Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
I like the Chevrolet dealership tag on the front.
That does look sweet man. I don't see too many of the SRT8's around here. Several TBSS's, but I would like to drive the Jeep to see how it compares. Only advice I can give is to start saving for a set of tires now! |

Congrats, I like the Jeep Dennis! They are fun! I test drove one we had at our dealership for a few days. Loads of horsepower!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Nice man, need some pics of the engine. I still think your c10 will beat that mopar any day. My truck beats the stock SRT8 chargers and challengers all day! Only if I could get the all wheel drive traction off the line.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
slip a front axle under it and add a NVG-149 from a Silverado SS or early Sierra or Yukon Denali. Its one of the best AWD boxes available and will hande big power...plus its full time and non-electronic.
