Close enough....

Well...Well..Well... Trying to call me out.......

I see how this is going to go.... hhmmm.. Lets really see what I said in the october special sale we did.. Shall we....http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...7&postcount=20

To tell you guys the truth, we have not been thinking of doing a sale this spring. We have been busy at the shop with alot of local customers and sales off of another message board..SSHHH....

As I always state, we are an option out of many on the internet.
You guys do know I will gladly tell you replacement part numbers after you have become a customer.
As for a proportion valve. We leave that up to the customer. It is ultimately thier choice how they want their pedal to feal and work.
I have stated before, I have personally installed over 15 kits on vehicles without changing the valve. All of those vehicles are still on the road with happy customers.
I have sold some kits that people have changed out the valve and said it helped.
I will tell you... If you already have brake problems please try to fix that before ordering a kit from us or anyone else. the thought that rear disc would fix the issue seems to not really fix the issue...

Now back to the post at hand.......
I talked with Randy Blackbird, you know.. 'cause were friends

I am not sure how we could do this. He said if there were atleast 5 people from the board SERIOUSLY interested in getting that same type of deal. He would consider doing it for a 1.. I repeat.. a 1 day sale with the crazy business of the shop right now, we can't afford the time to carry longer than that.

So I ask.. If you are serious about getting the "buy a kit without calipers and get free non-ebrake calipers with them" Then Please PM me..
If i get atleast 5 board members by lets say...........Friday........Then would it be safe to say we could make a date for a day next week for the sale.....

Again.. PM me before by midnight Friday night with what type of kit you are interested in...Please only serious customers..

I don't want part numbers or any kind of insider info, but I would like to 'know' & not assume the size of the rear rotors.

Is it possible to share this info?

For which kit?

EDIT:
6 lug is 11 5/32 dia
Of course most 3/4-1 ton kits are a standard chevy 3/4 rotor.. Not all..

go to blackbirds web site, find the rearend you have (probably a 12 bolt) and if we get 5 board memebers to commit, the deal is:

watching to see if this spring sale happens..

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-06-2007, 07:04 PM

It is, look at the post above you, ends tonight

whatnow123 · 04-06-2007, 07:08 PM

Hey Everyone,

This sale ends TODAY at midnight, so if you want this special, go to the sticky at the top of the parts board!!

BTW THANKS DRINK!!!!

BLAZERMAN · 04-06-2007, 07:19 PM

I did this swap when Blackbirds ran the last special, I installed on a saturday afternoon and had it back on the road that nite. Install was a breeze and the only fabricating you have to do is the hardlines to the flex lines and some small brackets to anchor them to the axle tubes. [this is also a good time to replace those axle seals]
I'm really happy with the performance and have had it in ice and snow and the bias is just right with my factory prop valve [this was on my 68 4x4 that is on a 72 chassis so it already had the drum/disc prop valve], I did switch over to a 3/4 booster and coudnt be happier with the kit, ya cant beat it for the price!!

drink2mny · 04-06-2007, 08:31 PM

Thank you for the good words BLAZERMAN(you still can't have my bud light)

I know I said next wednesday would be the sale day, but I found out yesterday I have a lot of traing to get up tight on before my deployment. Then I would be off here for awhile till I got situated over where I will deploy to..

So I bumped the 1 day sale to today ending midnight the 6th or April.
Anyone who is seriously interested in buying a kit from the sale Please PM before midnight. Here is a link to the other page on the actual parts for sale page..
