Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

Sorry you had to buy new calipers, but it sounds like you made a good choice for replacements! Look forward to some pics!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

Pssssstt! I still need pictures. "The proof is in the pudding" my friend. I will be waiting for that text on Monday. :)

Dennis,

You're most welcome... ;)

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

Dennis, any chance you're selling those old calipers?

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

i havent really thought about it... they are just the stock D52's that have been ground down and smoothed and painted. 1 of the 4 is stripped where the banjo bolt screws into. and i just went out and took a look at them and there's a few spots the paint has bubbled from the fluid.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

dennis did the wilwood master cylinder bolt right up to the stock booster have a p/n for it im looking into doing all wilwood also, Master cylinder, calipers, pads, and proportioning valve.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

yep they bolt right up man. the m/c part # is 260-8556-bk. the front and rear calipers # 140-11290-bk & 140-11292-bk. let me know if your serious cause the stuffs not cheap and i'll hook you up with the guy up here.

Where is the Pics ? :sumo:

Its been a while but looking good buddy :metal:

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

:lol: the calipers aren't here yet... hopefully monday i'll have ya some pics!!!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

I goggled them i sure like the black d52 one's better than the red one's. Great choice investing money on brake's are never a bad thing. :metal:

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

from what i have priced it will be about 1000 for the master cylinder and red calipers. But that is without the wilwood pads, and proportioning valve. How much is it all costing you??

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

Dennis, where did you get the bulkhead fitting for the front brakes that penetrates the frame rail?

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

are you talking about the rubber line and fitting that goes through the frame rail? if so i just have the line and then i screwed on a huge grade 8 nut instead of the cheesy fake nut from the factory. looks a lot better because the nut is flush with the end of the fitting.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

are you going with disc in the rear also?? if so you'll need captianfab's brackets. i'm going to probably have to modify mine for the wilwoods calipers. like i said before the loaded front and rear calipers is costing me $700... thats with the wilwood BP-10 pads. that should give you and idea of the deal i can get.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

i was planing on going disc in the rear also with the same kit you bought just without the calipers. Why are you going to have to modify your brackets if the brackets you have are for the d52 caliper??

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

idk for sure yet... if you look at captfabs thread you will see. maybe i'll get lucky though

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

:metal: thanks buddy!!! been a long time coming;) i still feel like i haven't accomplished anything for some reason... maybe after i get the calipers on and bled i'll feel better:D

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

That setup looks great! Love those high $$ gauges!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

Gauges look sweet man!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
