3.0 killer

On the front 60, that is a dually front so you won't need to recenter the H1's.. Just get spacers for the rear.. there use to be a company that made rear spacer kits to convert reg rear axles to dually axles..

Also, Is that a 1/2 ton M/C?? If so and you plan to drive this on the street also, you will want to get the 1 ton non hydroboost M/C. I had to because the 1/2 ton master couldn't produce the volume to push the 1 ton front calipers good enough.

I'm actually going to get some SRW hubs for the 60. I want to be wide, but I don't think I want to be that wide

Bought the M/C from a guy on marlin, he said it was a 1 ton MC. I'm honestly not positive that it is, but it is supposed to be. Got it for a really good deal, so I'm not too worried about it.

I think it will be about the same if you don't recenter the wheels and use the dually outers.. Not sure though. I know the H1's are 7 inches of back space.

I had pucker factor when i needed to stop hard with my 1/2 ton M/C and 1 ton brakes..

Looks like it's workin out.. Now you can use that spool you got from Rob for the front..

Could use a hand here. I've got some diagrams, but they're not exactly clear on this. The brakes were in real bad shape, some of the springs and such were rusted and broken or just flat out missing. Can someone give me a tip on how these brakes look, and what to do with the rest of the pieces? I haven't done much with domestic drum brakes before.

Thanks!








We'll see how the brakes turn out. If I need to change them, I will. Using the spool is the plan :yesnod:

sorry, not familiar with ford rear 60 brakes..

when i get home Ill try to get some better pics for ya

well i think the purple spring goes shoe to shoe over the star wheel
looks like your missing the self adj. hardware
there should be a cable guide under the dbl grn spring where it hooks to the shoe
and the blue spring hooks from the adjuster to the opposite shoe
the horseshoes lock the self adj. hardware to the pins
and i would smear a little grease anywhere there is metal to metal contact
especially shoes to backing plate

good chit right there man

Thanks Rob!

no prob
any time

Got the parts I needed at PnP.

Truck is back on 4 wheels. Gonna weld the rear end and finish up the gears on Tuesday, then all that is left in the rear is brake lines.
Hopefully going to weld the hanger on Tuesday as well.

Tire the truck's been sitting on for 6 mos.

Finally welded in my tunnel cap (been sitting on top of the carpet, sheetmetal screwed down) and sealed it with roofing sealer

Doing a little cleanup before rebuild.

I keep telling him he'll enjoy it when its done. He just wants me to throw the damn ball already

Quality stablizer mount


This side is a tad dirtier than the other




Got my hanger cut down

Sweet, prolly has some serious death wobble.. Make sure that you replace those springs with new ones unless your buying udjustable Hy-steer arms..

Check Partsmike.com for them..
