Damn.

Makes me want to slam mine. Looks awesome, keep up the good work!

Rochlow · 01-01-2015, 08:05 PM

No, not yet. I have to finish wiring it, build the exhaust, set the pinion angles, and a bunch of other small things

Since I just picked up a 1970 myself your truck has become my inspiration. Are you going to paint in the grill letters and surround?

Thanks for the compliment. I think I'm going to leave the grill as is..

mooseknuckles · 03-16-2015, 09:52 PM

that grill is too nice to mess with!

Rochlow · 03-23-2015, 09:51 AM

So I bought these big fancy brakes from CPP. In trying to adjust them yesterday, I finally got fluid through the lines. However, I couldn't get the caliper to clamp the rotor in the front or rear. I bench bleed the M/C and had fluild coming out of all four calipers.

I noticed that I have a deep bore M/C that CPP provided in the kit and the booster has an adjustment to accomadate the bore.

However, the pedal still goes to the floor and doesn't stop the rotor from spinning.. I'm stumped on this one..

Which mastercylinder did you buy?

knomadd · 03-23-2015, 10:15 AM

You may have already looked at all of this, but I'll try to jog your memory or give some ideas where to look...
Are you sure the pedal is contacting the piston in the master? Sometimes there is a spacer required between the pedal pin and the master cylinder to engage them both. I think this might be your problem. It's possible to have the brakes bleed by gravity alone instead of pedal force.

I assume you're using a vacuum booster, but if you are using hydro boost, make sure you've bled your power steering and don't have low fluid or frothy fluid (lots of air in the system).

Are there any obstructions in your master preventing the fluid from leaving the reservoir? Maybe debris in the lines? Did you replace all of your brake lines or reuse factory stuff?

What kind of proportioning valve do you have? Is it a factory style from these trucks, a newer factory style (typical upgrade in most disc kits), an adjustable valve only to the rears? Air can be trapped in a factory style unit. It's possible to bleed some of them, from what I've heard (never done it myself) but I've had air in my lines because of one of those types. At the time, I didn't have many brake tools so I had to have a mechanic pressure bleed my lines to get the last of the air out.

These last items require the pedal to fully engage the master though, which it doesn't sound like is happening.
