Right now I'm installing Discs, Suspension, Axles, and 20s.
 

I just started my whole conversion process.

I'm installing:
Baer 4-wheel disc brakes
Intro 20 inch wheels
ECE springs
Drop spindles
New ball joints, tie rod ends, and control arm shafts
ECE 5-lug conversion axles
7 inch dual-diaphram booster
Aluminum master cylinder and new brake lines

Here's a couple pics from a few hours ago.

I'll be done in a couple days. Can't wait.

And BEFORE:

Looks great :bowtie:
The old wheels are the same crappy ones i have.....they sure do suck, lol.

You have a sweet truck...keep up the good work :bowtie:

wow your truck is going to look great when it is finished
are those the intro pentia?
whats the specs? they fit great it looks like. what backspacing and width?

Thanks guys. I can't wait to post the AFTER pics.

Dinnut, they ARE the Intro Pentias. The fronts are 20x8 with 4.75" backspace. The rears are 20x9.5 with 5.25 backspace. I'll get the rears in there tonight.

HOLD ON!

Can you give me (PM would be nicer for better record keeping) the info on the brakes/ part number please. You just made stuff go from acceptable to **** just hit the fan i'm going for the full conversion on the the brake system. thanks buddy now i got to spend more money:( :D

Sorry forgot to add...........very nice choice on the wheels and setup:metal:

Alexis, It looks like I do a very good job of breaking my bank AND now breaking someone(you) elses bank.

I'll look up the part numbers. Thanks

Those are going to look sweet, you need to test it and see how many feet for 60-0.
Also is that your shop?

Man that's friggen sweet! Big a$$ brakes inside of 20's.

You rock dude!

Nice set=up and can't beat the dyno roller's either..

You are about to have the same problem as me with rubbing the wheel wells when I hit big dips in the road. You may wanna call D-Tech first and not wait for me. Everything looks real good too.

WOW! Injected68LS1 that is going to bring your truck to life. Post some more pics when you can...:cool:

Man, those wheels and rotors look sweet. Please post some pics when you have a good side shot.

Nik

nice wheels and those brake rotors look great back there...I need some of those:metal:

Wow, that looks amazing! I agree with everybody else, great choice on the wheels, and the brakes look great. I'm not usually a fan of the cross-drilled look, but those look great. The black calipers are a nice touch too. All too often people paint the calipers to match the car and they stand out a little too much. Black with polished letters is fine for me!

Great job, hope the rest of the work goes easy for ya!

thanks for the info. they look great and look like they fit just right!

that looks great! id be interested in some info on the rotors when you get a chance.

Injected68 - I've really been debating on switching to 5 lug, thinking I definately want to do discs but your setup is awesome I think you've assisted in my decisions. Any addtional info and pics are greatly appreciated. Good job, keep us posted

your truck is a 70... 71-72 axles will fit right in that rear just fine with no problems... just to let you know :D

nice ......but i want to show my roters on the rear without spending 250$ a wheel to do so. i like the 5 star rims.who makes em for the poor boys out there?

Thanks. I can't wait to see how quickly it stops. It will be a vast improvement over drum brakes. The shop in the background is at my work. I get to use it after hours and on holidays. It's nice to have all of the right tools, space, and good lighting.

You can buy those 71-72 five lug axles and they'll just bolt right in. But you need to verify that you have the wider rear-end. Some of the 70s came with the narrower rear like the previous years. I would check moser, mark williams, currie, or national drivetrain. Just do an internet search and see who has them on sale.

If you have the shorter rear, you can get some conversion axles from ECE for around $300.

that looks good.
