Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Hey friends, back in post 1224 or 1225 I mentioned calipers sticking. Got both changed and it feels like it was when first done. Note I did have to do a lot of checking to get the correct calipers for the kit I bought.
Cruise control, Mark said to check the magnets on the driveshaft, which he did. I guess during the accident, something hit one of the magnets and knocked it off, so I only have one. It doesn't get the correct speed signal, so no function. Tomorrow we head to Springfield for the Mid-American nats, so will take pics and report on the trip later. Everyone have a great Memorial Day...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Pic 1 GMC for lower
Pic 2 I had a 73 Z28 so I have a soft spot for the 2nd gen Camaro. Pic 3 Sweet extended cab. Pic 4 Burb. Pic 5 Home from show, Drove 237.9 miles @70 mph most of the time. Had about 9 miles of fair ground crusing thru out the day (doesn't help gas milage). Average 16 miles per gal., not great, but I'm happy with the Fitech system.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Couple things I forgot to mention. Had the pleasure of meeting two board members, that have been following my thread. Both working on AD's, but not getting much done and very few postings.
I also had my truck safety inspected and again passed the 23 inspection. That's it for now...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Ok, here's the update from our trip to Springfield on Friday 5/26. Because of the weather forecast of severe weather Saturday (including baseball size hail). Mark and I decided we would only go for 1 day. Was raining when we left home, but cleared up and was nice the rest of the day. Didn't take a lot of pics only a few, was busy with other stuff. So here's a few pics in next post...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Jim, Sorry the weather messed you up. Good Pictures of the time you were there. My wife and I tried to surprise you and show up at Springfield but a Nurse where she worked had a problem and Eve had to cover for her. Sounds like we would have had a WET Saturday anyway! The more I drive that Caddy the more I'm Spoiled by the Ride. I hope to get down to see you and your Wife sometime this Summer, later Ray

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Nothing new on mine. We had our local car show here today, with about 200 cars and trucks showing up. Here's a few pic I took.
Pic 1 Nice yellow truck Pic 2 & 3 Belongs to friend named John with a 5.3 engine. He's building a 6.0 for later.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Pic 1 belongs to Marshall, we call him Pink Floyd.
Pic 2 54 belongs to local guy here. Pic 3 Never seen this one before, it's mounted on a new frame, not sure what but looks like a 1500 series. Pic 4 This truck is also local, has a 402 big block, all numbers matching, he's working on a 67 step side that he wants Mark to do some work on. Pic 5 Nice Art work, but

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Whew, I LOVE the color and I'm shocked I do. It looks borderline purple and I've never liked purple.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Thanks lower. First time I've seen a TF made into a conv. Looks like he did a nice job, still has a good solid mount for the windshield. Is that the roof in the bed, was it metal???...Jim
