New plate for my firewall.

daverod · 10-16-2011, 09:02 PM

I think I'm going to go with Scottshotrods under the dash mount for my brake stuff.

I need a 7" booster, double vette style MC and valve for disk/disk.

Strodder · 10-16-2011, 09:59 PM

Nice setup. I know Justin the owner of Scotts Hotrods. I'm not impressed with him, but he has some kewl $hit.

daverod · 10-16-2011, 10:07 PM

Slam:

Hay, he saved me some$$$$. I'm a hater too. I hate everyone equally.

Does solve a lot of problems.

Strodder · 10-16-2011, 10:11 PM

I don't hate him, he's just weird. Did you talk to him? He has a funny voice when he talks to people, but that's not his real voice.

From the San Fernando Valley (Reseda) to Santa Barbara was my area when I worked for Snap On Diagnostic. Ventura and Oxnard was right in the middle.

daverod · 10-16-2011, 10:21 PM

I just talked to him on email. Did'nt notice anything weird.

I did hear him on TV once though.

I did'nt know he had two voices. That is weird.

Maybe I'll get my mount from some other place.

daverod · 10-16-2011, 10:26 PM

"He has a funny voice when he talks to people, but that's not his real voice".

That's too funny. Who's he talking to when he uses his real voice?

Strodder · 10-16-2011, 10:50 PM

Customers.

57truckguy · 10-16-2011, 11:04 PM

that is without a dought the most unique firewall I've ever seen

daverod · 10-17-2011, 09:40 AM

Picked up a EZ harness from ebay. Went with Scotts under dash mount, booster, MC and valve. Only cost about a bill more than the frame mounted kind. I think it will save me a lot of headaches.

Thanks Guy. I love the plate look.

Someday I'll build a house covered with plates.

Shut up.

Like running the brake lines? Or the mount holding the dash,or the thing that opens the cool little air vent.Haha

57truckguy · 10-18-2011, 12:39 AM

I used the EZ Wire kit for pickups, found it very easy to install.. just follow the directions, One wire at a time, take your time, and solder all connections and cover with shrink tubing. Makes it almost bullet proof..

I went with the firewall mounting booster and have been very happy with it. Felt that there wasn't enough room under the dash and wanted to get it up from the frame...

Ordered my conversion from IC Industrial Chassic in AZ, Steve great guy to work with and really into trucks.. Also got a kit to put a 95 Dodge Dakota front end under my truck without cutting the frame. 12" disk brakes, power rack and pinon stearing, and A arms. If I ever need parts just go to the dodge dealer and order.

57truckguy · 10-18-2011, 12:43 AM

Daverod, you know I keep looking at that firewall and there seems to be something missing,, must be the indiana plate...

rolling on floor laughting my a@@ off.

daverod · 10-18-2011, 05:09 PM

Done.

If it was only that easy. I knew I would'nt be the only one to have a underdash booster.

BShort · 10-18-2011, 05:17 PM

Slick! Question, how do you add more/check brake fluid after you get everything back on the dash?

Did you look inside the cab? I'll bet I have one in there. Or in the bed of my 64.

A big hypo? They make remote reservors. I don't really know. yet. I bet you could do it through the glove box. How often do you really have to fill it anyways.

BShort · 10-18-2011, 05:19 PM

Looks trick!

daverod · 10-18-2011, 05:22 PM

Makes running the exhaust easy. But it kinda opens a can of worms.

Then go fishing

Strodder · 10-18-2011, 06:32 PM

BTW, it looks good.

daverod · 10-18-2011, 06:43 PM

Mines in the mail still. Thats just a picture I found. you aready knew that though. What kinda flex plate do I need? How many teeth or does it really matter.

72Mountaineer · 10-18-2011, 07:53 PM

What are the downsides of that brake setup? I'm trying to decide a setup for my '53. Nice pics !!
