Brought the truck home today. Now the labor of love really begins.

"Pete's Auto Glass", the shop nextdoor, is one of the retailers of flush mount and single piece side windows. I'm going to replace the roof and shave the driprails, then it'll go to Pete's.

That rear end cover is awesome! I may have to get one for my k20 project.

Did a colonoscopy of the rear end to make sure it in good shape. Confirmed a locker and 4.10 gears. Installed the diff cover and throttle return spring.

Very nice! I'm interested to hear how well the grill shell fits the fenders and hood.

I removed all of the rotten wood bed and peeked back at the rear axle while driving. The axle wrap was horrible. It was twisting way up under acceleration. I'm counting on these to solve that problem:

Any idea what parts they used to put disk brakes on the Eaton rear end? I wouldn't mind doing this on my Eaton rear.

Thanks,

To the best of my knowledge, this is an Eaton rear. Disk conversion is visible by the wheel. Does anyone make a cast heatsink cover?

Thanks for the link. Also glad to see they put the part numbers on there for the rotors and calipers. Takes a lot of the guess work out of it.

Thanks to 19GMC63"s Photoshop skills, here's a pretty good idea of my goal. The tank filler will also be shaved, but that's a minor detail.

Any thoughts?

I am a Suzuki fan, so I'm shooting for something to compliment the TL1000R.

Hey Ricky. I thought that username looked familiar. Cheers, bud!
