Nice job! Righteous work. I just had my 1989 Chevy C1500 Silverado (which I bought new) restored and should get another 33 years out of it. (Hope I make it that long, I'm 73) Next, I'll be juicing up the stock 5.7 engine with a cam and probably the Edelbrock ProFlo 4 system. Good Luck with yours.

Keep up the good work young man. Great job Dad, you have a fine son. How I wish more young men were like this. How I remember removing the spark plugs on my Dads 79 400ci Cordoba to help do a tune up at 9 years old. And he tells me "make sure to replce them one at a time" but since I was smarter and faster I ripped them all out at the same time... HAAAAAA instant 4th of July. Oh what a valuble lesson I learned.

Nice work! Beautiful rig, that's one you're going to want to hold on to for a long time, trust me. I own three standard cab OBS Chevy pickups, one of which was my first car (almost ten years ago now) and is about to go in for a frame off restoration to original condition. Thankfully the rust up here is nonexistent, so it should be all cosmetic unless I come across some electrical or mechanical issues I haven't found yet.

What kind of paint did you use? If it’s that rubber undercoating be very careful because rocks will chip it and it’ll start to peel and water will get under it and sit and completely rot out the frame without you even realizing it’s an issue. Happened to my ranger and the body still looks great but the frame is thrashed. Look into Fluid Film. Some places apply it but you can just buy it at home depot. It’s the best stuff I’ve found to keep off the rust. You do need to apply it more often but it’ll save your frame and your pocket in the long run. It looks like your in snow country so salt is even worse with that rubber undercoating. It’s fun living in the rust belt haha. Hope this helps.
@AlmostItalianBrothers2 жыл бұрын
I used Chassis Saver and Rust-Oleum, both dry really hard, no rubber. Haha yeah, I actually moved to VT in August so it’s even worse up here!!
