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

Fire up your buffer, Holmes. They looked like they were in pretty good shape. The ones I put in my truck weren't refinished, just hit them with Hot Rimz and they look OK.

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

One of the most beautiful trucks on here buddy. (My Favorite too!) Great work brother! One question, I thought your truck was a 78? Arent those the 79 headlight surrounds?

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

Truly amazing work. Inspiration for all, and a project we can all aspire to. Normally I like my trucks lifted high but the work you've put into this has been awe-inspiring.

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

Simply awesome! VERY well built truck!!

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

Thanks bro! And yep you are correct... Word has it soon as the 79's camecout my grandpa noticed the change in the front end and wanted his to look like a new one! Lol! So he bought all new pieces from the dealer and she's been that way ever since. Figured I'd keep it going... Plus I do like the look better myself:metal:

Looks so nice!
Now you need to change your avatar,...

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

Got it! That truck is truly an inspiration to all the DIY'ers out there who think they cant resto a truck in a 2 car garage. All it takes is patience and some basic tools. And a great eye for what the finished project will look like. You did an amazing job and should be very proud of the job you've done!
SO, whats next?

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