Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

wow.....this has come a LOOOONG way! and it looks great! I went through all 94 pages but I didn't read all of the comments.....how long do you think it took you total to rewire everything? I've never done it before and I'm considering doing the upgrade to a EZ or Painless just do to the sorry condition of the wires I have now....hopefully I'm not in over my head since I do have the patience of the guy who invented patience.....I just don't have the experience
Love your truck man...
