Thanks!

To about where the toe board meets the firewall. The original firewall mat/insulation were still in primo shape so I didn't mess with it. My burb has been gutted, so I'll go all the way up on it.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

that is what i was thinking with mine since it is bare as the burb. will you just cut around everything or leave an opening with the brake cluster and circuit breaker box.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Rob...
It appears you used braided flex for your entire fuel line setup. Why not aluminum, say from the pump to the firewall?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thats affirmative.

The braided lines made it easier connecting all the components. Plus I already had about 15' of the line, :).

Sorry late posting answers, I kinda lost this thread.....:uhmk:

Thanks!

Thanks J. It's supposed to be here Mon or Tues, but I'll let you know. One more pic....:D.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Looking pretty good.....:metal:
Definetly need some awesome brakes to stop that beast.

What kit did you buy? as I have to do my four wheel disc ASAP as my truck has way too much power and a fast driver for the factory new brake system to stop it...It is ok if just cruising but if I get on it takes a little more road to stop.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Al, I used the same kit that I put on the Suburban, it's the CPP 13" front (with modular spindles) and their 12" rear setup. I am using their MCPV-1 master cylinder also.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks rob....I wonder If I would still be able to use my spindles as I have the ones from ECE?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I think they have a kit that will work with the stock spindle setup but I'm not 100% sure. Call Jeff at CPP and I'm sure he can explain the differences.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Looking good brother. I am coming to Pensacola Friday night. I might come to cruisin the coast next Saturday for the day.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Are you definitely coming down? Let me know.

Looking good, hope I get to see it this weekend:metal:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Robb I should get to Pensacloa about 9PM on Friday.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Rob
Have you driven your truck since you did the brakes ? What's your opinion of the modular spindle ? Any mods that you had to do to use them ? Did they (the spindles ) change the wheel centerline any ? Any other thoughts .... I am looking into spindles and brake options for my 68 swb that I am building .
Appreciate it as always !

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks!

I considered it......:devil:.

Probably not going to happen. Some of the parts I needed to get it back together didn't make it in....:(.

Give me a call.

I still have to put the front spindles on (this weekend) and re-run my new lines when they show up. So it will probably be some time next week.... I did get my rear end cover today, :metal:.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

It's Lookin good Rob .... Be sure and post up with some thoughts and results when you get that far ..!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I bet you did consider it.... That cover is sweet! Those bolts/nuts they push on the carrier right? Not the actual carrier, but you know what I'm talking about.... Does the track bar clear?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

[QUOTE=.... Does the track bar clear?[/QUOTE]


X2

The ECE super track bar doesnt quite clear my braced 9", so Im going to have to do some fabbing to move it out a bit.:waah:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Will do!

The bolts apply pressure to the main caps.

I think this bracket will work:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

That bracket barely clears my stock cover. I'll get a measurement on how much space is there sometime tonight.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Do you have lowering blocks? I'm running a 2" one.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

No lowering blocks, 5" springs. I only have 1/4" clearance. Just trying to help.
