Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Yesterday I went to the painter and the cabin looked like this. The next and last part is bed.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Today we turned the bed right way. Hope this was the last time. The underside of the bed is now painted. Great thanks to my friends and nephews who came to help because my brother and his wife and my dad and my mother are on vacation in Croatia. I have not been able to build a truck because I've been sick + my wife was surgery on Tuesday, so I'm trying to be assisting her.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Pictures 1 and 2:
We got the tailgate to fit in the bed surprisingly well. Picture 3: The second side of the lower arm bushes were problematic. The inside of the bushes was a bit too big. Hope to find the right size...

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
The truck is now fully painted. In the first picture the painter himself. Great thanks to the classic park and Jukka & Valtteri! Today we took the bed home.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Today we put the front axle in the frame. We also lifted the cabin over the frame.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
A little bit of sandblasted. There are still a lot of small parts remaining that need to sand blast.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
We started installing the soundproofing in the cabin. First, bitumen (black gold) and top it becomes other insulating material (silver).
