Re: My new project 86 Silverado
Hope your machinist is faster than my machinist.
![]() I told mine I wasn't in a hurry. Then stopped and said to him. "Did I just tell my machinist I wasn't in a hurry?" "Lets forget I said that!" ![]()

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
hehe, yeah, but actually I prefer clear tequila... so any top shelf clear tequila is fine for me
![]() I'd rather spend time with my Dad for now(he's almost 80)... but he's going to keep me company this week while I do work on my truck here and there a little at a time. I hope he's here when I install the painless wiring harness LOL

Then I can switch to the Olds later and compare their drivability etc. on the street... It's going to be cool, and interesting to see it up and running

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
yeah, all ok... we were on our way going fly fishing for trout, and I was distracted for a second or two, and a string of cars slammed on their brakes because the first car in the line slammed on brakes to whip into the barbecue shack LOL, and it was a classic rear end crash hehehe, oh well... anyone want a 2001 Nissan Frontier, slightly smashed? LOL

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
I got a parking brake kit from LMC, and they don't look anything like what is on my truck... I ordered the part numbers listed for my year, so I don't think I messed up the order on my side...
Anyone know of another place I can get a quality parking brake cable kit complete front to back?

Re: My new project 86 Silverado

I recently did the parking brake on mine. The factory cable was in three sections (front, middle and rear). The replacement I bought at O'Rielly's took the place of the front and middle sections. I thought I had the wrong cable at first, but I put it in and works fine. There is a different part number for long vs. short bed. Posted via Mobile Device |

would like the proper sequence of installation, I didn't have any square washers when I diss-assembled my truck...
Any ideas appreciated
