LMAO I am glad I don't live anywhere near you cuz I would have had my cab off the frame too!!! I just fixed a few cab imperfections last weekend now ready for floor paint. Looks good. I am gonna give lt1swap.com a call.
