Thanks Captain!

I'll have one for MCR.

couple shots of the steering clearance (its not done yet) and some of the truck stretching.

got the shackle tubes finish welded, the springs done, and one bumpstop welded in. Ran out of rod, so I gotta get that today










Springs- done
brakes- just need to bleed
steering-done
bumpstops--- half done

Shocks, and license plate tommorow



Gotta get the truck smogged and registered :? Almost done

Sweet.. long way in a short time.. Good job man..

thanks! After tommorow, I can breath easier. finally wrapping up the little stuff

Did ya get the text J?

I did. Thanks, but they're not going to work, they're too long.

flexing a bit in my ditch.

Need to buy shocks, and figure out my brakes.

What's up with the brakes??

Sickkkkkk! Brakes? What's to figure out?

DUDE YOU SHOULD MOW YOUR GRASS I am totally kidding I love the truck looks great man. I wish we were wheelin in with ya

Well... what could it be other than M/C or Booster???? Hole in the line?

If there are no external leaks and you're sure it's properly bled...I would have to say replace the MC.

or air in the system

Yeah, but if he has a 1/2 ton master, then it won't work well. i had the same problem.. The pistons in the calipers and the wheel cylinders are bigger and the 1/2 and 3/4 ton M/C can't produce enough volume and pressure. Gotta go 1 ton M/C..

That is a 1/2 ton M/C.. You will need to get the same era as that master, but in a 1 ton 4x4 non hydro boost.. I think it is the jb7 system ( the 1 ton M/C is shorter and wider with an oval lid) .. Suks trying to stop 8k lbs with 1/2 ton master and 1 ton GM brakes..

Totally true! Also gotta make sure those rear shoes are are adjusted properly too. Otherwise, they travel too far before they hit the drum and take up pedal travel.

Good call Chris!

thanks guys.


Got a pic or something for me Chris? I think I'm going to head to PnP and see if I can find a master in decent shape in the morning. Have to head over to that side of town anyway.

fordh8r. Got that dialed in already.

Personally, I would prefer to see you buy this particular item as new since it is your brakes we're talking about. I realize money maybe an issue but I would rather see you save money on some other part of the build. I'm sure you understand. Just my .02

Cool!

scroll to the last pic in the first post. You will need to reverse your brakelines coming out of the M/C also.

Yup. I just checked some prices, I thought they would be significantly more expensive. I'd probably wind up paying about the same price at PnP!!

New it is!!
