Funny thing is I had a front and rear set that were 5 x 4.75, but some dude from Gilbert bought them. Then sold the fronts & last I heard he is trying to get re-motivated on his project!

Ahhhh you dont say.... WOW! That is pretty funny man Well do you regret selling those brakes now? The rears are still on the truck but the fronts came off like a week after i put them on. I wanted the red calipers too! My new front brake setup KILLED my truck fund so ive kinda backed off of it for while.

If your build is for "cruising" purposes then captfab brakes will definitely do the job. And a red D52 wilwood caliper upgrade should give you just enough "cool" factor as well.

[QUOTE=c10seconds;4448825] Well do you regret selling those brakes now?

Not really because they were 5x4.75 - I probably could have traded them in on 5x5 - but it's all good! Glad they went to good use

Man oh man.... Seems like I can't break out of the "two weeks" mold. When it was just me welding up the parts, I did my best. Now even with my guys, we are so busy that it's tough to get it out the door any quicker. I could always higher more help, but it takes a lot to find the "right guy". I will never sacrifice quality just to be able to say "a week-and-a half"! LOL

Thanks Keith, I put the call into Nate last week and pulled the trigger on the front arms!

I was looking at Hazel the other nite - she is soooo my inspiration for this build!

What is your thoughts on brakes???? I was all into the Wilwoods (D-52's), but with NO e-brake & a 3 -on-tree I would prefer it!

Anyway - I am looking at the McGaughy's 13" and the CPP 13". I have been told the McGaughy's will work with the Boss 338's that I am going to run, but I am not sure about the CPP set up. Maybe I will put a call into CPPJEFF.

I like the look of those RED calipers looking through the rims, so we'll see
