The brake thrashing BEGINS!!! Toooo much go and not enough whoa

[s_nova69]

Well my ole longhorn has plenty of go now with the 421 sbc running well. The brakes on this truck have always been good but have been getting softer over the last few years. But I am always nervous to drive it when it's wet because they will lock up so easily and with even with a small load on board you can feel they could lose it at any second.

So in with the new and out with the old! Going FULL Monty.

Factory disc up front with the larger piston caliper 3 3/16"
Ebc green stuff pads
New ball joints
New shocks
New tie rods
Rear Dana 60 disc conversion using Cadillac lever park brake calipers
New master cylinder
And hydroboost conversion.

Whew!! It should be quite the transformation.

Oh and santa made a delivery that has most of the parts already sourced.

I will make a thread when this is in full swing sometime in march. I am hoping to make a few trips with it next summer maybe to Portland swap meet and hotrodreunion in bakersfield. Who knows.

Stay tuned
