SWEEEEET video, i know thats a great feeling. congrats dennis...
question? as far as etiquette, is it ok for my signature to reference another website for my build or should i just start a new thread on this website? I like this one more. Seems like you guys have your facts straight on here... |

Dennis, those videos are sweet! So cool to see it out and rolling. Those engine covers look pretty nice too.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
thank you sooooooo much for referencing the page. i'm on a 200ft dive boat and the internet is slower than snail spunk. Also, it doesn't load ALL pictures. I must have missed those the first time around but i see now.
I've got a 6L80 so i'll have to wait until the cab goes on the frame to see if that setup will work for me(i think the shift shaft sits further back on the tranny). Also, have you heard anyone using these? http://www.classicperform.com/Instru...F/7387RSRB.pdf my frame is cracked on both sides where the rear shocks mount so i ordered some, should fix up that problem area... ps...i'll start a thread here once i get to some high speed internet |
