Re: My 52 GMC Build
Well over the weekend the fam and I went to visit the inlaws. I had about $2000 of parts delivered to a friend of there's in the US. They go down about 5 times a year with there 5th wheel and brought all my parts back. (Saved shipping to Canada and duty):metal: So I got all my rubber seals from LMC, my custom headlights, cab heater, door vent windows, LED tail lights and all my intake piping for the intercooler. Let the fun begin.

So today I painted and mounted my sway bar. Have to make some A arm mounts tomorrow to attach the sway bar. Also pulled the spindles off and got them modified for putting my Willwood brakes on. It says to cut the caliper ears off and drill and tap the 2 holes to move the caliper out for the bigger disks.

Today I got the passenger side all put together. New 3/8" rubber air line did away with the push lock, sway bar mount and hooked up, new bolts for suspension, and Willwood brakes.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Very nice! When's your time in the booth?

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Very nice lowers....but a set of Alcoa 19.5" wheels would look so sweet on that truck.

I have to thank my friend Joe for helping me put my windows in last night. He has the tools and knowledge that made it a piece of chocolate cake. Rear window was in in less than half hour and the front a little longer.
My helpers last night cleaning the crud off windows. Attachment 1468186 Attachment 1468187 Attachment 1468188 This tool was for putting the lock bead in the rear seal.:clap: Attachment 1468189 Then we had to put the visor back on.:metal: Attachment 1468190 |

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Do you know what size the piston bore is on your Wilwood calipers. I am building my own front setup and was wondering what the kits came with, 1.38 or 1.75?

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Good looking brake upgrade. Gotta love big shiny disc brakes. Also like the idea of putting the kids to work cleaning windows.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

Bought my batteries last night. I have been working on finishing up the wiring in the bed, looks great. The big continuous duty relay is for my compressors. The little cube relay is for my trans cooler and the bolt is a chassis ground. This is one reason my batt trays are so big. I also hooked up my 3/8" rubber air line to the front that I replaced when I did the brakes. I installed flow controls for down on the front and up on the rear so I can make it go up and down evenly. Air gauges are mounted just beside vent leaver.

Last night I got the box together I'm trying to get some parts back on so they aren't lying around getting scratched. In the front where the hinge for the bed goes I put in some 1/4" nut certs. Then to fit the tailgate first 2 bolts in bumper then 2 more through apron then tailgate can go on and tighten it all down. LOL
Also installed cowl vent :) Attachment 1468469 Attachment 1468470 Attachment 1468471 Attachment 1468472 |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
Looking really good!!!! I really like this truck, lots of creativity within the entire thing.
Did you go with the 12.19" rotors or bigger? love the Wilwood stuff. Also was just checking back on your "scrapers"..... you should get yourself some magnesium plates and add them to the bottom, so when you drag bottom you can shower the night with pretty colorful sparks!!!! :metal: |

Re: My 52 GMC Build
I cant believe you dont have an engine driven compressor on that diesel. I know someone makes one! it will change your life, you know what the recovery time is for a lift? 12 SECONDS. 12. if you have a leak and your tank goes empty overnight, filling from slap empty is under 2 minutes.
I love how the inside tires are even with the bed wall, gave me a chuckle. |
