Oh me likey!

**lolife99** · 02-22-2013, 09:32 AM

Nice!
Are those rotors coated with something?

**cericd** · 02-22-2013, 10:39 AM

Looking good!

Hey Buck, what's the verdict on those axles? I considering ordering a set.

No, just the natural finish. I really should paint the hats, but you can look at my truck and see I'm not much for painting.

They fit well and the materials and construction appear to pretty nice. I think they will work fine, but some miles will be a better test. For $158 delivered they are worth a try.

Very nice truck!

I may have missed it in your thread but I am going to ask anyways. Where did you get your rear end housing? I have an original 67 under my truck and the width is going to require me to run spacers with just about any wheel I look at, unless I buy a custom wheel. It needs to be rebuilt anyways and if I could find a good housing I could buy a cheaper wheel that I like and afford to fix the rear end. Therefore I have been trying to find a wider rear end. Thanks!

I was originally going to build a '70 swb fleet starting with just a frame and a cab. I bought a rolling swb chassis that was a '70 model and had the wider rear axle housing. I am sure you can find one in a salvage yard near you. Good Luck!

shawno72 · 02-22-2013, 09:30 PM

Very nice, what kit did you use?

C10_ustacould · 02-22-2013, 10:16 PM

Shawn, I used the 1967-70 Rear Disc Brake Kit 5-lug w/ E-brake, kit (6772RWBK-5E) from CPP. Probably 75% complete but I am taking the night off, I'll finish up tomorrow.

shawno72 · 02-22-2013, 10:18 PM

Good deal Buck. Don't forget to change your proportioning valve

C10_ustacould · 02-22-2013, 10:21 PM

I think I'm going to do the proportioning valve (pv) mod to my existing pv. Read about on the CPP site.

shawno72 · 02-22-2013, 11:00 PM

Good deal

C10_ustacould · 02-23-2013, 07:46 PM

The jury is still out on my proportioning valve mod, the brakes seem spongy to me. I am done for today, will bleed them some more in the morning and see if I will need to order a disc/disc pv.

I am happy with the wheel placement and the disc brakes look much better than the big ugly drum!

RRC · 02-24-2013, 10:34 AM

Posted via Mobile Device Wheel placement looks perfect!!! Disc brake's really do improve the look!!!

Rusbuilt · 02-24-2013, 10:57 AM

Those wheels look so good!

Portmod7 · 02-24-2013, 12:01 PM

Mmmmmm.... 4-wheel discs, love it! Wheel placement looks great as well.

C10_ustacould · 02-24-2013, 12:48 PM

It's funny you say that, I am thinking about doing a thread about all of the things I believe I've done wrong on this build. Now I need some PB parts to center the rear wheels too, I guess I'm going to have to contact Nate directly.

Thanks, I am trying my best to build a solid driver. You never know, when Rob gets his LS swap done we may just swing down your way for a visit!
