I might have a set in the attick that I got when I bought the 73. He said he was giving me a set of bench and bucket brackets. If these work for ya Dennis you can have them.

That's going to look awesome, and it's closer to the original color than I thought it would be.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Man that looks awsome! Cant wait till I get to this stage in my build, or at least just get the damn frame stuff done. I hate having two axles, wish I would have gotten a two wheel drive now.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Looks great in the big pictures man! I am glad you put it up next to the original paint to compare. Very good color choice. It doesn't get much more like a modern version of the original color than that. (Did that make any sense? )
