Painting the center of the grille made a big improvement in the looks. Nice work.

I see you were sand blasting your own parts. Do you have a sandblaster and could you give some information.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Hey Dennis, which harness did you get from Painless? Was it the 10205? I'm getting mine today and couldn't find the p/n in your thread...
It looks like the 10205 is the only one I've found that uses the original bulkhead-style block on the hole in the firewall.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
sounds clean, you should take off dash pad and mount two tweeters where the stock 4x10 was or order the kenwood 4x10 of kenwood sonicelectronix.com thats what i put in mine makes a big difference
