I agree, and thanks for responding… since I am building a street machine, and not a show type truck, or back to original etc. I will not be needing any interior trim items, no headliner and what not(I have a custom aluminum dash) just odds and ends stuff… was looking for another option to LMC…

anyone else?

Re: My new project 86 Silverado

I'm biased, so I vote Olds! Also its been done several times. Not sure how well the Poncho fits? (mounts and exhaust?) Either way looks like fun!

Re: My new project 86 Silverado

after checking over my engine, the builder did not know a few Oldsmobile specific things... in the left rear of the engine, there is a 29/32" plug for the oil galley, behind that plug is the actual oil galley threaded pipe plug, well for the Olds engines, that galley pipe plug is supposed to have a .040 hole in it to oil the distributor gear...

so i have to pop that 29/32 freeze plug out and replace the galley pipe plug with the right one with the .040 hole in it... i already have them to replace, but is a bummer... delays delays grrrrrr
