Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Sorry to hear you hurt your back. I have done it twice now. Two herniated discs the first time and a severe whiplash injury six years later that aggravated the first injury that I though was healed. I wish you the best in your recovery and with getting the bed back from the painter in a timely manner.
