Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
They look really good with the rubber mounted. But man those discs look tiny compared to that big ole wheel. Diggin the red calipers too. I wonder if you could paint them to match the body color?

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Man your truck is going to be sik with all the details you have put into it. I can't wait to see the end result. How long before you get the sheetmetal and cab back from paint? I want to see how the TBSS Red Jewel turned out. I'm thinking of using that color with my two tone paint scheme.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Nice build... I've been reading this whole build from page one and im definitely more confident for when I start mine, 83 lwb c10. Dennis, If you had to total everything up so far what would you say the cost is? Just curious.
I see you have a Goat, very nice. I sold my 05 GTO (sap) a month ago, i hated to see it go. Good luck with everything else, thats if u need it, looks like you always have a handle on things. |

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
thanks guys! y'all keep me going!
CoreyLeo223, what an awesome 1st post man. i apprieciate your comments and i'm happy this novel has helped you feel more comfortable in tearing your truck down ![]() as for the total cost... i went through a few reciepts just to jog my memory and wrote a list of the big purchases. i cant believe the number i'm looking at right now! $13700 with the paint.... ![]() just keep in mind this has been going on pretty consistant for 18 months now. i'd like to say im at least 1/2 way there. once the painter is done doing his thing she will start coming together. as for the goat, its a love/hate thing... ![]() if you ever need any help or advice or have any to give feel free to post up buddy. there is a great group of guys i consider friends on here who are always ready to help ![]()

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Look at it this way dennis, your not even halfway to the cost of a new fully optioned truck. You will have a brand new truck when your done though...
