I just read through all ninety pages of this thread.
Menace, you are doing an amazing job on this project. And for what it is worth, I have ADD and something REALLY has to catch my attention to spend the time it took for me to follow the progress in one sitting. |

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
dennis i hit u up about your rear brake lines with the kit what did you do. Did you weld the tabs onto the rear end or how is it set up with the wilwoods and the blackbird rear disc brake kit

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
i dont understand what you need to know man... i used the stock brake line that goes on the rear end and the rubber line that came in the kit. i think the rear hose is off of a 76 caddy but you should check in captfabs forsale thread on the d52 brackets. i remember he says what rubber brake lines work in that thread.

Brandon, look for rear brake hoses for a '78 Cadillac Fleetwood. Those will work.

Thats super cool! I guarantee it WILL be in a magazine as a feature one day. And judging by the amazing attention to detail, a cover shot is well deserved!
