How do you keep your garage so organized? It seems like we get my buddy's barn organized and 2 days later we're searching for parts and tools again.

How close is your back bumper to the bed?

DELMO KAT! , YOU SHOULD BRING THAT TRUCK TO GOOD GUYS SCOTTSDALE IN NOVEMBER

83Silverado · 09-13-2010, 10:52 AM

I just came across this posting and WOW! I'm about to build mine very similar. Debating on the Porterbuilt or just Z'ng the frame. Also going with the smoothie wheels and caps myself. Gonna build it just as it sits now. But of course layed out ;-)
Very clean look!

Delmo · 09-13-2010, 11:04 AM

I'll look up that Scottsdale show, that would be a great shakedown run. I'm assuming it's not going to be 4000 degrees there in November? LOL

Silverado, beautiful truck man. Can't wait to see what ya do with it.

Creep, I'll measure that today for ya, it's pretty close.

83Silverado · 09-13-2010, 12:01 PM

Thanks Delmo! Wish I lived in Cali because I sure would get you to help me do my caps on my smoothies. I'd prolly get 'em on not totally center and they would wobble going down the street

Delmo · 09-14-2010, 09:02 PM

Na you can do it man, measure twice drill once. Build a perfect circle with a center punched center to put in the center of the wheel. Use this to scribe a small scrtach around the wheel with a compass.

Well I built some exhaust today and got the cab back on for the final time. Now I can start gettin this thing together. Hopefully have it runnin by the weekend.

Delmo · 09-14-2010, 09:04 PM

Fartin around with my Iphone.

bigguy69 · 09-14-2010, 09:24 PM

narx66gmc · 09-18-2010, 09:19 PM

i love the wheels! keep up the hard work and pics.

stepside83 · 09-18-2010, 10:01 PM

just read your post and wow this truck is sick, i love the wheel idea, and how low it sits when layed out, just an awesome build some day i hope to have my 83 done........some day

db65 · 09-20-2010, 01:01 AM

Love your build, look forward to seeing more progress. Question on the gas tank, I've heard they hang low do you have any clearance issues underneath? I've seen some guys say that you can see the tank from behind but that probably isn't a problem with how low you are. Thanks

norman martin jr. · 09-20-2010, 01:34 AM

Nice job on the wheels. Love it when a plan comes together and YOU have the only ones. Keep up the great work.

sams60gmc · 09-20-2010, 01:58 AM

I like the style you went with your motor. Mine will be very similar with vintage "script" valve covers, aswell as a breather style intake mani.

Delmo · 09-20-2010, 07:19 PM

Thank you very much guys for all your comments, means allot.

So..this was a 3 speed on the floor truck. I didn't want to change the column because I like the clean smooth original one. Filled the hole in the floor and can't stand after market floor shifters. So I was thinking of what would look good and not cheezy and came up with this. Don't laugh too hard, it actually works perfect. Perfect amount of travel and with the ratchet affect it won't accidentally go into reverse or park.
Hahaha anyway, wanted your guys opinion.

joe231 · 09-20-2010, 07:27 PM

That's cool, as long as you can mount a neutral safety switch on there somehow....
