Phase one done
Hi.
Here is a list of stuff that I just finished on my truck.
Regear and rebuild Dana 80
Graft on rear frame section from a 88 Ford F-450
Fabricate an e-brake system out of some Porsche calipers
New driveshaft
Install Caddy seats
Fabricate a small sleeper for my dogs.
Fabricate 2 fuel tanks
Convert to Hydro brakes
Widen the Alu. flatbed
Install 1 stack
This project took WAY longer and cost a little more than I thought it would. So I had to cut back on my project. I will do the other things later.
The rear end came out great. Nice and quiet. The ride isn't as bad as I thought it would be. The fuel tanks took a ton of time to make. Finding hyd fittings for the hydro booster was a PITA. I should have built a new flat bed but I didn't have a $1000 for the Alu.
I love the hydro brakes. My stock brakes SUCKED and I needed a new master and booster so I went with hydro instead. The pedal is high and hard.
