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.
