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

1. Some previous owner had broken threads from turbine! Great thanks to Classic park and Jukka (painter) who made it possible to correct the treads at the weekend.
2. We still had to use the ATV to get the truck moved.
3. Engine and gear box connected and moving in place.
4 and 5. Engine is in place.

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.

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.

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?
