Well i talked to Chris(captkaos) yesterday and he's tracking down my floor pan. he said it should have been here over a week ago he's going to express out another one monday if he cant find out what happened to it. What an awesome guy to deal with. I emailed asking what was going on he called me a few minutes later and started trying to track it down! Rich Grant(my painter) is just itching to get ahold of the cab. hoping to get the pan in and the cab to him this week...

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.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Thanks for the compliments and patience. Sorry I couldn't talk when you called, I was driving in traffic and couldn't talk. Took a 2hour trip that was 4.5hrs long.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
they are 'supposed to be direct fit with the ls mods done to them... all made in the USA, all hand welded. there's a thread on the 67+ side about them. really nice looking product.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Before you order the Entropy Technology, call Performance Radiator. They are all over the country. I have had pretty good luck with them in the past. They may offer the right radiator for your needs for Silver. Performanceradiator.com
