It's tomorrow. :chevy: Waiting for that ticket.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Fighting brake assembly.....coming though...jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Nice build. I'm in

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Little of today's work....got rear brakes and panhard rod installed ....rearend squared to frame and front to back (wheelbase check)..should roll down road straight!....need longer bolts for front calipers to be mounted permanently but left drivers on for pic....

Would like to take moment to thank Tobin Knighton at Kore 3 for answering my emails on Sunday of all days!!...Class act and if any of u are wanting to run big brakes and other components I can't tell you how good these guys are...He got me straight on my bearing retainers today after over 2 years having past since purchase!!.......more this week.....jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Jim, everything is looking great..Jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Looking good sir!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

clean :metal:

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Very nice!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Looks awesome Jim, :metal:

Can't tell by the pics, are you running a inner drum e-brake system?

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Looking fantastic Jim! I'm really jealous right now!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Yes sir ...that is the kit that kore 3 makes...man it is a piece of work....lokar cables that will be run down the control arms connected with the same collars used for accuair level sensors like the one in pic...Will drill and tap those large ones and figure out a bolt on attachment for the cables.....more this week...jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Really good to know. I also have kore 3 but they did not have a e-brake rotor available yet for the 5x5.

Good idea on the clamps. I have them in preparation for my accu air install, I guess I will need a couple more..

Keep up the great work!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

good to know......yeah those clamps are cool...stole that idea from belowme51 build....jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Couple more pics after brakes....brake lines not connected yet!..goin to be running rear lines..wires..and working drivetrain all at same time!! and honey-does mixed in!!.........oh boy.......jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Getting better all the time...Jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Amazing Jim. That frame Looks killer.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Very nice!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

That frame looks amazing man. This build just keeps getting better

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

All I can say is.... Wow!!! The quality of craftsmanship is top notch. I love the ingenious ways you use things, like the motor stands, other than their intended use. I am going to use the motor stand idea for my chassis when I go to paint it. Keep up the good work.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

That chassis is a masterpiece!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

I don't know about that but i would vote those mirrors as masterpieces..I may be your 1st customer for this truck....the stems may be a little tricky but we will see hopefully soon...I'm watchin!! jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Chassis looks amazing !

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Few more today....Boyd's tank installed....batteries and accuair tanks and compressors.....Still lining out wiring and brake lines....waiting on parts....jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

looks like a repulsorcraft from star wars :mmmk: :metal:

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

I may have missed it but can u give more details on the front brakes?

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Looks great Jim...Jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Zo6 ....bought calipers,rotors,spindles,hubs and brackets from Boris (way2lo) .....good guy...also can get from Tobin at Kore 3.....rotors are 14" with 6 piston calipers...Tell u how anal Boris is about these...He insists on assembling the spindles and hubs himself before shipping...so never to have someone install bearings improperly..........jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Looks like a work of art. Too nice to cover with a body....

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

The more parts you put on the better and better it looks. Keep it up.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Nice looks great

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Your chassis looks super nice! Great work!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Thanks Jim! I would be honored!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Got the stainless brake lines installed...in front was able to install "thru the frame" ...line works great in any position of spindle and whether slammed or in full up mode...(and it's not that close to shock as it looks..bends nicely on turns)...rears may surprise some but works like front ....any position of rear end they clear..still waiting on mastercool flaring tool for hardlines....and last if you haven't seen this 7 conducter wire for rear section here it is....has 6 14 gauge wires and 1 12 gauge wire (fuel pump)...No harness wrap needed...more on this in couple of days...jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Looks great, what length brake lines did you go with front and rear.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

It's the ones Boris sent...all 4 are the same..will measure in am.....jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Brake lines look great. Is your rear wiring for a trailer application? That's what I usually get too.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Yes and it works great AND I was able to run both it and 2 gauge battery cable down drivers side THRU THE EXTREME C-NOTCH....lot's of work with a helper but it is INSIDE the frame rail completely.....think i will start a thread on what needs to be done before final assembly of notch to make this easier for those who follow!!....pics tomorrow...running another 2 gauge down pass. side straight to starter...dr. side will run rest of truck....Batteries are common grounded to frame and positives will be tied together....second set of leads to go to charging posts at pass. rear taillight (which opens to reveal) to make that chore easier if u ever need a jump.....jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

All are 16".........jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

I wish I had known about that wire. That is slick, I just ran the original wire and a seperate wires for fuel pump and sender. Thanks for sharing
