This design would widen it 3" and would bring the wheel well up enough to match the chrome trim so I would gain 2-3" in tire clearance. So a 305 or 315 would easily fit without having to go way in board with them. Then I will tub it because it needs notched more anyway and I will need to...
It's not as much width that I'm looking for as its something that will make room for tires. A 2" flare would be enough but I need room for wider tires/wheels. I'm rolled as far as I could in front and rear is cut and rolled. Barely clears my current wheel and tires and I stretched my tires just...
First time I've ever bought snow tires for anything. Ran my summer tires all last year and up until thursday night this year.Found some to fit my new wheels so they went on now.
Screwing around with some wheels I got. They're more of an "off road" looking wheel. That should be on a lifted truck but I don't think they look too bad so they may become my race wheels
Well the clunk it had was gone. It has the usual whine to it still. It at least doesn't sound like it's about to seize. Going to put some conditioner in it and bleed it once more and see if it will quiet down
Power steering has been iffy for as long as I've had the truck. It stopped leaking but has always made noise. Worse when it's cold. Shaft had play. So I rebuilt it finally in hoes of saving it before it craps out. That way I don't have to buy a garbage reman pump or spend like 300+ on a motorcraft.
All I have found for flares is bushwacker. Not sure how they would look on my bullnose considering its dropped so far.I've started attempting to make steel ones and I'm already hating it.Does anyone know of any other flares out there for a bullnose that aren't god awful looking. I'm about...
Then tonight, last night whatever you'd like to call it since it's now 3am. Put a set of kc lights behind the grill. Painted the head light trim black, polished up the lights and painted the lower metal trim piece as it didn't have very good coverage from whoever painted the truck.
Here she is mostly clean was a few days after originally cleaning it but still looks quite a bit better than ot did. Towed a tahoe and 2 jeeps with it over the weekend. Not super impressed with the power but I don't have a pyrometer yet to tune it better. Will also be doing a cam and have an...
After a few hours of cleaning the paint had a nice shine to it. No more over sprayPainted the bumperPut new rear tires on and cut the stacks down while it was on stands the day after cleaning it
When I got the truck there was over spray everywhere. The paint was hazy and didn't really have a shine to it.The haze is hard to see with the way the shop lights reflectBumper was also bent with faded paint
The 2wd short bed is currently on hold for now because I've been working on the idi.I'll start with the engine bay still needs a lot but its definitely better.Quality might be poor uploading them this way.
Not sure what year the clip actually is. I wasn't the builder. Just got it as a project tow rig. 92 7.3 first gen banks turbo with upgraded exhaust housing, modified injection pump and injectors. 5 speed out of the 92 as well.85 interior and doors with chevy tow mirrors. Still has the 85...
The adjustable rod on the booster was screwed out almost an 1/8" too far. I don't know who did it but it was done awhile ago. No more dragging or heat, drives much better. Now to get new tires and a windshield
The exploded view for the prop valve for this truck shows a metering valve inside the prop valve... the valve was listed for 80-86 trucks and looks the same as the one in mine.
The only thing with it being a rubber line is both calipers drag and get just as hot. Last time this happened was on a jeep and both calipers had seized from sitting. Swapped those and never had the issue again. I bought brake lines last night as well as enough fluid to flush the system.Is...
The master was recently changed because they noticed the pedal being weird which was due to the entire pad being gone with just a metal plate left so the master could easily be a possibly.
What are typical problems with these old bullnose for the front calipers to drag and get excessively hot?I just did calipers and pads last night because they were sticking so bad the truck would come to a stop when you pushed in the clutch or coasted in neutral. It's still dragging and getting...
Just the cheap nickel copper stuff. I've never had good luck with them. Had two different lines both broke in different spots. Bought a n actual steel line from napa
These were the last pictures I took of it on 20s.Tried to have a little fun and these tires decided to wheel hop instead of just break free. Ended up snapping a caliper off. Had no idea until we hit a decent speed and went to slow down. Pedal went to the floor. Caliper got lodged between the...
Aod is done rated for 500hp so it won’t work after I order the turbo. Will have to order the t56 sooner than I planned. Oh well, the 408w was quoted at 4800 shipped. Forged everything and rated for 1000+ picking up the aod this weekend and maybe do my down payment for the 408 at the beginning of...
Rubs the plastic very slightly over bumps while turning. If its smooth it doesn't touch. They are a 255/35/20 which is 27" tall. Slightly taller and wider than the old tires
