1983 Silverado SWB - Frame Up Resto-Mod

[jpowel29]

Too many toys and now I have this diesel habit to support:

1983 Silverado SWB - rolling chassis
Frame Off - Acid washed frame rails - coated with POR 15
New Stainless Steel Brake Corp 4wd Discs, Hard Lines, Braided Flex Line - Front to Rear
New Painless Wiring Harness - complete front to rear
New DJM tubular performance suspension
5" drop in front (DJM lowered control arms & coils)
5" drop in rear (McGaughy's C-Notch rear fram)
GM 8.5" 10 Bolt w/ Detroit Locker, TA Girdle, Timken Bearings, Yukon 4.11 gears (professionally set-up)
Cal-Tracs rear suspension w/ leaf spring flip kit
5x5 Bolt Pattern - Pro Comp Alloy Black wheels available
Brother's Performance 12gal Aluminum fuel cell - flush mount under bed between rear frame rails
-10AN Aluminum & Braided Fuel lines
New Cab & Frame Mounts/Bolts
Smoothed Firewall
Rust Free Sheetmetal - Complete underside of bed has also been POR 15 coated
All Interior is completely new or refurbished from LMC Truck catalog
New power windows, locks, motors, switches, glass, dash pad, AFC sport bucket seats w/console, billet grill insert, head lights, tail lights, and more (I am getting tired of typing)

For sale or trade - I might also consider parting her out in pieces individually but the best price comes from a complete sale

I am in need of a good quality car hauler or nice dove tail trailer w/ramps. Other towing vehicles considered as well. No Junk Please.

(NO MOTOR, TRANS, OR RADIATOR - they are already sold) - Truck is completely assembled, titled, tagged, and has been street driven as of February 2009

PayPal Accepted - More photos available for serious inquiries.

Sorry, I didn't realize the pics did not load. I will get some in when I get home this evening. Most of the pics that I have are from the early build up stages. I will roll it out of the garage and take a few of it together.

Added to list of parts:
Truck also has a full dual exhaust. Borla Mufflers, X-Crossover, and Pypes 2 1/4" piping over the rear axle (exiting behind the rear tires)

Truck has rear roll pan installed and a smoothed front bumper (currently not installed). Truck has factory paint and the body work/sanding has not yet been started.

All of the interior cab sheet metal panels have been covered in the foil backed sound deadener (very similar to Dyno Mat). No carpeting in the cab but I did install a new rubber floor mat. All interior pieces are black (seats & console, dash, headliner, door panels, trim panels)

what the truck setup for, motor/tranny?

 

[jpowel29]

It has had both big block and small block chevy engines with a TH350 (I used a tubular trans mount crossmember to clear larger exhaust w/o needing to run the exhaust over the top of the trans crossmember but still maintain good ground clearance with its lowered stance.

I had Mark Williams Enterprises build a 3.5" steel driveshaft custom length for the 9" tailshaft TH350 - it has the billet yokes (trans yoke will fit TH350 & PG tailshafts) and it has the HD 1350 Spicer U-joints (with matching pinion yoke installed in the rearend)

Other add-ons I have not yet listed:

New AGR Performance Power Steering Gearbox and hydraulic lines
New Master Power brake booster (truck has manual brakes now and I also have power booster & master cylinder)
