Our new 69C10 project

[scotts72heavyhalf]

Well we decided to remove the ECE disc front brake set up and go with a new set of polished calipers with slotted/drilled rotors from POL and a set of chrome dust covers to broghten up the front.

Here`s a pic of the before and tomorrow we hope the new stuff shows up.

Of course the ECE set-up is for sale on the forum if your intrested.

Thanks

Well finished the new POL brake install, polished aluminum twin puck caliber, sloted and drilled rotors with Early classic chrome backing plates and braded stainless lines and painted my drop spindle and rotor vents and hubs with POR 15, man I love that stuff, now just bleed the brakes this weekend and off we go!

Thanks for the comments, here is a few pics of the 18th scale steel model we finished, had to remoce the upper trim, paint the truck, and interior saddle color, lower it and slam on some 20`s. Lots of fun!

[tommyd241]

What a stunning truck! You and the boys did an outstanding job!

[lolife99]

Cool model.
I bet if you plan it just right,... you can take a picture of your truck and the model, side-by-side. Ha.

Here`s our latest addition, LED parking/turn siginals and LED tail lights and of course a new LED flasher to make them work.

Awesome job, did you powder coat the frame? I'm trying to decide to powder coat or use the masterseries frame paint? I'm hoarding parts for now.

I did blast and powdercoat the frame, it turned out beautiful and so much better than paint, hard to scratch, easy to clean and so nice to have as a starting point and the cost was only $650 complete and it includes all the braces and the A-arms. I will do it again on the next one too!, I also powdercoated the inner fender wells, driveline, rearend and core support, all in satin black. then the totally stainless bolt kit made it go togather very smooth.

[sduckworth13]

Thanks for the info. Great build to follow.

Well, just fine tuning the suspension, we removed the stock power steering unit and replaced it with the variable ratio 13:1-16-1 Super box from AGR, and flushed the system to run Redline full synthetic. now she runs on rails it seems, like a go kart... Gota love it.
