I'm just getting back to work, was out for two and a half months recuperating from surgery on my arm. I tore the bicep tendon off of my forearm and they had to reattach it.

Yes

How the heck did you do that?

Happy to come by for a bit, if you have time?

Lifting a peace of pipe at work and it hit something, stopping it abruptly and putting all the force on my bicep muscle & tendon, tearing the tendon from the bone. They drilled a hole through the bone and screwed the tendon back into it.

I'll find out abut the alarms on Tuesday... LOL

I installed dome & cargo lights and wiring a couple weeks back. I also ordered the rear disc brake brackets from Captain Fab for the D52 calipers, I'll be installing the eldorado calipers with the e-brake. I have a set of his comaro brackets but don't like the e-brake cable setup. That;s about it for now !

Sorry you didn't like the Camaro set up I gave you.

I am not a fan of El Dorado calipers. I have been doing late model disk brakes, with the parking brake in the drum of the rotor. I have those if you like?

It's not an issue, I'm just very particular about what I want on my truck. What was fine a few yrs back has change know for me just by looking at other people's threads and seeing new products. I can do the elderado calipers and utilize the factory emergency brake cable brackets and it appears more stock.
Just fits my wants better.

It's been about 2 yrs since I've touched the truck until a few weeks ago. I started with cleaning the garage so I could get to the truck and find my tools. I completed the rear disc brake conversion and I'm currently working on going through the front end completely.
Phone won't let me upload any pictures, on vacation right now. I'll see if I can when I get home.
