Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Mild, it will be coil overs so I have to account for these roads. Should sit almost the same as it does now, but handle with way more control!

I make that comment to people and they don't believe me when I say out roads suck in Florida.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Buck I think it would be a wise investment to go ahead and get the front dm too. Buy it, install it and enjoy!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I just went through your entire thread. Glad to see you've gained your interest again. I know all too well about not having things go the way you want or as quickly as you want, but if you hang in there, it will eventually be where you want it too. And it is worth every moment.
I also think it's a great thing your wife likes the truck. Mine loves driving the truck, so it's much easier for her to understand why I'm doing some of the things I'm doing to it, instead of just complaining about the money I am spending on it. If she hated old cars, I wouldn't have as much fun as I'm sure there would be a limit to the amount of time and money I'd be able to spend on my hobby. I love what you've done with your truck and am looking forward to future updates! ![]()

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
This is proof I am working on my wreck. It is also a very good example of what happens when you half a$$ something because you have no patience. I am planning to paint/repaint the rotors and calipers black. Or should the rotors be black and the calipers red?

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Well, the silver isn't too bright so that may be a good choice, will have to see what is available at the parts store.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Rotors black, calipers done in hammertone. I like the black/silver hammertone combination!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Well, I have news on what may have been a big part of my vibration/shaking problem. Checkout the pic of my wheels after being rebalanced. The blue tape is the new location of the wheel weights, and the white tape is the old. The tire tech said he figured I had a pretty serious vibration. Bought some new front rotors/pads/bearings/seals, gonna get started prepping and painting tonight. This thing has to be ready by Friday morning for "Burning up the Beach!" weekend.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
All 4 rotors painted, front calipers cleaned and taped up, I'll prep the rear calipers and paint them all after work tomorrow. If all goes well I should be able to reassemble everything tomorrow night. It would have been so much easier if I had done this in the first place...
![]() Sorry for the crappy picture, it's late and I have to be up at 0400. ![]()
