I think your booster is on upside down Not sure if it matters.

You may have done it on purpose for hiding the vaccum hose

That is looking real nice!!

toms68cst · 05-30-2004, 01:03 PM

Nice work! I really like all the effort you are putting into the details.

boraxman · 05-30-2004, 02:12 PM

Looking good. Are those Corvette wheels? If so you must have changed the bolt patteren?

ChevyDude · 05-30-2004, 04:48 PM

I believe the wheels are the Corvette 32 series w/ lug pattern to fit our trucks. I bought them from a seller on ebay who is out of Florida,(super nice guy). He had to order them for me, but I had them in about 2 weeks. Cost was $60 a wheel including shipping....so...$240.00 and 2 weeks and I they were here.

Thanks again you guys for the kind words! Dinnut...this is a daily driver project that is way out of control! As you guys can see, it was not a frame off resto, but just about everything else has been done or will get done. I'm almost sorry I did not take the cab off and paint the frame. If I know me...I'll be on a creeper washing and painting the frame. My 4x4 SWB is going to be a complete frame off 1 year project (that's what I will shoot for)!

looking great

ChevyDude · 05-31-2004, 12:18 PM

I did change the booster around so the Delco-Moraine reads right side up, and so I can hide the vaccuum line....slightly. Does anyone know if it matters? Why the heck is the Delco-Moraine stamp on the booster upside down? Anyone know?

That sure looks great. On your brake booster - what type of prep did you do prior to paint?

ChevyDude · 06-01-2004, 11:26 AM

Booster: Dis-assemled it, Soda blasted, rattle can primed, light sand, rattle can Rustoleum Hammered Gold paint.

I tried to go budget on a few things, it would have been nice to have a cadium plate finish...but somethings just don't happen! I am happy with the results of my budget booster.
