Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
That box is calling for body color...but the black looks good too!
You can space out the jamb nuts too to keep the box off the fireall sheetmetal...like 1/8" or so...will prevent any paint damage. Were the instructions good/acceptable? Haven't gotten a whole lot of feedback on them yet? If you like the box, you'll LOVE the speaker brackets!

Looking great Dennis! just curious if you know you passed the 100 page mark on your build thread? That is quite a milestone. Keep up the hard work you will be done soon!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
things are going to start moving fast guys... i'm having my painter move in my house as a roommate. he can get all the body work done here and take her to his shop to get sprayed.
y'all are like family so i might as well tell ya i'm getting divorced. this truck will be done by the end of summer beginning of fall. and yes... i'm keeping her no matter what. hell i'm keeping everything i can afford... house, pups, silver, (except the srt8  house and silver are my priorities). sooooo.... no more *****ing when i buy parts and having the painter living here is going to help speed progress up. thanks for listining
