Re: Rear Disc brakes by Blackbirds Custom

Well...Well..Well... Trying to call me out.......

I see how this is going to go.... hhmmm.. Lets really see what I said in the october special sale we did.. Shall we....http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...7&postcount=20


To tell you guys the truth, we have not been thinking of doing a sale this spring. We have been busy at the shop with alot of local customers and sales off of another message board..SSHHH....

As I always state, we are an option out of many on the internet.
You guys do know I will gladly tell you replacement part numbers after you have become a customer.
As for a proportion valve. We leave that up to the customer. It is ultimately thier choice how they want their pedal to feal and work.
I have stated before, I have personally installed over 15 kits on vehicles without changing the valve. All of those vehicles are still on the road with happy customers.
I have sold some kits that people have changed out the valve and said it helped.
I will tell you... If you already have brake problems please try to fix that before ordering a kit from us or anyone else. the thought that rear disc would fix the issue seems to not really fix the issue...

Now back to the post at hand.......
I talked with Randy Blackbird, you know.. 'cause were friends

I am not sure how we could do this. He said if there were atleast 5 people from the board SERIOUSLY interested in getting that same type of deal. He would consider doing it for a 1.. I repeat.. a 1 day sale with the crazy business of the shop right now, we can't afford the time to carry longer than that.

So I ask.. If you are serious about getting the "buy a kit without calipers and get free non-ebrake calipers with them" Then Please PM me..
If i get atleast 5 board members by lets say...........Friday........Then would it be safe to say we could make a date for a day next week for the sale.....

Again.. PM me before by midnight Friday night with what type of kit you are interested in...Please only serious customers..

I don't want part numbers or any kind of insider info, but I would like to 'know' & not assume the size of the rear rotors.

Is it possible to share this info?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

For which kit?

EDIT:
6 lug is 11 5/32 dia
Of course most 3/4-1 ton kits are a standard chevy 3/4 rotor.. Not all..
