I’ve written several posts about my two 78 Silverado trucks I want to work on.
This is my 3/4 Ton 1978 Silverado truck.
It’s got a 350 engine in it and a 4 speed manual, with granny low.
This truck will never be a show truck, but I bought it for only $400 and drove it home. Hard to beat that.
My goal with this truck is to practice on it first, before I tear into my other 78 Silverado (1/2 ton) that’s in really good shape.
I am new to doing all my own work on my trucks, but I am trying to teach myself through books and the internet.
My end goal is to be capable of doing everything on my truck from bumper to bumper and tires to cab top.
Most guys that work on their stuff are like me, alone in their efforts.
So a buddy of mine and I came up with the idea to film me working on the trucks and showing how one guy can do all of the work himself.
I received unanimous feedback from the 67-72chevytruck.com forum members that I should start working on the 3/4 ton truck before tearing into the much nicer 1/2 ton (they are both 1978 Silverados).
The 3/4 ton is currently stored at a buddy’s house, but as soon as our 1992 Lumina sells, the truck will be coming home.
