Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
No real progress to report, a little sandblasting here and there, not much else. Have been busy with the hockey teams I am coaching, and had a week in the Cuban sun recently (beautiful country, and wonderful people). I am glad to report that the hockey teams are doing very well though. My sons travel team won a tournament last weekend, and we have 4 big games coming up in the next 4 days against rivals that have handed us our a$$e$ on plates in the past.
We just got 12" of snow in the last 24 hours, and dang it is cold. I don't think I am going to get much done until hockey slows down, and the weather warms up

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
question for the captain...
I have the CPP booster/MC unit, just want to make sure your booster bracket will work with my set up, pic of unit, and firewall below.

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
My booster bracket will basically bolt up to that booster. It is possible that you may have to elongate a couple of holes in the booster bracket, depending on the stud pattern on that booster. My booster bracket has a hole pattern of 3.375" x 3.50". Some boosters have that same pattern and some are 3.50" x 3.50". If you are going to run a column shift trans, that may be an issue depending on the exact diameter of that booster. That one 'appears' to be small enough to not be an issue with the column shift.

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
I wonder if CPP sources those from Master Power Brakes. Yours looks just like the one I've had on my truck for a number of years, except I mounted the proportioning valve separately. That size booster makes the pedal pressure comfortable without making the brakes overly sensitive.

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
Hi CRGRS 66, don't know if you got your power brake mounting issue figured out. Here is an adapter that uses the stock bolt holes. They sell them on eBay I'm going to just make my own. Really simple plate. My 66 is going to go thru the frame off next fall. Going to drive it this spring/summer just picked it up a month ago. Put this number in eBay search. 330858926129

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
Could you shoot some pics of your cab lifter please?
Like Bomp, I would enjoy seeing how you made that.

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
Back at it today. Removed all of the clips and bits and fasteners from the frame, removed the cross member furthest back (I may try to mount my trailer hitch there, if not will bolt cross member back in), removed the brake lines, trac bar stud, emerg cables etc. from diff, drilled the holes for captain fabs PS bracket, drilled the holes in the trailing arms for the sway bar mounting brackets (had marked their location last weekend when mocking up the rear susp), and did some tidying up. I believe that there is workbench in my garage, hopefully when I put all of my tools away tomorrow I will find it
Frame, diff, trailing arms ready to go to the blaster now, but I won't take them until I have the cab floor, firewall, and underside cleaned and painted.

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
craigger, glad to see that your getting some work done on your truck! it always snowballs when you want to upgrade something or clean something, you start thinking to yourself that you can clean and paint that part since you got those parts off and so on and so on, lol!!

I have figured out what I want to do for my trailer hitch. I am going to turn my bumper upside down, and relocate my receiver higher. I am also going to grab one of those flip up tag brackets to hide the receiver. Should look pretty slick, and will also be a very simple mod. Not crazy about the receiver hanging down so low, rather unsightly actually!

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
The past year has been... let's just say entirely not conducive to working on the truck. I have been lurking following most of you guys, mark, mcmurph, bomp, sanity, ta2don, BOMP, dino, couple of 63's in in NC, chris collins (nice colour combo, darrah, cortcomp, cdn rust bucket (killer build), 1bad SUICIDE, chadwick (congrats on being in the same zip code as your truck), zippeay, Momma Zane (sorry, will send your SS script soon), Alans Classic EPIC, tilly to the rescue, Maggie (wake maggie I.....), jmorales, and several others, have been lurking, living vicariously through all of you. Lurking, learning, planning, and waiting for better weather as life once again allows for me to give the old girl some lovin
So as to where I am and what is going on... Frame was cleaned up with wire wheel, sanding discs, and plenty of sweat, then labelled with rust converter (love this stuff!)
