JohnC is far from the camera police! Back when he had a build thread, it was MONTHS between picture updates .

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

once the covers are on you wont be able to see the harness and grommet. i also got a new heater core today and i tried to get it in so i could get the heater box mounted but ran into problems getting the old heater core out. really bad day out in the garage! friday the 13th for sure. tried to do a number of other things like the oil and temp sending units and everything i touched just went to hell so i decided to quit before i did some "remodeling" to the garage!

tomorrow morning will be better

Guess I'm gonna have to get some fender cover for wrenching on that thing.

I really like the attention to every part on your truck. It will be better than a new ride when your done. Keep the pics coming! Looks great!
dang, sorry to hear about the scratch buddy. when things go to crap i just go lay down with the dogs and go to sleep
