Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
the infamous Rich 'the painter' made it by the house last night to check things out and get a game plan going. He's going to pick up the doors, hinges, and A/C box monday after work and get them knocked out He's going to take the bed next to undercoat and paint and while he's got the bed i'm going to get the exhaust done i need to get into DMV and get everything all in order so i can drive her somewhat legal to the exhaust shop also

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Glad I stopped to check it out. I miss watching this build. I gotta remember to drop in more often. The exhaust shop going to run pipe without the bed on it? I would wait till it is on there and the truck is sitting at ride height to run exhaust. Then you are sure about clearances.

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