Re: Sparky's 1978 Silverado Build "Addiction"

Good progress in a few hours late this afternoon and a couple hours after supper. Received some parts from Summit today and a delivery from my Classic Industry distributor (free shipping). From summit I received a new master cylinder, front rubber brake lines and the extraction kit for the rear end retainer bolt that broke off inside the carrier. From Classic Industry I received a full-set of OER exterior trim and the correct dash bezel, looks good! I then cleaned up the passenger side floor, trimmed it to where I wanted it, then traced the new floor from the bottom......Etc.

Pictures:
1. Broke retainer bolt (whatever it's called)
2. Extracted bolt end; way easier than I thought it would be.
3. Cleaned up the floor opening, grinned the areas for the plug welds
4. Test fit floor panel
5. Tacked in the floor. Need to fix a few places where the gap will need patching.

I'm certainly ready to get this thing off the frame so that I can take a brake from the cab for a week or so and work on the frame.

Thanks Mike
