Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
It's funny you say that, I am thinking about doing a thread about all of the things I believe I've done wrong on this build. Now I need some PB parts to center the rear wheels too, I guess I'm going to have to contact Nate directly.
Thanks, I am trying my best to build a solid driver. You never know, when Rob gets his LS swap done we may just swing down your way for a visit!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I am going to have to collect up some more parts first, mainly lower ball joints a new sway bar. Shouldn't be too awful long.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Check Rockauto for the ball joints, they were half of the price of the local parts stores.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I think you are spot on with that suggestion Rob, Thanks! You don't happen to have a sway bar that will work with PB arms do ya?

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Well, the test drive went okay but there was a glitch. The pads were rubbing on the "hat" portion of the rotor. Luckily my test drive was to a friends house so we pulled the wheels and calipers off and ground the backing plates on the pads for clearance. Another test drive and the ride home went well. Here is a pic of the groove the pad had started to make.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Love the truck! This is one of my favorites. If you don't mind me asking, what did you use for the shift linkage from column to tranny?

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I saw where a guy lengthened the arm on the column to get his to be in the correct position on the indicator, apparently it works, however I don't know if there is a "correct" way to do it and if that's it or not, that's up to the engineers to argue over.

Well, with this government sequester thing looming I might have some spare time on my hands. My visit might be sooner than later!
