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)
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

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
