Re: My new project 86 Silverado
Just wondering, had not seen you on here for awhile.
My truck is the same ol story. Just now settling on paint color chips. So hopefully they will get it all trimmed in so I can take the frame out and put the cab and bed back on. Then going to bring it home to do the interior and drivetrain before taking it back out for final paint. With the weather we have been having I am not rushing it. I have been trying to keep all of my trucks inside and if I bring this one home I am not sure if I will have enough room for all of them until nice weather comes back.

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
well i decided to not fill any of the small dings on my truck, i'm going to keep it just like i found it and keep the character of the truck... it had no body filler whatsoever... only a slight dent on the bottom of the front fender where the bumper got pushed back a bit on it... and a small dent on the back of the cab just to the right of the back window...
I sanded the crap out of it and removed all paint, and sprayed with black epoxy primer to fill all the small imperfections in the surface, but that is all the body work i'm doing other than spraying it with the flat black paint more to come when the temp gets above the 10 degrees it is now ![]() just a reminder here is how i got it... and the look i am going for, but flat black...

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
No sadly it wasn't mine. That picture was taken at my house after we finished it. I helped build it years ago. He sold it a few years back. What do you want to know about it? I think there is a thread about it somewhere with more pics.

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
didn't get a chance to go look at my buddy's truck, so i can figure out how the e-brake cables go over to the driver side to the equalizer...
been slacking a little i guess... not too motivated when the weather is cold... hurts my paratrooper bones LOL will be focusing on the under dash items for a while(brake pedal, e-brake etc), get that all cleaned up so i can epoxy prime them and get it all installed.... i need to work on my steering column too... need a new steering wheel... any suggestions? i'm going to need all new window motors, electric lock servo's etc. for the doors... rusted all to hell from sitting 14 years LOL. looks like another order to make ![]() GRRRRR... also one of my vent windows is broken and mangled, man i know those things are expensive, but i'll need it will update as i go along. i have all my lights, lenses etc. etc. i'll post pics of all that soon

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
We used an 81-82 front bumper and a sport rear bumper from LMC. The front grille is also an 81.
