Tony!
I purchased most of my repair sheet metal from Scotts super trucks in Penhold Ab.
Not sure what the price was?

PHAT TONY · 12-09-2009, 11:43 AM

I new it!! I'm a 10 minute drive from him; wouldn't deal with anyone else.

Normy71 · 12-09-2009, 01:31 PM

That's nice and handy for you!
The shipping sucks but the service is great next day to me .

tk-mpl · 12-09-2009, 01:55 PM

So are you going with a 5.3L... If so where are you going to get one.\

I'm still looking for a 5.3 L33 DBW and 4l60 2 wd trans.
There are a lot of 4wd trans around but the 2 wd are harder to find.
I'm trying to make a deal on one threw SGI our government wreckers, but they strip them completely down then try to sell them? which is crappy for us custom builders.
Any leads on a complete engine/trans?

tk-mpl · 12-09-2009, 02:40 PM

I got mine complete with everything with under 50 miles on it from Schram auto. They have an ebay store.. I payed $2200+$800 shipping. I talked to several wreakers around here and the one (Reg's) wanted $4500 for a 6.0L/4L80 set with over 200,000km on it and he wasn't sure if the trans worked..
Trevor

tk-mpl · 12-09-2009, 02:41 PM

And that was a 4x4 trans converted to 2wd. too.

Normy71 · 12-09-2009, 02:43 PM

Was that Us$ ?

Normy71 · 12-09-2009, 02:46 PM

Do you have a build started on your 68 ?

tk-mpl · 12-09-2009, 03:08 PM

That was US$.. I don't have a build thread on my truck.. I bearly have time to work on it let alone make a build thread... I would love to make one though.. Specially to help others like this forum has helped me..

Us Canadians gotta stick together!!! We're savagely out-numbered here.

Normy71 · 12-10-2009, 10:21 PM

Found a Engine today a 2007 DBW 5.3 L33 with 55 Km and a trans and hopefully all the goodies I need?

What I did get was the

-Alternator power steering pump and bracket
-starter and bolts
-flywheel
-Harness /data port & computer / DBW Pedal

I think I got the wrong engine cover?
I got some sort of wiring harness? looks like I even got the tail lights!
I still need a few bolt and odds and ends.

Where to start?
Help!!

tk-mpl · 12-10-2009, 11:40 PM

what I did first was strip the harness. If you are going to do it yourself take all of the pins out of the PCM connectors, label them first C1 or C2 and which terminal. Then you have all of your connectors. Start plugging in the sensor connectors and run the wires the way you want then to go.. Decide where you are going to mount the PCM and cut your wires to length and start putting the terminals back into the PCM connectors..
Have fun..
Trevor

Normy71 · 12-18-2009, 11:26 AM

Some more pictures of the drivers side rocker install.
I still need to flip the cab up and weld from underneath
But I will wait until I finish the other side.
I'm sure glad I braced up the inside of the cab hold everything in place with all the cutting.

Normy71 · 12-18-2009, 11:32 AM

I also got the frame all welded up. I still need to dress up some of the welds it turned out very nice.
I cheated and had a welder friend come over for a visit and handed him the welder!
Thanks Bud!!

Normy71 · 12-18-2009, 11:37 AM

I also picked up some wheels not sure how they are going to look?
My plans are to put 275/60/15 on the rear and 255or235 /60-15 on the front
They look good as I have learned from this site.
I would like some bigger wheels but see what I can come up with in the future.

PHAT TONY · 12-18-2009, 11:11 PM

Very good weld penetration; you can be confident there. Lookin good!

mcbassin · 12-19-2009, 12:33 AM

I will be watching this one too. I had the same feeling when I picked up our 4.8engine....where do I start? So, I just haven't started on it yet. I have other fish to fry first.

chevy88 · 12-19-2009, 01:14 AM

Man for somebody thinking that you have been putting something off for a long time, and better start a biuld thread, you sure are going at it hard now. Great progress. Keep it up you'll be crusing this spring in it.

Normy71 · 12-19-2009, 09:59 AM

Every time I head out to the shop the first thing I see is this long box sitting and waiting to be cut down.
I've got a long way to go!!

Thealien · 12-19-2009, 10:39 AM

One step at a time and it will get done!

Normy71 · 12-19-2009, 04:22 PM

Got a few things bolted on and still working on the power steering pump pulley!
I had to pull the pulley off to change the install brackets,and my puller installer tool is not metric as required to install this back on, what a pain in the #$$.
(I bet the designers are still laughing about that one...)
Now I need to find a 10X1.5mm bolt or better yet 10X1.5mm x3/8 in stud so my installer tool will work.
That's why it is good to walk away from it for a while..

Normy I just bought my 5.3L Vortec from a '99 Silverado.
I got everything including all the accessories, computer wire harness, fuse box, starter etc.

Let us know what things you are needing to get or modify for your build.
Good luck

Normy71 · 12-19-2009, 09:27 PM

6D8
That's a big list.
The next thing on my to order list is engine mounts. I will prob make my own trans mount.
I have to clean up my frame and put the front end back together.
Touch up the frame paint/ pull the C notch off and paint it.
I'm just taking it slow

tk-mpl · 12-19-2009, 10:27 PM

do you know the lokar part number for the shifter cable for our trucks and a 4L60 trans..
