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

joe231 · 09-25-2009, 11:30 PM

No problem Ronnie!
glad I could help

**Captainfab** · 09-26-2009, 01:41 AM

Do you have a pic or two?

Pics sometimes help to figure out what is what.

Finally got all the right part numbers for the disc brake swap.........It was a breeze with the right parts.......Motor going in this week.....

198plus · 09-29-2009, 11:03 PM

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.

Alan's Classic · 09-29-2009, 11:10 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.

This LINK might not be exactly what you want but it will be close.

MacAttack · 10-07-2009, 12:48 PM

Got to say Alan, that last picture on the initial page (4" / 6" DROP) is

Well I installed my engine tonight, headers fit like a glove........But problems exist

I was trying to keep from moving engine forward to next set of holes, But my valve covers hit the firewall with these tall valve covers plus these aluminum heads have a 1/4" raised lip on them.........

I guess I'll use some short valve covers since these heads have the raised lips, they should clear the roller rockers.

jgh64pkup · 10-10-2009, 11:22 PM

looks good

ruffrida2005 · 10-10-2009, 11:33 PM

Looks good, you could always dent the firewall in to clear.

jgh64pkup · 10-10-2009, 11:38 PM

no dont do that NO
