You're probably right. Maybe he will make a pass through the OK/TX region, too. Kind of like a victory lap once Silver is finished....

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 thanks for all the nice comments guys! a victory lap would be cool! yesterday i gave the cab a big hug and watched her leave to get painted. kinda wierd going out to the garage and not seeing it. oh well... i can now focus on getting the motor ready to start. the harness should be here today or tomorrow. i need to figure out what to order from summit so i can get the tranny lines done and a bunch of other little stuff.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
thanks guys! been just messing around today... got the radiator hoses on and steam line hose on. ordered a few fittings from summit for the tranny cooler lines. i need to know what size/type thread is on the trans cooler inlet/outlet. i was going to try and use the stock quick release lines but i remember seeing someone unscrewing them and putting regular -an style adaptors on there. ring any bells?

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
ha no. only way to get some words on here. The set up is clean. What if you were to run a steel braided line for the steam line, or make one out of hard line and get it chromed or a polished stainless one. just some ideas.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
That Summit fitting looks to be exactly what you need. I may be way off, but I think the 5/16" is the I.D.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Yepper! And after a phone call, the 5/16" inverted flair part is if you are going to use a flaired steel line rather than going to a screw on line like you plan on using. Brake lines have inverted flair fittings on them. Now we both know
And, yes, AN fittings are quite expensive! |
