I have a v10 according to the insurance company and in the 80s Silverado was a trim package then in the 90s ALL TRUCKS WERE SILVERADO but I could be wrong

Oh I'm sure there's several others along the years

Update:

 

I think it has a bad roller knock because it isn’t adjusted right, or it spun a bearing. Either way it’s getting a 12v Cummins, hopefully a p-pump if I can find one. Transmission wise it’s getting a dodge nv5600 and I have been researching wether I can use a 205 transfer case. Anyway I’ll try to keep you guys updated

I have not seen this yet but I love the idea I believe a have a 1984 camper sprecal 1/2 ton with a 3/4 ton suspention and we have a 350 waiting to rebuild got all the parts just need my freind to get back because he helped me take apart and he's going to help me put it together. the engine in it barley ran it had the pin coming out of the cylinder and ruined it so we bought another engine and it had rust in the cylnder, so it ended up having to be sleved. so mines not going bad so far

@Easton Rich  ever get any lubrication into body seaming ?, closed a could easily be feeding long neglected metal . pick up trucks around me look like a , rust a thon . KNOCK R LOOSE  penetrant is a good first , metal seam creeper lubricant , lower cab body seams , chassis , spring mounts , rather have an oil stain than a rot thru , state also   PRE TREATS ROADS , for ice penetration , guess what that does to your ride ?   just  sayin , pete

[Easton Rich 455]

@Keaton if you need any smaller engine parts tell me otherwise they go to scrap. (The engine Is blown) Are you doing TBI?

[Keaton 464]

@Easton Rich like small block Chevy parts, or like small engines, don't need any at the moment, and yes exactly, I had 2 motors putting mine back together and it runs now, we have to put the tbi on next

I’m back on the squarebody! We’ve done rod bearings and an oil pump and tomorrow is wiring. Fun stuff

[ebinmaine 70,382]

Awesome! 

[Easton Rich 455]

I will do picture updates very soon. Tonight it got a rear bumper, a new trailer light plug and head lights. Tomorrow the exhaust will be welded and I will tidy up the wiring.
