What are you building? I thought you and Chuck were still buying and selling the crew cab back and forth still.

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

hoping to better the ecomony on our TBSS with a 6 speed auto some day. The 4L70e just doesn't have a tall enough OD for the 4.10 gears. I guess a gear vendors od might be another route. I have heard of guys putting 3.42's in their TBSS.

You're crazy as hell! I am currently doing a frame off resto mod on a 70 CST. I WILL need another old body style crew cab one day though. It would be at the house now if Chuck and I could have got together on transport a few months ago. Neither one of us could manage it at that time.

Have you started a build thread yet? I need to check this out. Dennis has left me kanging on my body off build thread fix! (I have to live vicariously through you guys that actually make progress on your projects.......)

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

I started one but progress has been slow. Fixing a few things around the house first.

Make me a good enough deal Chuck, I could use a 4x4 crew cab still.

I thought about changing gears when we had ours, but just wasn't worth the effort. I heard it won't gain you that much to offset the cost. Our Tahoe is actually better on gas mileage, and the payoff will come much quicker. However it cost $91.00 to fill it up the other day
