Need Help with My 73-87 Chevy Truck Restoration!

And if you need a good laugh, remember…sometimes just hitting the dashboard works! Just kidding… but seriously, check the cable first!

Hitting the dashboard? You make it sound like a drum! Sometimes I think these old trucks enjoy the attention we give them.

Hey, I just finished restoring my 78 C10! I upgraded to a 4-link suspension, and it transformed the ride quality. Definitely consider the investment!

That sounds amazing! I’m also considering suspension upgrades. Did you do it yourself or hire a shop?

I’ve swapped an LS engine into my 85 Silverado, and the power boost is insane! Highly recommend it if you’re looking for performance.

Nice! Was it a straightforward swap? I’m nervous about tackling that myself.

You guys are making me want to ditch my small block for an LS! But I’ve heard there might be some issues with fitting it in. Any tips?

I think it depends on the model. Some fit easily, but others might need custom mounts. Just research beforehand!

Paint it lime green and slap on some retro graphics! You’ll have the coolest truck at the car shows, no question.

That’s a bold choice! :smile: I was thinking about a more classic black or blue instead.

A classic color sounds great too! You can’t go wrong with those. Just make sure to pick a shade that pops in the sunlight.

I just wish my budget was bigger! My wife is giving me the side-eye every time a new part arrives. :joy:
