Looks good man. Gauge bezel looks funny without the dash in there. We need to fix that :D

great job on the calipers i like them alot. what did you do with your brake booster? clean up the stock one and paint it or replace it? also do you have a part # for the master cylinder your using? i want to use the same set up in the blazer.

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. .

heres the m/c #. i went with a combination of an fittings... mostly summit. i like them a lot. no leaks or problems. as for the m/c i just bought a new one and had our painter do his thing with it.

Looks great, as usual. Those look so much better than the stock caliper!!! I expect a video of her going down the road :metal:
