I like Atlanta Chassis Dyno. Tho owner is Brad Brand. The # is 770-786-2400. He has a dyno and can tune. He did my Camaro (see link above). I am very pleased with it.

Building a 86 Silverado 2wd sbrc, LS1 and 4L60E. Magnacharger soon to follow
HIS: 01 GMC Sierra 1500 H.D. 4X4 crew cab, loaded, 6" RCD, 3" body, 14X36" TSL Swampers, 16.5X12 MT classic 2`s, cowl hood, hypertech
HERS: 01 GMC Yukon, loaded, Denali front clip, 22" Giovannas, 2/4 drop, cowl hood, 2 baby seats
What's the progress on the '86? Just got my trans back in. Got some adjustments to make. Vac mod feels different. I guess mostly b/c I was nearly a quart low (deeper pan installed). Pan took 9 quarts.
Had to wash truck after I got finished. After sitting up for almost a month, it looked brown instead of black. Not as clean as that shiney new paint job ya have, but it's much cleaner now.
5.3L '86 Silverado (E/T: 14.37s @ 94mph) - First Time Out!Test-n-Tune (Nov 23, 2008) - 13.65s @ 98mph
That looks killer. I really like the rallye wheels and RWL tires. The color combo on the paint is sweet also.
So what were the biggest hurdles in your conversion?
I'm extremely interested in doing a swap in my '87
Time and money..Then some more money then more time. Thats about it. Did I mention time? But, it will be worth it. This week I am ordering the covans classic gauges. WOW. A grand for gauges! OOOUCHOriginally Posted by BOWTIEFREAK383

hey 86 if youre really not set on covans what i did was buy each guage cost me like 500.00 and i tell ya it looks just like covans .... unless you actually have something wrong with the face plate... right now i am having body work done, ihave a 84 shortbed but i stayed with old school carbed 350 stroked to 383 just dynoed yesterday 502 rwhp... (just motor) anyway face plate is being sanded and painted with some sheet metal work being done to the cab.... anyway thats a damn good looking truck, painting mine chevy red ( i think lol)
Guys, I know this is a very old thread but I have been looking to see what color code this truck actually got painted. If anybody would know other than the previous owner it would be one of you guys. I have been through most of the post on this truck and the closest thing that is said is from other members about being factory colors. Is that correct? I thought Midnight blue was the closest thing to this blue in these year trucks. Any help would be apprecieated and if there are any links stating exactly what it is then please post. Thanks
