Re: Another one underway! Meet project Savannah
I'm still around, just trying to get my kitchen project wrapped up. I'll be hitting this one hard very soon.
Big static drop, 4 wheel disc, nasty 6.0 / 4L80, new paint, finish up the fleet bed, wood kit, etc. It will make a very nice truck. Stay tuned, more coming as soon as I can.

Re: Another one underway! Meet project Savannah
Yeah, 2004 6.0 / 4L80, harness, ecm, etc. But I had to drive to Richmond to get it. 42k mile setup. I'll be doing a cam / top end upgrade, 243s, tbss intake. Headers, etc. Just a nasty but still steerable 6.0. Should be fun.

Re: Another one underway! Meet project Savannah
It's getting serious at the Coley shop!
Chad has sparks flying and C-Notches are going in. We will be adding BellTech 5" springs, shocks, Adjustable Track Bar, Shock Relocaters, Rear Disc Brakes with drilled and slotted rotors. When we get the rear suspension all buttoned up we are dropping in the Boyd Welding EFI gas tank. Did I say that we hate rivets? POP

Re: Another one underway! Meet project Savannah
A little progress today... we finished installing the rear disc brakes and got the shocks and springs bolted up. We are still waiting on the track bar and degree shims. We will be bending up some brake lines and adding some differential oil to the rear end.
The two 20" x 10" US Mags will go on tomorrow, then we can move to the front of the truck. Exciting stuff!

Re: Another one underway! Meet project Savannah
We bolted the US Mags on the rear after converting to five lug Moser Axles and rear disc brakes.The tires are 295/45r/20 and really will stuff up under the wheel wells.
Next on our list, Boyd Welding EFI gas tank, POP

Re: Another one underway! Meet project Savannah

Rear disc conversion is the Eldorado setup from Little Shop MFG, I just upgraded it to drilled and vented rotors. Rear sway bar, track bar, and pinion shims are on the way. I'm ready to tear into the front. I'm going to rebuild the control arm bushings, tie rod ends, all new ball joints, etc. The fronts will be 20x8, 255/45. Well post up some pictures once we dig into it. It's just rolling around on the 6 lug setup for now. Those wheels and tires will be for sale very soon if you know someone who might be able to use them. I think they're 16x8. Mickey Thompson wheels. They'd be good for a daily driver. The tires are Toyo Proxes, like new. I will trade for LS or C10 parts too. Just lemme know..

Re: Another one underway! Meet project Savannah
Beautiful day in Tennessee today, so we pulled the rebuilt original 250 6 cylinder engine and 3 speed transmission out of the truck.
We degreased the firewall and frame rails and brought out the pressure washer to clean away 55 years of South Georgia sand. Next step is to drop the front and install the huge drilled and slotted front rotors and calipers. We will have a truck load of parts ready for the media blaster by the end of the week. The exciting part is dropping in that big ole 6.0 LS. Stay tuned! POP

Are the later model Silverados 6 lug pattern the same as the early c10 ? Those front tires and wheels (I have all 4. Mickey Thompson Classic wheels) will be for sale soon. I just thought maybe someone with a 6 lug daily might like to have them. They have new Toyo Proxes tires on them. 16x8 I believe.

Re: Another one underway! Meet project Savannah
There are a lot of early and late model Chevy trucks that could use those wheels. The wheels are 6 lug - 5.5 inch (6 lug - 139.7 mm).

Re: Another one underway! Meet project Savannah
We pulled the transmission today on the 6.0, and got it on the engine stand. Then we removed the exhaust manifolds, coil packs and front engine accessory drive. The starter and A/C compressor was removed as well as the torque converter and flex plate.
To be continued... POP

We started disassembly on the 6.0L today and were able to freshen up the power steering pump and bracket.

Re: Another one underway! Meet project Savannah
A little more progress this week. We started detailing the front suspension and added the Big Brake Kit from the The Little Shop in Lewisburg, TN. It includes drilled and slotted rotors, bearings, calipers and McGaughy drop spindles. Quality stuff and awesome customer service.
We restored the heater box and blower motor just in case we use it. Vintage Air might be in the future, so we might not use it. POP

Re: Another one underway! Meet project Savannah
Just some more pics. As we tear into the cab, air box, etc we just keep finding more evidence of how good this old truck really is. It's coming apart relatively easy. I think it was just a plane Jane old farm truck that rarely ever got any use. 53yrs in South Georgia saved this one for sure. I've had a bunch of these old 67-72 and I can honestly say it's the most solid one I've ever seen. Original rocker, cab corner, I even have the original title and sales paperwork.

Re: Another one underway! Meet project Savannah
I guess that Med blue (?) Was the original color.
One of the cleanest old 67s you'll find. It should make a really nice truck once it's done. I'm going to try to do LS fest, Hot Rod Power tour, etc in this one. It will definitely be driven.
