hahah the duck is bad ass back there. As far as the stereo equipment its all kenwood heres a list of what i have:
Kenwood Deck with 3 rca outputs, bluetooth ready, and many other options
Kenwood 4x10 under the dash in the center, 250 watts 3 way
Kenwood 6.5's in the kick panels, 300 watts each 3way image enhancer series
Kenwood 6x9's in back boxes, 500 watts each 5 ways image enhancer series
Kenwood Excelon Series 12 Subs, 1400 watts each shallow mounts
Rockford Fosgate 4 gauge wiring kit with RCA's also
Kenwood 1000 watt amp pushing the subs for now,
To come is a 600 watt kenwood amp for the 6.5's and 6x9's, 2 kenwood excelon tweeters for top of the dash, a kenwood equalizer and a 1800 watt amp for the subs. It sound nice right now but cant wait to get the rest of it finish it all off

Re: 1979 Chevy build
 
Well I should have done research, sadly for once, best buy had one cheaper. but only by 20$ so it doesn't hurt that much haha.
My deck should be here today :). btw love what you are doing with the truck dude. It looks pretty sweet.

Re: 1979 Chevy build
 
No real updates on the truck. Ive just been fixing little things on it my front caliper was stuck so i replaced it and still have the same problem only other thing i can think of it the proportioning valve, Just been having the truck clean and taking it to shows on weekends. Been thinking of putting the step side bed back on should i do it or not??

Check the brake hose before you throw a prop valve at it. Over time, the brake fluid eats the insides of the hoses.

54Caddy 06-08-2010 06:03 PM

Re: 1979 Chevy build
 
New hoses when i built the truck man. Everything is new except the valve. Master cylinder and booster and now calipers and all hoses. Going to do the rear brakes later today once it cools down then attack the valve tomorrow.
