Check the listing for the brake hoses for a '78 Cadillac Fleetwood or Eldorado. Those should work.

Random question, what did you do for your harness for the 5.3l? Did you have someone work the original harness?

Dennis...waiting on the pics.
 Got your PM, I'll call you once the kids are in bed, about 7 your time. PS - yes, the trim ring comes off the large gauges too.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
huh... i just went and looked at them again. i think the flash of the camera makes the little bit of epoxy on the volt gauge stand out. i sure cant see it just looking at it. what do y'all think??? the small 2 1/16" gauges look alright in there??
