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

[ronmonteith]

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

[81C10LS3]

Unbelievable Dennis!!!! Haven't been on here in a while. Here's my progress...

[81C10LS3]

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.

[81C10LS3]

I FOUND IT!!!! on Page 46. Sorry to bug ya, I'm offshore again so my connection is sloooow. Thx anyway, ordering it now.

WoW, I'm Speechless. Awesome work.
Truly an inspiration to all of us.

How do you like the seats?
Are they good quality?

Thanks

[81chevys]

i just used a 5 gallon bucket and a gun from sears. the trick is to have a huge air compressor.

LOL! thanks for the words brother. i am having a lot of fun being single right now. theres a reason for everything.... i missed most of my twenties so maybe ive been given the chance to live them and have fun. LOL!

[menace121978]

i had a custom box built for behind the seats. i wanted to make use of every inch possible with the seats pushed all the way back against the cab wall. this system sounds so sick!! and i dont have to suck in my belly everytime i want to turn the wheel!LOL

Killer work my friend. Envious!

[54Caddy]

Looks good dennis. whats all your aduio set up?

[menace121978]

2 kicker 350 amps pushing kicker 6 1/2 component speakers and kicker 6x9, 2 mtx thunder65 thin 10" in a custom stepped box with mtx 500 amp. sony gt740 head unit(soon to be JVC El Chameleon) and the new viper 5704 alarm and remote start. think thats it. besides the 1000 pounds of sound deadner

[54Caddy]

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

[menace121978]

thanks bro... the ecm is mounted where the 4x10 was

[54Caddy]

oh, good luck at the upcoming autorama Dennis. So my question to you will you be attending the CPP show on March 17 will be a nice drive for you and the truck. Its a show you cant miss.
