Re: 68 project
I should, I have quite a few pictures through the stages and a lot of major bumps in the road. Very similar trucks to start with gmc step 400 sb 200r and I'm all about old school!Keep up the good work.

Re: 68 project
It was great to spend some time with the wife this afternoon at the truck shop she got a lot prepped for primer while I worked on some other stuff.

Re: 68 project
Are those willwood D52 calipers and pads. If so how is the inboard brake pad held in place? The reason im asking is because I ordered a set of D52 calipers. People have said they didn't like how pad fit.

Re: 68 project
Yes that is correct, I am not sure yet but I will let you know for sure. I like the quality of the caliper for sure though

Re: 68 project
I will probably get them bolted on either this evening or tomorrow and will post some pics and feedback on the installation. I am going to order the line kit also for the D52 brake calipers.
