     Man, that is a lot of work going into that truck.  It will be interesting for sure to see it progress and the final product.  Keep up the work and the pics.

I would love to have that suspension setup with custom frame but I have nowhere to do it.  I am probably going to have to just buy a Porterbuilt C4 front section to go with the Vette IRS I aquired a while back..  How about jigging me up one in a shorter wheelbase... ;)

I can make that happen dont kid yourself ;D

I Ordered my Wilwood Pedal assembly and 7/8 Tandem Master Cylinder as well as clutch master. there is tons of info that i read up on about what to go with especially going from power to manual brakes, And what one guy said on a link to Lateral G, "If there is a rod hanging out the side of the car, manual brakes will still come to a stop" and they will work as good if not better than power brakes as long as you have done your line piston and caliper sizing homework

I actually know where one is, but I ain't buying it....  Not because I don't want to....

BTW, I nominate this for the In Progress month, send me a High res picture.

got a few boxes from wilwood



pedals had to be moved toward the seat so i made a box to fit everything and mount the assmblies and fitted it





then somehow after i got them in the measurement was off in the height 2 inches... so i had to cut it back out and decided id do it legit and cut all my driver firewall out


then made a template for the new piece



i also machined off some of the material off the air compressor mounts. i dont need it 1/2 the whole way.. i guess a little weight saving doesnt hurt
