Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Sorry Shawn, the corvette thing got past me but as long as the booster is working it sounds like line pressure problem. The corvette was usually 4 piston calipers on all four corners. Do ya know someone you can borrow a stock truck master w/ discs/drum combo to try out. I'm just wondering if the vette had different pressure requirements

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
good thought, did you change the booster as well. I see the new prop valve

No. I am using the same booster.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
I would think the stock booster would work with the vette master but now I'm not sure. I'm sure the booster is still working or you would hear the vacuum under the dash when brakes are applied or run funny. Only I can think of is the master isn't making the pressure you need. You're getting good pressure when bleeding correct?

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Well Shawn, I'm at a loss, the only thing I can think of is the master. Trucks run one large piston and vettes four small pistons. I would try a truck power master and see how that changes things.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Thanks! If you get a chance, snap a picture of the ground clearance at the a-arms. I'm banking on a 4-1/2" advertised drop (2-1/2 + 2) and 235/60's working for me.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Hey Shawn, your truck is looking great. Nice job on the suspension, how does it ride now? I did a similar setup and my 1967 GMC longbed truck, rode like it was on rails going around corners.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Lol, I guess any upgrade of suspension I would say was like riding on rails when I did my suspension. I had the death wooble going on, you know when you only was going change one lane and your truck decides it wants to change two and the only way to make it quit wobbling was to drive faster... Lol. Nice work, looks great.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Phew that's low, I know Lodi has good roads what about some of those long trips that you'll be going on and what you might encounter. I'd like to go lower on mine but to worried. Roads in my area are pretty rough. Anyways looking good Shawn.
