Dude that is looking sweet!!! Can't wait to see it in person next year. :D

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

right on thanks Bob!:metal: Fred is bad @ss!!! thanks for the ride:D makes me wanna head out from here and get her back together!!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

Cab is looking great! looks like you have your ducks lined up too. Got your cab done first so you can start putting it back together while the rest is in the body shop. I'm like the rest of these guys, it looks too nice.....try not to scratch it while your working on it.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

Is it done yet?

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

Yeah, what do you think this is? Vacation or something? ;)

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

Hello, what's the hold up? Lol

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

Yeah Dennis hurry up and get your heep on the chassis!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

It is hard to make good progress when you are happily strolling, pushing your dogs around a CO mountain town...in a stroller! :haha: (Spy photo to follow)

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

:haha: good one! you and Amy are sneaky!!!!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

All that would have made this one better is if we had her on video jumping and running through the rock store yelling, "Yes! We got you! YES, YES, YES!":hot:

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

That color is amazing

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

LOLLL ****ing dennis! how did you keep your man card pushing that stroller around.. I must say you have a lot of love for your wieners!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

:lol: Amy was pretty excited about that!


thanks for posting those pics Billy! beautiful... you can even see the undercoating!;) today is a huge day guys! the cabs coming home and getting mounted to the chassis and the fenders and doors are leaving to get jammed:D going to getthe 1 piece products installed also so there wont be any problems after she's all painted.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

That thing is going to be amazing when you finish!!! He77, it looks amazing already. I like the bedliner undercoating, it gives it a cool looking transition and it should hold up like a champ!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

Dennis, a dog stroller man? Come on now! You know you will be getting funny weiner comments for ever now! By the way, the cab looks killer and I cant wait to see it mounted.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

I just got back from vacation too Dennis. I thought I would have missed a lot of progress because I went on a week long unplugged vacation. Remind me to never do that again. It took me all day yesterday to get caught up on all the updates on here. Then to top it off I get spy photos of you pushing a dog stroller :lol:

Cab looks amazing man. I can't wait to see it sitting on the frame!!!!!:metal:

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

X2 on that!! It's one thing to tell someone you have a dog stroller, you could tell everyone that it was your wife's, but to have photo evidence. Man, that takes guts, Dennis you are the MAN!! :metal: :lol: :lol: :lol: Oh and by the way the cab looks great!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

I can relate to loving the dogs. I have a few too, not the stroller though....where did you get that bad boy?



Your truck is starting to look like a truck again! Wow looks like your paint guy has some skills!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

Looks good man! I liked the one you texted me, but all these other ones...wow! Its coming along great! Looks like its about time for a first drive video. Glad I can help everyone harass you a bit too. Only because you are a good sport.

And guys, they really love those dogs. But they are cool little dogs.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

The paint on the bed is a little faded lookin' , I'd raise heck with your painter. :haha:

JK... It looks amazing!!! Can't wait for some more updates!

Showed these pics to my fiance and the only thing she wants to know about is where you got the d@mn dog stroller!!! She wants to push her Morkie around in it.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

well basically you have the badest-ass 73-87 ever. Just saying.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

thank you for the nice comments!! :metal: i apprieciate them guys!

and imo i dont think she'll offically be the baddest until she's all back together with a magna charger sitting on top the engine and a mild air bag system;)- just dreaming here!:lol:

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

^^^That would certainly put Silver over the top!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

That looks freaking bad a$$!

Now, about the stroller...... Fighting. Urge. To. Comment. In. Public. Forum.

Going swimming, I'm sure I'll have something by the time we get home. :D

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

Thats sick man. I like how you put the bed on just for the photo op. Lookng really good. Now if I could just get my cab on too. Ooh yeah, I did! Glad we are both making good progress. We'll have to start planning that middle of the U.S. meet we've been talikng about to show these off! Congrats on the progress. Keep it up.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

I was thinking the same thing. :lol: I like that you did it though. It looks absolutely awesome!!!!

:haha:

That would be so awesome to have a major meet here in the middle somewhere. To see some of these sweet trucks from each coast in person!!!:metal:

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

Sweet, shoot, my truck doesn't look anywhere as nice as Dennis' truck. I'll just be glad to have it going again.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

Mid coast nationals?

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

looks good Dennis nearly fell off my bed with my computer on my lap, when I saw the cab on the frame since it looks so good. I can't wait to the ls swap in my truck my but I can't decided if I want to do a total rear end over haul with disc brakes and a new chrome master cylinder and booster first or after

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

WoW!
That looks sweet!!!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

You guys can meet right here in Oklahoma. Right in central USA!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

that sounds like a possibility buddy!:metal:

:lol: thanks Aaron! i'd get the swap done 1st imo... lots of little things start adding up with the swap. You can always go back and do the rearend and brakes.

thanks Joe!

i dont even know where the heck Oklahoma is!:haha:

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

Oklahoma is where we have all the free places to stay and hang out!
