Re: Pictures worth sharing.

A Volvo wagon with a Corvette Z06 drivetrain. I painted it, and it was the last car Paul Newman drove in around Lime Rock!

Re: 64 D200 Discs

Here's a pic of my AAJ Install. Mine is a crew cab so the axle is a 3800lb usually found in D300 huge difference in drivability. I also did a power booster from pirate jack.

Re: Mocking up D-200 Disc Brakes

When I purchased it it came with the brackets, bolts, and parts list everything needed to complete the install I wanna say it was 250ish for it. The brake and bearing stuff was pretty cheap.

Re: Motorhome axle with Discs

That definitely looks like 1 ton spindles and steering arms. If your close to it offer him a Hundo and grab it. Even if you don't end up using it I'm sure you could resell it

Re: Windshield

Key word insurance they work for next to free for them and usually give a 50% discount on the glass! Call as just a regular guy looking to have it replaced and see what the quote is. I'm sure you'll be surprised!

Re: Windshield

I just had mine replaced. Unfortunately all that was available was an XYG glass which isn't the best but is better than a cracked one. If you can try to get a PGW or Pilkington they are a better glass. If all else fails there are several sellers on eBay.

Re: (Another) kingpin question

I soaked mine with penetrate oil and used an air hammer they came right out. Are you sure the axle isn't a 3800lb? I thought that was the only one with the pin instead of the bolt. I just did mine rock auto had the moog kit with the bearing

Re: Sweptline Radiators from Champion maybe

The cc1640 dimensions are overall pretty much the same as stock. But the stock radiator has a much shallower lower tank and tapered corners. I have a decent amount of fab work to do! I would say this radiator would be a second option to the cc375 plus I started cutting on mine so I'm kinda committed

Re: Sweptline Radiators from Champion maybe

Definitely keep us posted! I pulled my radiator this weekend and the measurements on mine were very close to the champion CC1640 the only real difference appears it's 1/4 less wide overall. It should be here Thursday so we'll see. The specs are close to the CC375 so if I measured wrong I guess I kno...

Re: New wheels, strange vibration. Please help.

Usually when it's a specific mph range it's a balance issue. First try to isolate the vibration do you feel it in the steering wheel or through out the truck? Then pull the 2 rims most likely off and check for excessive weight. If you find one with a ton of weight have it rebalanced make sure they s...

Re: E-brake conversion

Have you seen the E stop electric brake? It's a frame mounted actuator you attach to the cable. It looks like a good solution speedwaymotors.com has em.
