Re: bsm78 swb build
been able to drive the truck home which is a couple miles from the shop.
wiring has been a little of a booger. went ahead and replaced brake hoses and put new calipers and master cylinder on so i know i get get this bucket of metal stopped. also threw on a pair of summit headers and a mr gasket air filter. new alt, plugs, plug wires, radiator hoses.

Re: bsm78 swb build
I am undecided wheather or not to stick with the 68 front clip or put whats suposed to be on it which is 72. i dont know if it will ever be a show truck but i plan to make it a good looking daily driver.
