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.

This video was taken right after I pulled the famous 383 Stroker that was shown in the other videos. I dropped in a 350 4 bolt main with a RV/Towing cam. It has less power but the truck now gets 15 miles to the gallon compared to the 7 or 8 it was getting. Now I can afford to enjoy driving it much more often. *** Video by: Cameron Altizer ***
