Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
I don't think you are supposed to add up the reciepts. You only keep them for warranty.
I have actually taken a bit of the opposite approach with my truck. When I was building my Blazer, I bought a lot of stuff, and ended up giving a lot of it away when I got divorced. There were a lot of NOS parts that I would love to have now. Anyhow, I am trying to keep my '79 as low buck as possible. It seems to be working. I have been enjoying scavenging stuff here at work and trying to make it work. I have quite the pile of stuff in my garage.

It will be ok Dennis! You will forget all about all the money spent when you fire it up and go on the first road trip.

You know every nut & bolt on this truck and know the work that has been done is up to your standards. Just think how much it would have cost you to have a shop do the work you have done. I bet you would have closer to $25k into what you have sitting in your garage. Keep up the good work. It will be well worth the time & money you have into it.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
I work in a shop for a living and do some street rod stuff on the side with a good buddy of mine and you would be LUCKY to get what you have so far for anything less than 15K. You are well ahead of the ball and that is going to be one of the nicest trucks on this board when youre finished. Makes me want to crush mine knowing it'll never be as nice as Dennis' truck!
