As far as the eldorado emergency brake style caliper , I will guess that with the truck actually moving if you try the emer brake and step on it as hard as you can you wont actually notice any braking force. It just looks good on there.

Nice work bunkerbuilder!

Right, Your choices are: OD iron which has a custom compressor bracket with their kit. You make your own bracket and use a sanden compressor or whatever kind you feel like. Use a compressor and bracket from a civilian chevy 6.2 AC truck , but you would have to do away with the...

I have a hot rod ac setup from a previous project that i got from southernrods , Im going to put in the 1028. I will have to make some kind of bracket for the sanden compressor. It has an evaporator-heater unit that will fit up under the dash. The original heater box will get tossed.

My reason for swapping is to make the truck tow better, im thinking it will feel like getting a power boost by getting rid of the turbo400. This truck is going to pull my gooseneck trailer when I need it for construction supplys and stuff on my property out next to the national forest. Will...

Pulled the floor mat out and man it was nasty under it, cleaned it up and started working. Pulled the dash pad, inst cluster, steering column, pedals and mount. The 4 speed pedal mount had spot welds broken so I tig welded it back together. 2 other small issues with it since it must have...
