My 79 Build...

[same_me]

I'm new to the site and thought I would put up a build on my 79 Silverado. Just to get everyone up to speed I'll tell a little about it. My wifes uncle owned this truck from 87 until about a month ago when I bought it from him. It was all original. The only thing that had ever been changed on it was the sliding rear glass and a chrome tip put on the exhaust. When I got the truck it needed alot of clean up and repair but ran great and drove unbelievable. You cant tell by the paint but the truck was taken really good care of. As soon as I got the truck I tore into fixing everything that was tore up and fix up some things I wanted done to it. Here's some pics of what I've done.

The day I brought it home...

New Fuel Pump

New Alternator

Repainted the taillights...

Knocked a dent out the fender and replaced the marker light...

New MAgnaflow w/chrome tip....

Repainted the grille and painted the headlight bezels...

Repainted the wheels and refinished the center caps...

Change the steering wheel for a 92 leather wrapped one...

Redone the headliner....


I've still got alot to do but I think I'm off to a good start. Let me know what you think....
