Wow your brakes look way better than mine, guess I shouldn't have been so cheap by just painting mine black, should have gotten them powdercoated too.

**67cheby** · 03-15-2011, 09:44 AM

Awesome !!!

**lolife99** · 03-15-2011, 10:06 AM

Great looking truck!
I've circled 2 of my favorite shop tools, that I noticed in your picture.

I love the DeWalt 18v flashlight,... and that stuff in the blue can.
Looking forward to more pics.

Hey Jake - I took the fam up there Sunday, it was pretty slow. I talked with a few buddies and they said Sat was "packed"!

I bought rims through HID Solutions - he is the one who had the group buy going on this forum. I didn't go with the group buy - just bout through his website - It took about a month to receive them, but I knew i wasn't in a crazy hurry to get them. Good luck.

You going to have your druck done for Nov?

Lolyin58 · 03-16-2011, 11:57 PM

Very coool ride!

CheyenneShop · 03-18-2011, 10:21 PM

Well it looks like a few board members are going up to the "Pavillions" next weekend so I will try and get Picacho up and running to roll up, unless 3 kids on Spring Break thinks otherwise

What's left to get on the road - for now:

I ripped a rear break dust seal - so I have a new one coming in, once in I will replace.

Tie in rear brake line to axle line - I need a 23" 3/8 steel braided. (any body have any recommendations - company, brand they like?)

Bleed brakes X4

Bump stops for rear - probably just 1" er's

ebrake cables - the one that came with my kit are about 10" to short!!!

Change oil filter over to modern screw on type

Alignment

Rear wheel spacers - since the offset is so much on the Boss 338 - I am going to add an 1" on each side. As is I have 1/2" of room till tires are hitting inner rear fenders - too close!!! (anybody have a recommended company?)

Install new steering wheel

Put bed back on

I think that is it! Maybe if I get a good day in next week and can knock most of it out - I will keep ya posted - Ronnie
