Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Tell ya what, I think once we get these done and running we'll have to take a week off and do a road trip to somewhere central U.S. and meet up with all the other interested squares and do a nice mountain drive or something.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
thanks guys! after everything is said and done we DEFINITELY have to get everyone together in the middle! i think thats a great idea... we have all been watching and helping each other build their trucks... then to finish them and be able to see them in person and meet each other would be FANTASTIC! we've all become good friends through the board and meeting in person would be like icing on the cake... and we could eat it together!

The squeal could be that it is low on trans fluid. Have you warmed it up, let it shift through all the gears (with the rear end on jack stands) and topped off the fluid yet? It needs to cycle through all the gears to purge out all the air in the passages so you can accurately top off the fluid.

That's "garage porn" if I ever saw/heard it! Woodrow?
Sweet, bud! Hey, did you ever order those seats we talked about? Curious about first impressions, if you had. Keep up the work man, could be a mid-summer finish!
