Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Wow it looks amazing! Nice work! Another vote for the map pockets, and I could go either way on the tonneau. I think it'll look slick once it's painted...

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Truck is looking amazing! I liked the bowtie on the panel, but the red just didn't look right. Black would be good, or run with the pockets. They go really well with the rest of the interior.
As for the bed cover...I say when it's painted it will be a nice feature that you can have on there, or take off when you want. Looks awesome either way in my opinion. |

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Dennis,
The hood looks great on there. I hope don't decide to put a cowl hood on it...just my .02 I like the rear window. I'm curious about the trim they used on it? Wonder where they got that? Also, did they use urethane to hold the glass in? |

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Truck looks great Dennis, as I have said 100 times
IMO, the map pockets and arm rest need to be the same color as the door panels, the trim can stay black as it ties everything else together very well..the other things black are just too much IMO. DEfinately lose the bowtie...too cheesy and it doesn't match anything else at all...looks like an afterhought. Just my opinion brother.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
I'd leave the billet grill in there! Man your truck is awesome! One question, is the rear window a flush mount on the out side or something? (I just found your build thread via another thread and am curious

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Truck is looking amazing.
I would go with the map pockets as well. To me the black works well with the black inserts on the seats and black accents you have in the rest of the interior. Have you thought about a 73-74 grille on there? The extra depth really gives it some character.

The door panels look great. The whole frikken truck does, but the two-tone door panels freshens up the OEM look without being too much. Love what you've done.
