It is a Brother's Kit. It's OK. The door trim pieces aren't the best fit and they are expensive if you have to take them off and break any of the tabs (which you pretty much break tabs if you have to take them off). If I had it to do over, I'd look a little deeper into the One Piece Products kit. You could handle the install without much issue, I'm sure. It was one of the first projects we did on the truck and it wasn't too bad. They provide decent instructions too.

Back when we bought this set, the One Piece Products window kit had just come out and it was still unproven. I'm sure by now there is a lot more info out there on it and any problems installers have had.

Anyone know what proportioning valve bracket we need with our booster setup? We tried the one H&H sells buts it falls way short of reaching the booster mounting bolt. In hindsight, it makes sense that this doesn't work because our setup is not the stock booster. I'm thinking we may just have to build a custom bracket.

**67cheby** · 02-05-2011, 04:36 PM

you can get one from cpp about $20 they have ones that hang to the side like stock or one that flips it sideways underneath (thats the one i got)

**67cheby** · 02-12-2011, 03:53 PM

you better be working on this today.....Tuesday we are coming to see it , you still on to meet up with us tuesday evening ??

es67chevy · 02-12-2011, 06:01 PM

Hahaha, I'm going to cram tomorrow. The wife's 30th B-Day is today so I should probably stay away from the truck today. And yes, I'm still planning to meet up with you all. Looking forward to it. I was going to work on it Monday too, but then I remembered that OTHER important day. And here's your fair warning too!!

**67cheby** · 02-12-2011, 06:25 PM

aw...crap i always forget the important days !!

**67cheby** · 02-16-2011, 12:08 PM

Yeah, we had a ton of fun! Thanks for arranging the get together. And you spelled her name right.

Did you have any issues with your brakes with the way you mounted your brake booster and m/c assembly...i did the same on my 72 short wide and i still have crappy brakes!

Eric

Not sure yet. Haven't had a chance to test them. Truck is still missing a motor.

Stay tuned and we'll let ya know.

es67chevy · 02-22-2011, 10:32 AM

OK, first up - the "Good" from the weekend:

Installed FatMat (RattleTrap variety):

And the builders hard at it:

**67cheby** · 02-22-2011, 10:34 AM

well that looks good whats the bad news ??

es67chevy · 02-22-2011, 10:36 AM

Fuel lines were next (Poly-Armour type from Autozone):

The intricate bends needed to get to fitting on top of tank in back of truck:

We had to lift the bed up a bit to get to the top of tank. We went redneck on it. 4x4s and jacks. Worked pretty slick:

Help, I'm trapped:

Left extra on for now until we determine the exact alignment for the turn up. We will use flex hose to the pump and then hardlines out of pump to the carb.

**67cheby** · 02-22-2011, 10:40 AM

well... still looks good

es67chevy · 02-22-2011, 10:40 AM

Now, for the "Bad" - I'm dealing with the ugly realization that I have a van column and not a tilt from another truck. Stupid neutral safety switch is in the wrong place. And column is almost irreversibly installed. Not sure which route we are going to go yet, but I started another thread for help over here:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=448207

If you have any ideas on how to answer my questions in that thread, please share. I'm stumped at the moment. These are the things that slow a build down and discourage its completion. Argh@!!

Man! The car sales must be slow today! Your response was almost posted before I clicked "Post".

**67cheby** · 02-22-2011, 10:43 AM

oh....now i see

**67cheby** · 02-22-2011, 10:47 AM

yep

**67cheby** · 02-22-2011, 10:48 AM

shouldnt you be working also ??

c10/72 · 02-22-2011, 10:58 AM

I had the same problem using the van steering column(price was too good to say no) I have tilt, but no back-up lights and neutral safety...I am thinking about moving the column down and see if that give me enough room to mount the switch...but for right now, I'm running without!

Yeah, we moved the column down too, but still didn't quite give us enough clearance. If we had one more inch, it might make it low enough, but we were pretty close to the gauge cluster in our mockup. I'm wondering if the Painless wiring kit will give us issues if we don't hook up the switch. I'm not sure of all the dependencies.
