This is a video of the restoration project I just started on. It’s a 78 Chevy 3/4 ton. The body was completely shot when I got it and it didn’t run. Since I got it I’ve taken the bed off it of got the back half of the frame painted, taken the fuel tank off paint it and patched a small pin hole, ran some temporary fuel lines and wire for the sending unit. I’ve got the motor running pretty good. The new motor thats going in it is a 5.3 vortec out of a 2001 Chevy truck. I’m going to be keeping it fuel injected also. I have all the adapters I need to make it fit, now I just need to get the stand-alone wiring harness and computer. I bought another bed for it and got the underneath of it cleaned and painted, also last week (12-8-08) I bought another cab for it. The new cab is off of a 1980 silverado so it has A/C and all the interior trim. So far I’ve got the new cab pretty much gutted out so I can get it prepped and painted. The color of the truck will be Forest Metallic Green like whats on the 99 up trucks. I’ll try to keep videos posted of my progress. Leave some comments and let me know what ya think.

Jim’s 1953 Chevy Pickup Truck
Drag race between a 1955 Chevy 4 door Sedan with a 427 and a 1953 Chevy Truck with a 406. Both reactions were incredible and the ’55 just caught me at the end. Very tight and close. We now have the truck at 11.97 sec.
