Great looking build Al. Mind if i ask how good your brakes are without a boost? I want to go 4 wheel disc and like the boosterless look but don wanna suffer some performance ya know

**67cheby** · 11-15-2011, 10:14 PM

I have driven this truck fir three Years with a factory style master manual master cylinder with disc up front and drums in the rear the pedal is hard but the truck stop as good as it could get. The truck is almost finished and once I get my wheels I will let everyone know how great,good or bad these brakes perform. Thanks !!!!!

Well tonight we decided that it was time to just finish the brakes before the holidays got here then there would be no time to play with the truck. I could not decide where to install the proportioning valve I thought I was set in putting iit in the frame somewhere then we dedided that the easiest place to install it would be right off the master cilynder and call it a day. we went ahead and remade that line one more time installed the proportioning valve on it installed the clamps for both lines bled the brakes checked for leaks and I think that we can say that the brakes are FINISHED!!!!! of course I have to drive it and make adjusments on the valve, the pedal feels good where is at.

The life of my story still waiting on wheels I am about to call Coys and buy another set till my wheels decide to show up.

here are some crappy cell picts to show the final assy.
