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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Few more pics after today's work...wires pulled thru frame and ready to terminate at batteries..that ugly (right now at least) 1" tube will carry crossover battery lead and wires to pump and sending unit will grommet out of tube (no holes done for that yet)....anyone guess what grommet that is bringing up positive cables??.........pcv valve cover grommet...works perfect...........strung cables down frame rail...pass side is straight to starter lug....dr. side powers powers rest of truck....black cable is 7 conductor for rear lights..pump...sending unit...................jim

I did ground one lead from the tank sender to the frame. I did the same for the fuel pump. I hope I did it right. The stock lead for the sender was only about 12" long so it made sense to ground it by the tank.
Frame looks great BTW.
