navct, the dash is going to look great. Please keep us posted. I tweeked mine again with a custom housing for the monster tach and re-arranged the dash plus added the aluminum plate to the heater controls.

Thanks folks. Mark that's exactly what being done this winter; new cross drilled slotted rotors, thunderbird calipers, hydroboost with F350 master cylinder, braided lines and Blackbird rear disc brake kit. I'll post the pics when it gets out of storage and the swap begins.

Thanks! I like the look they give the truck.

While not personally a fan of lambo door hinges, on lil_dq's truck it looks painful to get in and out of. I do have a question for lil_dq, do you have a pic of how you routed your exhaust to those side exit exhaust? Thanks.

I need to move to a warmer climate, these winters give far to much time to make changes. Below is a dash that I'll be modifing this winter to better incorporate the rest of my dash mods.

That looks great! The checker plate was a nice addition. So many great mods, so little time :)

You'll enjoy it, I like having the option of limping home with the front wheel drive if I spit out the rear driveshaft from a hard launch :)

Well worth repairing, hope they use rust converter on the exposed inner body panel(s).

A '79. Well I based the search on a big bearing F150 9" with 31 spline axles so you would fall in that group. I was trying to show that there are a lot of kits advertised but few actually fit when you check into it.

Unfortunately I do need to run an emergency brake to be street legal, lots more choices if you don't.

Well I did some searching for the same thing and found the following:B.C. Bronco - http://www.bcbroncos.com/rearbrakes08.html Blackbirds Custom Trucks - http://www.blackbirdscustomtrucks.com/index8.html Currie Enterprises - http://www.currieenterprises.com/ces...E.aspx?id=1920 Bronco...

I had a full stereo setup but I rarely used it so the first step was to install the gauges and see how much I missed it. The sightline is great for the gauges and after working out which hidden stereo to buy I realized I don't miss it so I'm going to do the full brake upgrade with the same money...

Hey Dustin, I see we had the same thought of keeping the stock ribs in the dash pod. I like how the red stands out in yours.

This what I have for my '77 so far:

It's a polished aluminum piece that attaches with about 8 screws..............almost $800 is a lot of money for a little bling :)

B&M Megashifter with a bench seat. Yes it can be used as a rachet shifter and has reverse lockout.

I picked up a B&M deep sump pan but the crossmember wants to occupy some of the same space. Anyone done this install and have some pics of the trimming you did? It's a '77 4X4. Thanks.

Those 44's make the bronco look just evil, love it. Great idea on the door handles, would longer matching shower handles work for the bed? Could you get one of those round billet gas doors to work if the paint doesn't match? I've tossed the idea around in my head but never had the part in hand...

I vote for Bear Metal, good hook to it. If you're happy then the rest of the people can fornicate themselves, was that anti-social :).

You've got the cool, now dial up the powerplant and you'll be doing these.......

I think it's looking great. Great to see your hard work paying off.

Thank you very much, that was just what I was looking for. You also saved me from crawling under the beast tonight :).

This is on a 460 but looks like a large truck pan (holds about 9 liters). I'll have to crawl under again and see if I can clarify the "H" Mil1ion.

I've got it on my motor now but would like to know just what it was from, the numbers on the pan are:4 0489A E7HE 6675Thanks.

Launching this heavy pig with big tires flexes on both the X & Y axis, that's why both the back and top support. I found the brace on a rock crawler site, it comes in four pieces pre-bent and cut for the radiuses. After checking fitment and a little trimming the bottom was welded to the top u...

Well I finally won the battle with the vent but the brake line and fitting didn't fair too well :rolling laugh:Once the threads in the axle tube were cleaned up it was the search for a 7/16" fine thread fitting. Ended up using a fine thread bolt and drilled it out on the lathe. Welded a tube...

Thank you, I'll keep at it.

Welding up the rear axle brace and I need to move my combination rear brake line junction and vent. How does this thing come off? It looks like the vent section passes through the distribution block and into the axle tube, is this correct? Thanks.This is a '77 F150 4X4 9" rear axle.
