(Another) New Guy 66C10 Stepside
 
Hello All,

Long time lurker, wanted to become "legit". The forum has been VERY helpful with my ride/projects. Invaluable guidance on the following mods;

CPP Disc Brake Conversion and front end rebuild (Note; Stock 15x6.5 rims do not work with the calipers, had to go with Summit Racing Rallys).
2.5" dropped spindles w/ 1" shorter springs, 4" dropped springs in the back.
Master Cyl with Vac Boost
Brake lines (Note: The T fitting on the back axle is special, so either save your old one, or buy a new one up front).
Carb Rebuild x3 (Roc B on a 250 L6) (Note; just go ahead and get the new gas tank, redo of the old one didn't work out so well)
HEI Ignition (thanks for the tip on the resistor wire - removal thereof).

Daughter getting married in Nov at a place called "The Dairy Barn" and she wanted to use my old truck as the getaway vehicle. It's been in storage for about 8 years. I think she was just doing me a favor as she knew I've been itching to get it back on the road (and I can hide some of the $ in the wedding budget)(ha).

Thanks again. Later.
