Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Not to sound like a broken record, but you have done an outstanding job! Your attention to detail is amazing. I was wondering what size tires and wheels your running, I love the look of wide tires on the front and rear. Do your front and rears match? And if you know off the top of your head what backspace your running that would be great too.
Thanks, Travis |

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
thanks man, the headers are S&P's. i'm not really familiar with the 4 X's so i dont know for sure. i do know that they are midlength headers made for our trucks. i'd give Cobry or Phil a call over there.
ok thanks i think they will work but i will call them to make sure.

The correct floorpan is being next day aired. You should have it today. Let me know if it doesn't show up.
