Old Yeller's new heart-5.3/4l60 swap! - Page 17 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

It was great to hang out with you guys last weekend. I could have sat there all weekend, if not for the girl folk that was with me.

**aotte1** · 01-24-2015, 10:02 AM

Really nice work, looks great!

Glad to hear that everybody is getting healthier!

Les

Low Elco · 01-25-2015, 11:23 AM

JB- anytime, really enjoyed it.

Les- thanks, he's moving slowly, but he's good.

In truck news, I put in a different drive shaft from a 98 silverado this weekend, and new u joints. Lots better. Was running 80+ down the interstate nicely. I think it's just tires now. Now to chase down some rattles In the door.

More info about the drive shaft? I have a little vibration in mine at 85-up. I was this 98 a direct swap? When I had mine built it was suppose to be balanced but not too sure about how well they got the job done.
Dang I hate the door rattles....

Congrats Chip on the new hardware

Low Elco · 02-17-2015, 01:59 PM

Mike, it came from a '98 scsb v6/auto. Yoke and all, $25. Kicker is, someone pulled the rearend, it was literally hanging there. Reached down and pulled it out. Took a hybrid u-joint that was in stock.

I have an update, but gotta do pics tonight after dinner.

Low Elco · 02-17-2015, 01:59 PM

Thanks Scott!

Low Elco · 03-02-2015, 12:38 AM

So, I've been needing to update. We did the World of wheels, so here we go.

Aaron got his Permit to drive. He drove home from the DMV in Big Black. 48 hours later, he drove me to Bartle to load in in Yeller. That was kinda neat.

We saw Eric and Vic and the lovely Miss Kathy, and our friend Jimmy, who had some cars in as well.

We get situated on Sat. and having a nice time and a guy comes by holding an award. "where'd you get that?" "They handed them out a while ago. You should go check, this is a nice truck." So we traipse off to see, and wait in a big line. They look us up, and damn if we didn't win first in class. We were shocked.

Then we had to leave, and it was snowing. So, we hit the road, and drove 'er home in the snow.

Just been working since, the weather's gone to crap.

Hope I can post some pics, we'll see.

I heard thru the grapevine you'd won your class but didn't want to post till you did. Congrats... Yeller looked great and you all deserved the award. Lotta hard work went into it.

Pretty scary! Glad that Vern and Tilly (his dog) apparently escaped without major injuries. No doubt they'll be sore for awhile, though. We'll be pulling for them to recover quickly.

What a shame to lose Yeller, especially to a serial drunk driver.

Low Elco · 03-02-2015, 11:15 AM

Thanks guys. I've literally never won anything, so it was kinda neat. I think Boppa was in shock. Now it goes back to bein' a Lab Hauler!

Low Elco · 03-02-2015, 11:17 AM

Here's us heading home-

Turn the phone sideways next time so we don't have to look at those black bars on both sides of the screen!!!!!!!

Oh, yeah, Congrats on the win too!

Low Elco · 03-02-2015, 04:11 PM

Thanks Johnny!

Low Elco · 03-03-2015, 11:26 AM

Thanks! I was right off the square, hoping I wouldn't get run over!

stealth_weapons · 03-03-2015, 02:08 PM

Congrats. World of Wheels was a great show. lots of sweet trucks there. didn't know there were so many awesome truck in this area.

Low Elco · 03-04-2015, 11:29 AM

Thanks! We run a board sticker in the back window, next time you see us, stop and say hi!

LT7A · 01-21-2016, 01:09 AM

Checkin in here. Read all of both of these threads. Great truck and I had a good time reading along. Is LBT getting a little attention now?

Low Elco · 03-04-2016, 02:07 PM

Ha, I havent' checked in here in a minute! Lbt sits other than me driving it to work occasionally. It is hugely on my mind, though. If there's any interest, I may do a big update tonight. Thanks for the props!

aggie91 · 03-04-2016, 04:25 PM

Yep, we need updates...with pictures of cousre..,

jlsanborn · 03-05-2016, 02:53 AM

I'm down man!! I should be waking my thread up a little here soon with an update. Knuckles has been turning and burning too. We've got a sweet row of bikes going this year. And a GoPro!!!
