One of the most beautiful trucks on here buddy. (My Favorite too!) Great work brother! One question, I thought your truck was a 78? Arent those the 79 headlight surrounds?

Truly amazing work. Inspiration for all, and a project we can all aspire to. Normally I like my trucks lifted high but the work you've put into this has been awe-inspiring.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
maybe 1 more...
been driving her alot lately... cant get out of the driverseat honestly. its amazing how much attention she gets from young to elderly from red lights to parking lots. .. its crazy. im loving the look of the one piece rear glass with the seam shaved. im getting the bed rhino lined body color next week after i grind everything down and re-seam seal all the edges. and then i have the gaylord cover getting painted now along with the hood, the door panels are getting embroidered and sewed up should be done next week. a few surprises coming for you guys also...

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Is that the flush mount glass kit from One-Piece Products? If so, do you have any pics of the inside trim around the glass area? Been wanting to use this on mine when I get to that stage, just don't want it to look back on the inside.
BTW - Truck looks PHENOMENAL!!!!
