Nice talking to you tonight Joe.......Thanks so much for the help.......Now with my disc brake problem solved I'll be able to sleep tonight :dnd:

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

No problem Ronnie!

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

Do you have a pic or two?

Pics sometimes help to figure out what is what.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

Finally got all the right part numbers for the disc brake swap.........It was a breeze with the right parts.......Motor going in this week.....:clap:

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

Bolted on my front wheels tonight........Sure is nice not having to look at those 6 lug drum brakes.......Still need to put my calipers on and get rid of these small tires.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

Have a question........If I use 2" drop springs for front will 4" drop springs in rear get the truck to set level.....Anyone have any pics of this combination

Thanks

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

I would like to know the same thing. I have already purchased this combo. I have installed the front, but the motor is out so I can't really tell the difference.

Sweet looking truck Ronnie!!!

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

Thanks, How did those wheels turn out ??????

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

Well I installed my engine tonight, headers fit like a glove........But problems exist :banghead:

I was trying to keep from moving engine forward to next set of holes, But my valve covers hit the firewall with these tall valve covers plus these aluminum heads have a 1/4" raised lip on them.........

I guess I'll use some short valve covers since these heads have the raised lips, they should clear the roller rockers.
