Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Well, both rear calipers are on, but I'm still waiting for one ebrake cable...
I re-configured my rear shocks to allow full rear travel without shock limitations. More detail on that here. Here's the result: ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
No flex lines yet. I'm going to install the disc/disc prop valve bleed the brakes and drive it to be sure there are no other issue to be resolved first. Also, to be honest, I want to see how much movement we're talking about here. I'm sure the flex lines are ultimately the right thing to do, but I need to be fully convinced

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Love the build. I was wondering what you were going to do next. You could have 12'' of snow and 28 degrees as your highest temp for two weeks!

![]() I might have missed it, but what sort of latching mechanism will you be using for the rear tailgate now? It seems a shame to cut a hole for a center-mounted one now that you've got that area so nice and smooth... perhaps a set of side-mounted ones? Will you use the stock release button somehow or go with a solenoid or cable actuated dealio??? Awe-inspiring build.... I'm getting impure thoughts about my own '72 Burb now. ![]()

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
I do believe this has convinced me to do a 20/22 combo when I redo my truck. Now as to when that'll be is another question...
Regardless this thing is awesome, I've showed a lot of my buddies your work and they've all been amazed, just like me.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
I always thought 20's would be the biggest I go with but the 22 rear really sets it off. I think anything over 20 in the front starts looking to bling, but that's just me. Everyone has their own tolerances for these things. Some guys would never put anything over 15s on these trucks...
BTW nice Avatar! ![]() |

I had planned running 18/20 on mine, with a 29" tall tire on the front, but money decided otherwise. I'm really happy with my 17's, and they allow me to sit pretty low without cutting the truck up (which I have neither the skill nor the money to do... yet ![]() |

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Finaly had a break in the rain and bled the brakes and drove it with the new discs and rear shock config.
First, the ride is outstanding! Good rear suspension really make a difference in ride quality. With the rear floor still out I can really hear what's going on back there and the rear brakes are definately dragging. I think I may need to shim the caliper brackets out a smig. No real performance testing of the rear discs yet... I also went ahead and ordered the flex lines for the rear calipers. I just went with rubber lines for now. They are NAPA P/N 380483 for both and $14 and some change each. |
