Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
All you need to do for your brakes is go with a hydroboost. I sell the brackets to make it happen.

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
Yeah, after I said that I see that you have manual steering.

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
I'm looking for some new front steel rims. I'm considering running a 16 or 17" front steel rim but I would like to know what it might look like with the 15" rim in the back. The rear overall height should be 30-31" tall. I'm just wondering if it'll look goofy with the 15's in the back. Any pics? My thought is I may be able to stuff a bigger rotor in the front if I run a bigger rim.
Thanks for watching the thread all and the support. I'm researching differentials and Moser so far is what I'm set on. The axle will cost as much as a POS Honda beater car. Do we have any venders that offer custom width axles at a forum rate maybe? I knew there was one a year or so ago, then they never got back with me. Alex |

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
Also, I found a great resource to determine what you'll need for a brake system on a 4x4 site of all places. Take a look.

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
Small update with old pics.
We sanded a high spot down and ended up with a smiley face. We finally finished painting the hood and clearing it. Problem was part of it was in the sun and the clear dried too fast. We were nervous, but we wet sanded the clear with 1000,1500, and 3000 grit then 3 staged buffed it. We only did the passenger half of the hood. The results are below. Super flat paint! ![]() ![]() |

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
So this weekend I have to install the new Master cylinder and adjustable proportioning valve. Wilwood said I needed a 7/8 MC for a 6 to 1 pedal ratio (manual brakes). My cam in the 454 is to rowdy to run power brakes, it kills the motor when you press the brake pedal.
I ordered my Moser Fab 9 housing and a new rear trailing arm connection bar / rear lower coil-over mount from Porterbuilt. I hope it works with the FAB 9 housing.. I'll let you guys know. I'm trying to figure out a clean way to mount the roll control / line lock with the adjustable proportioning valve. I had a Brothers turn signal switch installed but it makes the tail lights act like hazards all the time.. so I ordered a new one. I hope this one works correctly. The pitman arm was the stock one from '64, but the rest of the front steering linkage has been replaced, so I finally got around to replacing this. I have to help my friend Keith shoot wires on his blazer too. His fuel pump wont prime the fuel system with the key power. It should be a fun weekend. Hopefully the FAB 9 comes in on Friday. That's all for now. Alex |

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
Started assembling the Moser FAB 9" yesterday.. one problem, they sent a 12 bolt brake kit.. so it was to small for the huge 9" bearings (the brake kit retains the axles and bearing in this setup). Should have new brakes by Tueday of next week. Maybe an axle under the truck again by next weekend. I'm waiting on my new porter built lower coil-over bar to come in as well still. Sadly it should have been here last week. I'll get some daylight pics of the axle this weekend.
Wet sanding the front end this weekend. Along with the brake install. I think I installed my horn pieces upside down in the steering wheel. When I connect the wires up under the column the horn sounds continuously. Thoughts? Anyone have a pic of a correctly working horn ring setup or recent experience with this? I tore that thing apart 3 years ago and am not 100% sure how it goes back together. Alex |

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
Sweet looking paint work. As for the 9 inch and the brackets your gonna need to fit them as the axle tube is larger on the nine than the 12 bolt a flue and a die grinder is what I used.

They sent the wrong parts so now I should have the new parts without having to modify anything. Thanks for the tip though! Alex |

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
Got some work done on the truck. The Moser axle in and damn .. it's sexy lol. Pics. I think I get to join the fatty tire club now too? Have 5/8" studs for security on the rims / axles. I had to drill out the steel rims to accept the studs.

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
How it sits under the truck. Last Pic is a cruddy one of the dyna pro wilwood brakes.
***Note *** My axle measurement wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface (without brakes figured in) with the 15x10 steelie wheel vintique rims was 56 inches wide. The 12 bolt pinion offset was .5" (Stock 1964 C10 axle width is around 62" wms to wms ) I had moser figure how wide the axle really needed to be with the disk brakes included. I saved about 500-700.00 on the axle by NOT buying the muscle pack kit. Shipping was going to be expensive. So I had them piece the kit together and send it in 3-5 boxes. I assembled the differential ( really easy actually, the chunk is pre assembled when you get it), moved the brake line mount for the flex lines (forgot to tell them there would be interference.. my bad) and then installed it. Wavetrack 3.75 gears, back brace, aluminum center case, 1350 yoke, 35 spline axles, semi gloss black powder coat.. It should never die. Alex Last edited by Arekusu; 05-19-2014 at 07:24 PM. |
