Take care brother.
I am suspicious of the injection spider or the pressure regulator. I want to keep this one stock. It's much cheaper to replace the injection spider than convert to a carberator. Thanks for any help on subs or super clean sponsorship.
@@TheGeneralMotorsGeezer-we3dg The speedometer was jumping around like crazy and causing the transmission to shift up and down. It was a bad "transmission speed sensor" on the back of the transfer case.
You would actually be surprised those vortec heads have an amazing flow and the combustion chamber is ideal for power. You can do the Forrell intake swap like I’m doing on mine and achieve much more than you could with an early 350 corporate block.
@@scarface9617 I don't like the way vortec intakes bolt to the heads. I know the vortec heads have their advantages. I would have to think about it. Thanks
@@TheGeneralMotorsGeezer-we3dg I did not like that concept either but as I looked into it, I realized that they are actually pretty good. They hold boost from a supercharger or a turbo perfectly so in my book that is well enough lol.
A Vortec headed 383 is an absolute monster with the right cam, you would be surprised, brother I have built a few and eventually my project will be one of them
I have a 97 C1500 ext stepside with same fender trims. Im looking to remove them too since mine is already rusting on there..... Then it gets a good paintjob. Now the truck is matt black and thinking about high gloss black.
@@MiguelTolento-f3h Shipping would cost a fortune. One section is at least 5 foot long and there are 2. I can build a cardboard box for all 4 parts, but that would cost some money. I would sell them for 400.00 and you would be responsible for shipping costs. I would only accept PayPal for payment. No refunds.
That is the best way to do it. These are really good trucks. The 4L60E transmissions can be an issue if you don't take care of them. Thanks for watching.
Distributor crap.......😅
Gotta love a Heavy Chevy. Sorry for your loss
Thanks. He was a good friend. My Sister in Law thought He would have wanted me to have it.
Very nice truck Sir. Sorry for your loss.
that’s a very nice project.. I like a good ol’carb setup, also!
Thanks. I love old 350's with carbs. Last forever.
@@TheGeneralMotorsGeezer-we3dg Doc, Sorry for your loss, sir! 🙏
@@scarface9617 Thanks
Keeping trucks like this on the road is good for the environment and the economy.
I agree. I would think the companies that make trucks and the enviro types would disagree.

I just repaired my cousin's 1998 k1500 4x4 that was having transmission shifting issues.
@@MyLifeThai371 what was the issue? Thanks for watching.

@@MyLifeThai371 Oh yeah, they will do that. My K1500 Cheyenne had one go bad. Normal failures.
Nice truck

yes, the vortec heads do flow very well.. or could just drop an LS down in it, also!

Hey Lee!
I have a 97 C1500 ext stepside with same fender trims. Im looking to remove them too since mine is already rusting on there..... Then it gets a good paintjob. Now the truck is matt black and thinking about high gloss black.
Our gold 96 Silverado is a step side too. They are good looking trucks. If you fix the rust correctly, it should turn out nice.
Nice truck. Fix it up
Would you be interested in selling the trim if so how much and will you ship?
Yes I would. We would have to work out the details. What state do you live in?
@@TheGeneralMotorsGeezer-we3dg I’m In California

I have a 97 that my Daddy left me, I won't ever sell mine either. I'll restore and replace but keep it all stock.

How much for whole truck?
I'm not going to sell it.
can i pick this up
It's in sale?
Not going to sell it.
OK thanks
also i’m pretty sure ur brother wouldn’t mind to let me have this car
I didn't get to sell. I want one more running truck. We live out in the country and need it.
Is your brother-in-law Mexican?😂
