Looks good ,never seen more happy frogs .

7dee2 · 09-01-2016, 10:43 AM

Thanks flashed.

Final mirror mockup is done and they should have all the functionality of the originals.

mjensen · 09-01-2016, 06:04 PM

Pretty damn neat Brett! It has been months since I have been on here. Took me forever I catch up lol.

7dee2 · 09-05-2016, 10:58 AM

Thanks Mike, good to hear from you! Hope you guys are having a great summer.

While the cab is still on the frame we needed to resolve our park brake and decided to take First c10 (Scott) advise from last year. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=382 Removed the old cables that came with the K35 donor to double check my measurements and get ready for new stuff.

swamp rat · 09-05-2016, 10:58 PM

Been a long time since we heard from that build!

Oh hey Scott!

Will do buddy, finally decided to quite puttsing around with the old brake cable stuff.

All new cable from the factory pedal back to the drums w/o the use of an intermediate cable. The 2 into 1 bracketry is pretty slick and will be hidden inside the frame rail.

**First c10** · 09-06-2016, 02:29 PM

Hey Brett looking good. That is pretty close to what I did. I just used the stock front cable. Of course I have not tried it other that pulling on it by hand but it seems the work great on the rear Caddy discs.

**rgunlock** · 09-06-2016, 05:33 PM

Wow, that's a whole lot cleaner look than factory cables!

webfoot · 09-06-2016, 05:53 PM

Damn, that does look nice. Is that the "EZ bracket style" or Side pull?

Be interested to know what that setup cost?

Thanks Scott it sure is and I was going to do the same, even acquired the 4x only frame bracket to make it happen. Within 2 minutes of getting them on the phone I was rethinking that idea, they simply asked me why not just run a long primary cable?

Done, easy peasy!

Thanks Rick this vendor does make what should be a simple task, simple.

Thanks webfoot that is the EZ bracket and it was a great deal here’s a copy of our order for the longhorn frame. I only screwed up one measurement I told them 10” inside the 14bolt drw drum and it’s more like 9” but it was easy enough to take an inch out of the spring and make them 9”.

I was thinking the same thing, kind of miss Scott's updates.

Just needs the factory style square firewall grommet and adjust up the brakes some more, but it does what it’s supposed to do. I’ll finish mounting the long primary cable after the cab is back off the frame. We will see if the rear cables need anything more once the weight of a bed is added.

webfoot · 09-07-2016, 11:34 AM

Awesome, thanks for posting.

7dee2 · 09-08-2016, 10:53 AM

No problem webfoot.

Cab is coming back off and should be painted next time it goes back on. Now that the ebrake is sorted and it looks like the drums/hubs should on there for a while we finally sealed and filled the rear differential.

webfoot · 09-08-2016, 11:44 AM

I had those tires on my 71 K20, and really liked them.

ryanroo · 09-09-2016, 02:09 PM

As usually, it looks great. I am excited about that cable, thanks for posting. I've been scratching my head about how to accommodate all the oddness in my green truck. Looks like that may be the ticket.

Thanks Ryan this was a super easy solution, credit goes to First c10 (Scott) he suggested that we go that route a while ago.

The old rv cab is in really great shape, started removing old seam sealer.

7dee2 · 09-12-2016, 10:34 AM

Oh boy, more seam sealer removal and the last of the factory cowl insulation/adhesive.

Brett... the trucks in my dreams have more rust than that.

It's looking great!

**rgunlock** · 09-12-2016, 12:51 PM

Looks like you had a fun weekend! Did you go through a bunch of the little maroon scotch discs digging that stuff out, or do you have another method? That cab looks to be in incredible shape!

Ha, Thanks Jim!

The old girl is a sweetheart for sure, as I recall the body on your old furnace truck was pretty nice wasn’t it? How is that truck doing, did some Loctite get the u-bolts to stay tight?

It really wasn’t too bad to remove pretty sure someone had replaced the exterior sealer before, maybe from an earlier repaint. I say that because it was still pliable and came right out with wire wheels and a small screw driver. The only spot I had to fight and it was hard as a rock (original stuff) was over the back of the cab, my guess they couldn’t get there with the camper on.

All ready to start loading, figured we can get some bolts blasted as well!

7dee2 · 09-14-2016, 10:18 AM

It’s back and it’s just one color, naked!

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-14-2016, 05:25 PM

Very nice! You are so lucky to be able to take it in and get it back done the same day! Plus, you can probably leave it like that for a few days before it starts flash rusting. Unlike here. Haha

mjensen · 09-14-2016, 10:51 PM

This is awesome Brett!

I hope you don't get in trouble for posting nude pics though!
