Wow, looks like a nice truck man. (Minus the smash. ;)) A forced induction 454 would be nuts in there. I look forward to the continuation of this build. Thank you for your service in the US ARMY (based on Ft Knox & Relaxin Jackson). Keep at it man. :thumbs:

Re: my official 78 swb build thread from from wrecked to now
 

Wow looking good dude!
What are your plans for this?

Re: my official 78 swb build thread from from wrecked to now
 

Sorry, I fixed some spelling and such. But since you already answered the question about your plans I thought I would help you out. It was kinda tough to read around the pictures.

Re: my official 78 swb build thread from from wrecked to now
 

Oh thanks for gathering those lol, Should have read this more carefully.

Well this will be a nice truck, can't wait to see it finished.
Wish my truck would come a long faster.

Re: my official 78 swb build thread from from wrecked to now
 

yeah im lazy with the correct spelling i text so much. ft jackson was weak lol thats where my ait was... i cant wait for it to start getting warmer so i can paint it

Re: my official 78 swb build thread from from wrecked to now
 

Yeah it is bad weather here too. my fathers truck is the garage hog so I can't ever do anything in there...My truck just gets surface rust as it rains lol.

Re: my official 78 swb build thread from from wrecked to now

Re: my official 78 swb build thread from from wrecked to now
 

Haha good stuff, If I were to do that in truck....the tires would blow out.
Lol.

Re: my official 78 swb build thread from from wrecked to now
 

well i think this is getting traded for an 87 suburban with a 10 inch all spring lift with 38.5s

Re: my official 78 swb build thread from from wrecked to now
 

Looking really good man. Keep at it.

Re: my official 78 swb build thread from from wrecked to now
 

Aww really? That's a bummer. I mean the burbs are cool. but this truck would be worth a lot more down the road and way more bad ass :metal:

Re: my official 78 swb build thread from from wrecked to now
 

found out it has a recon title not worth much to anyone
