Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Can anyone help? Where do we find the original images of this age-old truck, which would show the colors of all the details? For example, the engine room, and under the truck. Is there any link anywhere from where to find original images? We are grateful from all the tips.

Well done, you! Excellent work.

They might be gone, now, because of the photobucket policy change. I used a lot more "attachments" from my computer drive and fewer and fewer photobucket pictures the father I went. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=342926 K

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Thank you so much Zachary17!
These pictures help a lot! Can you still put an image of this bed area? What kind of material is your truck seat? Can you take pictures of it too?

These were amazing pictures and information! I have many hours browsed all these pictures and information. I tried to open your build thread pictures but I did´t get open them. ![]() I found one of the original video from youtube but it does not appear to be a chassis of course. But thank you again for Keith and nice to note that here are such helpful people!

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Thank you moregrip! At first we didn´t plan to renovate this thoroughly, but we finally came to such a large renovation.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Today our painter brought a sample piece and I can't wait for the truck to be painted.
This primary color is light bronze metallic 63/WA7480 and secondary color is almond 59/WA7473 (I don't have a pictures from that)

We had to cut these open, because the previous owner had welded them. 4. Here are my little girls, whos want to help us... ![]() 5. This is pictures of me and my youngest girl, after we finished transportation support (wood and wheels)

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
I just read through this whole build. You are definitely doing some great work! I have sent some parts for these trucks over to Finland and Sweden over the years. I am always surprised that these trucks are over there. Keep up the good work!

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Thank you 1774btcrew! Do you have any parts in our truck? If you have parts for sale then I would be interested in it. We try to do as well as we know that you do not have to end up harming.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
I just got caught up on your build. You guys are doing a great job. Very thorough. You asked me if I knew a good source for the cab bolts. I'm sorry I don't. When I need bolts I try to match them from a local supplier with standard high-strength bolts. I would think that Brothers, LMC, goodmark, or people like that would have those cab bolts. You could also post in this forum for general questions. Also you asked for pictures that show the engine compartment and underneath the truck, the chassis. The best way to find pictures would be to search the internet. But I think that the people on here could answer any question you had about what colors should be used for engine area and chassis. There's a guy on here named Joe Yezzi (I can't remember his screen name) who does very detailed work that might give you some ideas.

The cab bolts was now done, but thanks for your information. I have tried to search the internet but I have not quite found the original photos from the truck. I have to try to ask again about this site. This guy who name is Joe Yezzi, is he here some car project what he has built, or how can I get him information about this truck? I would like the car to look like it would come from the factory ... ![]()

We bought a spare chassis. There was almost a new tank what we needed. Something else small things we also needed.
