Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks

Got the brakes all mounted up, made a little cubbyhole, A. So that the master cylinders were on the outside of the firewall and B. I made it tall so that you could fit a bottle of brake fluid inside when its time to fill them. Made it out of diamond plate so it kinda matched the rest of the firewall...

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks

No build thread just a 92 Chevy on Rockwells and a Big Block with 44's, nothing like the SWEET BURB !! It is funny how 44's are small these days and a built 477 still aint big enough!!!!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks

Indeed it has! Without starting a forum war, lets just say, it wouldn't be well received by the masses over there... The dudes on the mud forum would be dropping their jaws though! I just like any kind of build that required talent and ingenuity! Like yours!

Most of those guys should have been rocket scientists, in their own minds. But in reality, they're stuck saying, "Would you like fries with that?'

Rude! I resent that... Although I am usually not the one telling people they are worthless tools that should swallow broken glass and gurgle bleach.

Now, if this was a conglomeration of ghetto-booty-fab and done on the cheap, then yes, I would not be a fan. Due to the fact that everything looks professional and actually planned out, and not ghetto-booty-fabbed, it gets an A+ in my book
