Much has not happened since the last, but here are a few photos that we have made last.

Cabin bottom sandblasted and epoxy primed. Next we have to disconnect the engine, gearbox and the rest of the wires.

Finland is a small country, but the engine hoists are big. :lol: It needed 80000kg of crane.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
 

Today was the time to modify rear axle hangers. We lift it 10cm (4 inc). Still new bolts and paint and it's ready.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
 

Great work!:metal:

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
 

That's the most amazing engine hoist I've ever seen!
Your truck is really coming along nicely.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
 

Thank you Naught!

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
 

We didn't have any other engine hoist in that moment. ;)
Now I am in summer vacation so I try to do as much as possible.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
 

Today we sandblasted rest of the frame.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
 

Today we sandpapered the frame and tooked it to the painter. We also sandblasted front axle and some of the smaler pieces (from that I didn't remember take the pictures)

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
 

First piece painted. This is good for motivation. :two:

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.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
 

love the metal work/repair on this! Looks near perfect!

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
 

We bought another bed where both sides are much better than old ones.

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)

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland

Thank you very much!

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
 

When this truck is ready, I hope so that it will be nice truck. But I know it takes a lot of money and time! :(

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
 

Here are a few pictures what happened last days:

1. We put the putty (I hope this is the right word) many, many times and sandpapered it. I can tell that I HATE that job!!!
2-3. 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)
