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

Man, sorry to hear about that Dennis. On a positive note, the truck is coming together nicely. At least with the painter there it will get done faster.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Great Excellent progress Dennis and I am sorry to hear about the divorce, I got you in my prayers and hopefully things go quick & smooth. Keep it up boss and also what air intake system/kit did you use? You can send it in a PM with part # or whatever so you won't clutter up the thread. Thanks !!
