Bolted on my front wheels tonight........Sure is nice not having to look at those 6 lug drum brakes.......Still need to put my calipers on and get rid of these small tires.

joe231 · 09-25-2009, 12:38 AM

pics would help....my '80 with 1 1/4" rotors (73-80 are all 1 1/4") has a cut out in the backing plate where it meets the lower arm.

198plus · 09-25-2009, 11:19 PM

Nice talking to you tonight Joe.......Thanks so much for the help.......Now with my disc brake problem solved I'll be able to sleep tonight

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-30-2009, 05:52 PM

Truck is really looking great congrats to all involved in getting her this far..

shortbed70 · 09-30-2009, 06:23 PM

WOW looks great man

198plus · 10-06-2009, 10:30 PM

Have a question........If I use 2" drop springs for front will 4" drop springs in rear get the truck to set level.....Anyone have any pics of this combination

Thanks

srsummers · 10-06-2009, 11:46 PM

I would like to know the same thing. I have already purchased this combo. I have installed the front, but the motor is out so I can't really tell the difference.

jgh64pkup · 10-10-2009, 11:38 PM

198plus · 10-13-2009, 05:11 PM

Ran in to another problem......Figures

....... I posted how good my headers fit and they do, but number two and three cylinder spark plugs hit the headers with the angle plug heads.......So I have to run Accel shorty plugs.....Problem solved, I hope.

4dranch · 10-13-2009, 07:30 PM

If that's your only problem you ought to be thanking the good lord....Congrats. and your rig is looking sharp.

198plus · 10-17-2009, 09:15 PM

Well I got bored today and started bolting stuff back together. New doors fit really well, and new fenders fit pretty good......I'm just trying to get everything put back together to see if I really have a truck

northern 85 · 10-17-2009, 09:27 PM

Lookin Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

scotts62 · 10-17-2009, 09:55 PM

Wow thats looking good with all the new panels

daverod · 10-17-2009, 10:37 PM

Where did you get your fenders. Did they fit ok? Your truck is coming together.

Did you ever figure out why it was uneven in the back?

198plus · 10-17-2009, 11:07 PM

Thanks !!!!!!

Got the fenders from Goodmark, they look pretty good only problem I see I'm going yo have to cut a little place on top lip where it mates with the inner fender so it can slide forward about 1/8" .........I'm pretty sure its the springs I'm going to lower the truck next week, should solve the problem.....I hope

jgh64pkup · 10-18-2009, 12:24 AM

yeah it looks great now but it will look alot better lowered

ruffrida2005 · 10-18-2009, 02:07 PM

Me and Dave are gonna come visit you when you get the pole. gotta see the pink pony

daverod · 10-18-2009, 02:57 PM

I was thinking that's why he's broke. I'll bet that pink pony place could be hard on your wallet.

198plus · 10-18-2009, 02:57 PM

I'm trying to set all the body lines on my truck and I'm not no body man, I need help. I Put my tail gate on and I have a problem, The back left corner of tail gate does not line up.....The other side is fine, I've loosened all bolts to try to line it up and still no luck. I don't think its the tailgate warped at least I hope not after all the money I spent on it......Any suggestions ?????

daverod · 10-18-2009, 03:09 PM

Maybe your truck is warped.

Maybe take your tailgate off and put it on a flat surface to see if it's warped or the truck bedsides. I'll bet you might have to adjust the bedsides alittle. Don't really know.

I think I would try to bend it a little. Put a block of wood on the other side then push on the side that wont shut. Maybe try to get a tree involved somehow.

Looks warped. If you move the other sides bottom out it would help it. Maybe it's one of those ones you just have to slam really hard. I have one on my Ford like that.
