Thanks Jason, I'm clearing some room now. I have the front suspension and brakes installed except for the rack.

If your thinking about ordering anything its definitely worth it to take advantage of their sale. Plus I had my rear brake kit in 2 days.

Bennett68C10 · 02-21-2016, 06:53 PM

Ok, so I got the front suspension finished up along with installing the Wilwood brakes. While I was at it, I threw a wheel on to see how it looked. I love the way its looking

Definitely glad I went with the 14" front brakes, the 20" wheel swallowed that 14" rotor quick.

slowcpe · 02-21-2016, 08:31 PM

Much better progress than me today. Looks good. I agree on the 14/20 combo. I've been trying to talk myself into 13"s up front and 12"s rear to save some money but love the look of your wheel/brake combo.

jeh · 02-21-2016, 10:08 PM

I always look forward to your weekend updates!!! You've convinced me now that I need 14" rotors too

**Dustmaker65** · 02-21-2016, 11:56 PM

Might of missed it, but did you get the front brakes as a kit(Hub, Rotor, Caliper, Bearings...)? If so, could you post part number and supplier?

**screaminchevypickup** · 02-22-2016, 01:21 AM

Looks great Keith!! Thanks for the business..

. Keep up the nice work.

It took me part of Saturday and all day Sunday to get this much done. I'm a slow worker

I checked out your build, it looks like you got a lot done especially with your back being out. I was going to do the same thing for brakes, 13" front and 12" rear but I really wanted a 14" rotor up front so I spent a little more money then I thought I would, but its worth it.

If you already have drop spindles, look into the Pro Performance 14" F/R kit. It looks to be a really nice kit at a great price. If I didn't have my heart set on the Wilwoods, I would have went with this kit.

Yeah the front brakes came as a kit, everything is included except for the CPP Modular Drop spindle which you have to purchase separately. I ordered the front kit and spindles from Summit Racing. The part number is 140-10776-DR. Check out Laid Back Recreations if your looking into purchasing it, I saved a lot over Summit on my rear kit I ordered through them. I wish I would have ordered my front kit from them as well.

Thanks Scott, I really like it too. Went together with no real surprises. All I have left is to mount the rack and pinion steering.

Mcmour67 · 02-22-2016, 09:51 AM

Looking good so for. I'm keeping my eye on this one.

Thanks for checking out my build.

mcbassin · 02-24-2016, 08:57 AM

Looks great! Very nice parts too!

knomadd · 02-24-2016, 09:49 AM

I have brake envy! I've been wanting 14" Wilwoods for a while now.

I have to keep telling myself they aren't important at the moment. Must... stick... to... priorities...

slowcpe · 02-24-2016, 12:57 PM

Ok question that has come up for me and have never seen it posted. Are you pressing in your ball joints for mock up?

mx289 · 02-24-2016, 08:52 PM

I like where this is going...!

Good to see you back Keith.

RNmatt87 · 02-24-2016, 09:01 PM

Looking good. Sorry to hear about all your troubles but it looks like you've come out on top.

I hear you, I wanted them on my previous 68 but went with a 13"/12" setup! It's probably overkill, but I don't want to have any regrets with this truck!

Yeah I pressed them in for mockup! I'll remove them when I pull the frame apart for powdercoat and paint.
