Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Thank you Jayson! Hopefully, on Saturday, we get the engine back on the frame.
In our city we have every year a "big" meeting for US cars on May 1st, but by then this truck is not ready.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Ilkka, I'm so impressed. That engine is like a jewel! I haven't looked at your project for a long time and you have gotten so much work done. I'm sorry that the bed and cab didn't line up. You guys have the skills to fix it. It will just need more new paint. That truck is like it is new + better. Beautiful. I hope you are proud.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
The aluminum parts look good. Especially the intake manifold. What is sinol? Is it an aluminum treatment? Here it is a spray for your sinuses.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Thank you very much LT7A! My brother has done a lot of work with this truck in the last few months, so he has made good progress. Next week, we slow down again because we do not have so much time. Sinol is the fuel of the T-Sprii, I can not explain better, sorry.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Thank you very much Mike! Hopefully one day we will get the engine running. There is still a lot of installation before we can start engine. For example, all wiring for engine bay have to installation.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Me, my wife and both daughters were on a week-long vacation on the island of Crete in Greece, and in the meantime my brother and his sons had worked hard for the rest of the wires and installed them.
Still some installations need to be done so that we can start the engine. 1. My brothers son working with the wires. 2-3. Engine bay looks like this now.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Can anybody help, because we do not know is there any parts missing (+anything else) from that air hose? I don't know what kind of parts I have to search. (Picture)
Is there any good advice on how to get air off from the brakes? Have to be the truck motor running? How about rear brakes?
