My new project 86 Silverado

[naphtali5725]

Does anyone have any experience with this place?

As I said in an earlier post, I am leaning toward a high compression 327, aluminum heads, forged pistons, solid roller cam...

BRUISER, what do you think about the serpentine kit? could you post a pic of it? or is it all in a box and a hassle to get out
You willing to part with it? And yeah I still have my 455, I should have it back from the builder in a week or so

Mines still in the box. I'm always working on someone else's junk instead of my own. I can't sell it though, despite appearances I intend for it to get installed on the new engine and in the truck this summer. Sometimes you'll find a complete used serpentine set on ebay for around $150 if you don't want to bother junk yard scrounging. A used one could be painted up to look just as good.

Going to be getting wheels soon, just want to make sure I get it right... what backspacing should I use for wheels on my truck? stock 10 bolt flipped, no C notch and Mcgaughy's 2.5" drop spindles. i'd like 10" wheels in the back, 8" front. what size tires would be able to fit with plenty of room, I don't want to have to modify fender wells....

any input much appreciated, I hope my drop spindles get here tomorrow!

LOL yeah my wife said holy sh*t wtf is that? LOL
I've had 15 or 20 kidney stones over the last few years so you get used to them...kind of LOL
i'll be back on my truck tomorrow though

Your truck is coming along great, you seem to be doing it the right way. I just ordered a set of 2.5 drop spindles today. Are you going to cut the springs at all. I was thinking of just using the spindles up front, I don't want to drop it too much.

When did you retire, I was in Arty for 22 years.

thanks.. what kind of spindles did you go with?
no i'm not going to cut my springs, just spindles, and the flip kit on the rear.
i didn't retire, had to get out from combat injuries/disability. when you say arty, you mean artillary right? gun bunny?

i think you PM'd me asked about the drop shackles i have right?

[naphtali5725]

psssshhh, this is what i'd like my truck to look like... but flat black LOL

[rs74]

That is what I am going after as well. That is one of trucks that I am modeling my truck after as far as the stance.

[Sodell]

Yea, lol Artillery.
I think the 2.5 inch I got are from JDM, they had free shipping so they were a little cheaper. I plan to replace every thing in the front end when they come in. I was the one that PM'd you about the shackles. I think I am going to put a set of those on first and see how 2 inches looks before going lower.

I like the stance of the truck above, it's not slammed.
