Re: My new project 86 Silverado
That rocks! have you gotten all this stuff through a vet group? How do they know who to help out? It's awesome that they help you where you want, instead of say, showing up with a hot tub or the like. I was in the Army for 22 years and where I retired there is VA hospital but not a lot of ways to help out deserving guys. Most of the guy guys I meet in my line of work claim to be, (disabled, sniper, killer ect..) but are full of S*^t.
It would be nice to find a group that would help out the ones who truly need it, and be able to figure out if they are full of crap or not. I guess you have a %100 disability rating?

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
You know speaking of vets I was watching something on tv last night and a vet started this group called P.O.W. and it was a way to help former vets adjust and get the anger and things out of there system it was a cool because it was open to all vets and there was a group of about 20 guys or so I just can't remember what the letters stood for, I just thought it was cool, and would share.
It's been an honor for me personally to watch you build your truck and get to know you to a certain level. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
Just spoke to Lars Grimsrud, the Quadrajet guru. I am shipping him my Quad for modification, rebuild, and tuning. I think it is the best deal out there from a master Quadrajet builder. Send him your core, 190 bucks later and you have a blueprinted carb, what else do I need to say? I'm excited to say the least!

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
waiting on parking brake cables so I can put the backing plates on my 9" and install the brakes and get the wheels back on it so I can roll it outside and start putting the body/bed back on it so I can paint... if the dang engine would hurry and get here...

All the other stuff is kinda easy, the brake/fuel line clips blah blah. then I have to torque nuts/bolts and the rolling chassis will be done! I can't wait. My cab/fenders are sanded and primed...then I need the bed sanded and prepped. already got all the lights. will be getting the front pieces soon. What bumpers do people recommend? any part numbers or pics? Once I get that stuff, maybe 2 weekends of turning wrenches and this thig will be ready to test drive... my deadline is September 5th, so I got's to work hard ![]() ![]()
