Well that Benz color is pretty close to what I thought you wanted to do. I just was thinking a little darker.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
There are several very similar colors from the 60's & early 70's that Chevy had.
My 66 El Camino code N was Madeira Maroon and it was identical to that M-B color. http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorli...rolet-pg01.jpg My 70 Chevelle code 78 was Black Cherry and it was just a little darker than that. http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorli...rolet-pg01.jpg It is not as dark as the chip shows. Might be worth a look for you if you wanted it a little darker plus it would be a GM color on there too.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
I'd like to see that black cherry on something. Now that you mention it, my buddy that is doing my brakes right now has his Harley painted a black cherry color. I'll have to take a closer look at it when I go pick up the truck.
Thanks for the links!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
Holy crap I my brain is numb. I've read every post in this thread and even clicked on a couple of links in two days.
I have an '86 lwd 2wd that currently has a tired carbed 305 and a tired th350 trans. I am heading to Dallas tomorrow to pick up a 25,000 6.0 from a totalled 2005 3500. I am getting everything dbw, computer, complete harness all accesories, manifolds, y pipe, everything. A local trans is rebuilding my th350 to handle the 6.0 for $200.00 and some change. Thank you Bob and "Fred" for your inspiration. Should be a pretty straight forward swap. My biggest concern right now is motor mounts. What should I go with so I can just bolt the 6.0 to the trans in it's stock location. Sure I have left something out but again, thank you. Last edited by bigdnew; 03-03-2010 at 11:33 PM. |

Glock,
You may want to check this tread. He tried to use a stock 67-72 crossmember and it hit the cab floor.... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=389909

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
THAT'S the adapter plates I was originally looking for!!! He is who I got mine from, definitely a much better price. I guess it's been so long since I've used eBay, my searching skills are slipping.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
Well, Fred finally got new brakes on Wednesday. New shoes and pads, new drums, turned the rotors, and new front bearings and seals. Stops on a dime now, and I don't have that loud howl as I come to a stop. The rear drums had been machined waaaay beyond spec!! And the rotors were warped, so it tried to shake me to death on hard stops.
![]() I'm taking a couple friends to the last regular season hockey game here next Saturday, so I will be taking my wife's Trailblazer, and she is going to drive Fred to work that night. I told her no more than 3 burnouts are allowed! ![]()

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
Nope, I think I may have watched 1... maybe 2 Avs games ever. This is the Colorado Eagles, our CHL team here in town. My parents, my brother and sis-in-law, and my wife and I all go in together for season tickets. We've had them since the team was first organized.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
I just ordered enough stainless braided hose to replace the FI rubber hose that is currently running from the filter/regulator to the fuel rail, and to be able to reroute the trans cooler lines away from the block. The aluminum bracket that the AC compressor mounts to was pinching the steel lines the way they are currently routed.
I also have a new accumulator, and will pick up a new condenser shortly too. Once I have everything together, I can get the AC finished, replace the long fuel line, and relocate the 2 temp sensors. I also need to remove the heater box on the inside to readjust one of the doors. I didn't get it right when I replaced the heater core. ![]() Once all this is done, I should be good to go until I attack the rear suspension.

Good to hear Fred is taking more shape! Justin |
