holy cow man this build rocks

I just had a chance to go through it from start too last post. Rus you're killin it! Don't want to jack you thread, but did your PB step notch index off any of the existing holes in the frame, basically wondering if it is self explanatory. Again man great work, and I know I'm a lot late on it but congrat on the little bundle of joy!

Rusbuilt · 12-06-2013, 10:38 PM

Yes PB indexes everything off of existing holes in the frame. Will you run trailing arms or a 4 link?

moose1008 · 12-06-2013, 11:18 PM

Trailing arms, similar to Dino's first dually.

Rusbuilt · 12-07-2013, 08:03 AM

Cool you shouldn't have any problems, the notches are centered using the bed mount hole closest to the axle (in front of the axle) and if you run PB's trailing arm crossmember it will bolt into the factory location. Its not hard it just takes a little time! I'm looking forward to your progress!

**CC69Rat** · 12-07-2013, 10:55 AM

Just checking in. Great progress! I need to ride up one weekend.

Obviously, we need a December and possibly January work day on this thing. I know December is a busy month, but we need to get to work.

Rusbuilt · 12-07-2013, 03:30 PM

Maybe in January. We need to have a holiday dinner and do like a dirty Santa gift swap for December. Lol

5150 · 12-07-2013, 04:30 PM

Yea, with worthless Ford parts.

Rusbuilt · 12-07-2013, 08:35 PM

I got to mess with the old girl a little today! This would be at ride height.

I also got the drums and backing plates removed so I can install my disc brakes! The brackets are from DIY4X and the are very nice quality, I will run 73-87 3/4 ton 4wd rotors on the rear. There are a few caliper options and I'm not sure which way I will go on those just yet, I would really like to keep a emergency brake but it may not be an option.

Also my buddy Chuck (thelonerife) built me this sweet patina'ed bicycle that matches my truck! Its so sweet!

**CC69Rat** · 12-07-2013, 09:02 PM

Are you going to keep this truck patina'ed up or slick paint, etc.? It would be tough for me to decide.

Bennett68C10 · 12-07-2013, 09:03 PM

Love the ride height pic, what height did you set it at. I'm setting mine up at 5.5". Nice looking bike too.

The truck will stay Patina'ed! Except for inside the cab and the engine bay.

Thanks! The frame under the cab is 5" off the ground.

Rusbuilt · 12-07-2013, 09:12 PM

Chad you wouldn't believe how good it looks when its cleaned up!

shearjs · 12-07-2013, 10:06 PM

Your truck is looking great Rus. It was nice finally getting a chance to swing by your shop earlier in the week. Lot's of good looking work going on in that garage of yours.

Bhelton · 12-07-2013, 10:29 PM

looking good Rus!

JRANGER · 12-07-2013, 10:38 PM

It is awesome!!! Keep up the good work!!! Like all your hanging accessories. You look like you have been organizing stuff and nice banners

Rusbuilt · 12-07-2013, 10:40 PM

Thanks Jeff I've been trying to get things organized. I really need a shop about twice the size lol!

moose1008 · 12-07-2013, 11:05 PM

Hey Rus im running the same disc conversion on my 85 cucv with 3/4 rotors and calipers. I used a line lock kit for my emergency brake kit.

Rusbuilt · 12-07-2013, 11:06 PM

I thought about that but I really like the idea of having a back up cable brake.

moose1008 · 12-07-2013, 11:11 PM

I can dig that, I just throw a rubber chock in the bed if I need added insurance

Rusbuilt · 12-07-2013, 11:20 PM

Lol I'm more concerned about having it while I'm driving!
