looks sweet man
Patience is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without acting on annoyance/anger in a negative way; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Yeah I agree Charlie. I really like that master cylinder too. I saw it earlier on in his build and forgot he had it. It looks good. I'm gonna have get me one of those to go with my rear disc brake kit too. Me and Dennis have the same rear disc kit.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
thanks for the comments guys!
Gary, the disc kit is a piece of cake to install buddy. the hardest thing is taking the axles out to get the backing plate off. other than that easy peasy!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
http://www.blackbirdscustomtrucks.com/index7.html thats where i got mine. Randy was a great guy to deal with.
i do know there is a vendor here that copied the blackbirds kits bracket. that may be a cheaper route. idk for sure though.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
well guys... i have been working on her a lot but there just hasn't been much to post about. i got a new cruise control switch from ls1nova
thanks man!! i got the cruise control all hooked up along with getting the tac module mounted. i'm going to leave the computer right in front of the glove box and just modify the box so it secures the computer. i also got the brake booster and master cylinder bolted down. today i ordered some small parts like the gas pedal pad, brake pedal pad, headlight switch and knob, barker booster nipple for the ls intake, and i ordered the brake lines for the front in stainless steel. the ones pictured are a loaner set from Billy thanks bro!so anyways the big accomplishment this weekend was i modded my gas pedal and got it all mounted right in the factory spot!! here's some pics

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
talked to the painter tonight and he had my fenders sandblasted. he's going to repair the rust from the battery and spray undercoating on the inside if the fenders. Thanks Jeff!!!
it is going to look very sweet. and look "finished" with the contrast between the body color and undercoating on the inside. thanks for looking!!
