Hows the one in Ca compare? I was thinking about moving. Place up north called WeedSounds like a nice town. Maybe give up construction and start farming. Or maybe teaching I do have a teaching degree.

Re: Daverods project 66

The house here is 1800 st. Just right for only 2 of us. It's a newer house to and much nicer on a full acre. Vegas was only half acre. We paid cash for it, but took a loan to build the shop and remodel the bath. Got a very low house payment. Remember i'm supposed to be retired. Yeah right

Re: Daverods project 66

hope everyone has a great new year .
about the shifterknob if it gets too cold to touch maibe its an idea to dip it in bedliner , get it covered in rubber at least .
if you dip it in red/chevy orange and detail the machined surfaces of the cam in silver (or silver and detailing the low bits in red so it dont rub off ) people can still see wat it is , never seen a shifter like it and i like the idea

Re: Daverods project 66

Got sick of sanding on my truck. Thought I would change out my upper and lower ball joints. One was bad, I think that is what was causing my high speed wobble. Did'nt get to crazy cleaning, this summer I'm putting lower spindles and disks. When all else fails get the BFH. Have to wait till weds to get the lower ones. Might have to clean and paint.

Re: Daverods project 66

Dave, ya know since the front end is already apart ,Now is an EX-cellant time to just put on the disc brakes............ it will save you having to tear apart those new ball joints and having to pay for alignment twice..



When you get that done ,you can go back to sanding and Love it!

Re: Daverods project 66

he does have a point , diskbrakes would improve the braking a lot , not sure anymore but i think you need to change the mastercylinder too or the calipers wont loosen again after braking , ask someone who done that more recently

Except drop spindles and disks/cal. are about 600 plus the brake cylinder. It easy to tear apart I'm going to have to wait. Does it wreck the ball joints when you take it apart?

I don't do a lot of braking. I'm more of a gas it guy. Drop it in first and pop the clutch it brakes.

Re: Daverods project 66

it shouldnt ruin the balljoints to have to loosen them again
just loosen the nut and use a tire iron or small crowbar put tension on the arm away from the spindle and hit the side of the spindle holding the balljoint with a hammer , the shock is enough to pop it (dont hit the baljoints on the loosened nut or you ruin the treads keep the nut on so you dont hit youreself in the face when it pops off)
there is a change you damage the rubber dustcaps on those balljoints pinching them with the crowbar but with this way there's actually less chance you ruin them compared to a balljoint puller , but i understood you can get new covers to replace them for verry little cash

"Dont hit youreself in the face when it pops off" Good point. I'll try and remember. You know what they say about short term memory. Just like all the rest, it's all bull. Unless u live in Rexburg.

Re: Daverods project 66

A disk brake setup yanked from a 79 Chevy truck set me back $150 total and it already had a recent brake job.
I used a non-power master cylinder and the original proportioning valve for the truck and it works great.
Search CraigsList and you could find a donor truck for all you suspension and braking needs for that same $600 you would pay for the drop stuff....
I saw drop spindles on C/L for $185.
Patience and resourcefulness pays off big when you dig for deals and your not in a rush to "just get it going"...
