Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
After fighting a caliper piston for a couple of hours the rear is complete. Tomorrow I will tackle assembling the front...

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Looks great Buck. Hopefully that fixed your vibration issues. You had me a little worried that my trans tailshaft might be sitting a little too low.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Looks nice! Glad you got the vibration figured out.
I do have one question for you... Are you going to sand off the paint on the braking surface before you drive it? I would think that paint will gum up your pads. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Thanks Keith, I guess I'm going to have to pay more attention to the details so I don't have to go through this again. It's all Jeff's fault, his truck is SO darn nice, I am going to have to put in some elbow grease to shine this turd!

Hmm.. Never heard of that. Guess you do learn something new everyday.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Finished up the rotor swap and got it back on the ground. Here are a couple of pics of the front, I took a pic with the wheel on but it is crappy. I'll take one with it outside in the sun.
Through this little project I have learned that when you paint stuff it just leads to painting more stuff... ![]() ![]()

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Thanks! Yep, made it just under the wire!
![]() WOW! What a difference!!! I guess there is something to this phenomenon of balancing wheels and tires. I posted some pics of the difference in placement of wheel weights, but I didn't mention that one of them was more than 4oz out. That doesn't sound like a lot but I guess it is when it comes to balancing a tire. The tire tech said he is curious if they were ever really balanced. I drove the old truck to work this morning, took it up to 75 mph and it was surprisingly smooth. ![]()

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Glad to hear you got the vibrations wrkd out i know how frustrating that is... Spend time and lots of money to end up with vibrations in the drivetrain sucks.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
It appears the rear calipers are '78 Eldorado, the rotor however is a bit of a mystery. There is a part number stamped on the outer edge that reads 5568-X5. The only cross reference I can find is for a mid 90s K1500, but they are 6 lug. Maybe they buy blanks and have them drilled to 5 lug, I don't know. Here is the best picture I have of the back side...

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
That is what I am running for rotors, just redrilled.........I could not locate blanks to drill to 5 lug so ended up re-drilling 6 lug. I appreciate the info and pics......Your truck is very nice to say the least.I am still interested in that crossmember when the time comes.
