Nah because he is visiting family. However, it's his 67-72chevytrucks family :D

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

You're probably right. Maybe he will make a pass through the OK/TX region, too. Kind of like a victory lap once Silver is finished....

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

He better! :sumo:

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

:haha:

thanks for all the nice comments guys!:D a victory lap would be cool!

yesterday i gave the cab a big hug and watched her leave to get painted. kinda wierd going out to the garage and not seeing it. oh well... i can now focus on getting the motor ready to start. the harness should be here today or tomorrow. i need to figure out what to order from summit so i can get the tranny lines done and a bunch of other little stuff.

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

The support looks really good Dennis. Can't wait to see the Red Jewel on the cab.

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

Very nice progress! the cab is looking good, I like the welded seam. Digging the paint color too!!!

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

:metal: thanks guys! been just messing around today... got the radiator hoses on and steam line hose on. ordered a few fittings from summit for the tranny cooler lines.

i need to know what size/type thread is on the trans cooler inlet/outlet. i was going to try and use the stock quick release lines but i remember seeing someone unscrewing them and putting regular -an style adaptors on there. ring any bells?

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

I would also like to know this. Truck is coming together nicely Dennis.

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

i was going to go by today dennis but you didnt text back. I wanted you to see the interior in the truck it looks way better than it does in the pictures i took. If your off tomorrow text me and i can head over there after school for sure man.

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

Dennis, glad to hear you are making good progress. :thumbs: for you.

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

thanks Gerald! hey Brandon i was running a ton of errands today man(battery in goat, window tint, visiting pops, etc.) i'll give you a call tomorrow.

here's a few pics of the cab going bye-bye. and the new hoses and the last one is the fittings Josh and I need help on...

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

^^ you been drinking dude?

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

ha no. only way to get some words on here. The set up is clean. What if you were to run a steel braided line for the steam line, or make one out of hard line and get it chromed or a polished stainless one. just some ideas.

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

hey Josh! found them:D http://www.purechoicemotorsports.com...rod/prd176.htm

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

thanks dennis i needed those as well. will those work on the rad as well

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

no they are different... you will need this one for the radiator http://www.summitracing.com/parts/AER-FBM2963/

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

Tony from Entropy said my radiator is 5/16 inverted flare 1/2-20 thread size. i'm not sure what the 5/16's means though... i hope that one ^^ will work on mine also! because thats the one i ordered:lol:

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

let me know i may have to take them off your hands

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

That Summit fitting looks to be exactly what you need. I may be way off, but I think the 5/16" is the I.D.

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

ed, was that to me? i hope so... these dang fittings are getting expensive!

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

Yepper! And after a phone call, the 5/16" inverted flair part is if you are going to use a flaired steel line rather than going to a screw on line like you plan on using. Brake lines have inverted flair fittings on them. Now we both know :lol:

And, yes, AN fittings are quite expensive!
