Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Tucker that's awesome. I'm so glad you're finally back on this again. The door looks great. I'm gonna start stripping my truck down to the frame here soon. It'll be getting the regular treatment. It'll be a normal build lol ya know porterbuilt in the front and rear, 6.0, one piece windows. Ya know like everyone else around here lmao.
Btw good luck with Rich . Also whenever you want to talk some more about the interior or just to chat you know where to find me. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Hell yeah man. Looking good. It's good to see some progress on Silvers. Sometimes you just gotta step back and regroup when it gets overwhelming. I'm glad you're back at it.
