Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Got the outer floor extensions, and front door rear pillar patches coming from Wes, should be here any time. My dad sold a 389 Pontiac motor he had, guy picks it up at the end of the month. Then I'll order up the front cab supports, bed floor rear section, etc, getting closer everyday!

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Got my complete rear disc conversion kit today for my 14 blt rear axle! Rotors, calipers, brackets, spacers, pads, hardware, rubber hoses, complete! Bought it from Blackbird's, right here. Excellant guy to deal with, great service too! All I need to round up now are all new wheel studs, and should be set. I'll post up some pic's of the kit later.

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Money from the Pontiac motor came through today, ordered up more panels from Wes. Slowly but surely getting the repair metal to get started here! Man, look at Drunkbus's progress! Can't wait to get that far on my project!

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
I remember YJ saying his dana20 was broken when he got it, so he swapped in the np205. Only other thing he had to do was drop his t-case crossmember like an inch. I already picked up a np205 crossmember so I should be good there. Just wondering about the adapter part of the swap. Also where can you get the gaskets for those areas, I really don't just want to use gasket sealer or the likes. YJ, you there?

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Got a call from Wes last night, parts have been shipped! Getting closer everyday! Poured some gas in the tank tonight, gonna have to drop the tank and replace all the rubber lines just so I can keep starting it up and move it around. All the rubber lines at the tank are cracked, sucking air, and leaking. No problem, tank has to come out to do the shackle flip anyway's!

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
I am ordering up a 1 ton brake upgrade system from PICKMUP. Any feedback from members that have used his setups? This one comes with the big booster, big MC, dual DB prop valve, brackets, pedal rod, and the lines from MC to prop. Sounds like a real good setup to me, just wondering if anyone has used it with the dana60 and 14 bolt rear?

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Well I did it! Brake upgrade kit will be here by the end of the week! Gotta get moving on some other stuff before fall really sets in. As soon as my basement remodeling project is done, I can evaluate all the parts I have gathered and see what else I need! Even though I really haven't been able to use my K5 this summer, at least I have it close, can start and drive it around, and have spent a whole bunch of money on it! I will post up some pic's of brake parts asap.

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Tracking brake booster kit with FEDEX, should be here tuesday. Looking at my inner firewall, and want to clean it up. Gonna go with a driveline e-brake, so will not need the stock e-brake pedal assembly. Plan on removing the stock pedal, cables, etc. That will clean up the drivers side kick panel area under the dash a bit. Anybody done this swap?

Haven't done the swap but it sounds like a good plan.

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Thank you, I started to think I was talking to my self here! Just sounds like a good idea to me. Driveline e-brake is expensive, but I think it will be worth it!

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Got the brake upgrade coming from PICKMUP, and heater box coming from Sharpie. Been kinda busy the last couple of days, Friends set me up with a used car for my almost 16 year old twin girls. 1992 Mercury Capri 2 door convertible in great shape. It has been in storage, and not started in about 4 years. Went and pulled the plugs tonight and shot a little marvel mystery oil down the cylinders, gonna let it set till thursday. Gotta get a new battery for it and some fresh gas- should fire right up! Oh, 1992 model with 57,000 miles on it! Chevy brake parts should be here tommorrow!

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Sounds like you have a good stock of parts built up for the winter. You gonna start the rebuild this fall?

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Hope to, but may be spring before I get the cash up for it. A few more floor parts and I'm ready there. Plan on regearing and overhauling the 60 & 14 bolt over the winter at least, so their ready to bolt in. Still need to set up some 1 ton driveshafts and e-brake system. Any suggestions?
