Dennis I was starting to think that you were the only one to get lucky on CL and find great deals until last night. Got me a lil something too and all for 400. Sorry, I had to brag too.
Now I just gotta learn how to use it

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Awesome man! Youre so close! Mines still a bare frame, these vids just kicked my butt in gear! I cant wait til I'm there....I mustve missed it, but do you have anything done to the motor and trans (cam/stall etc) or is it stock stuff? and was that just open headers? Thanks and keep it up, your builds why I started!
