Those 36's will look too small on that nice looking K5. I think you need to go bigger and I'll take those little things off your hands

Having some questions on brake lines

Ill post pictures later, update is the the axels are under the truck. Just trying to figure all the brakes out

 

[HINZ28]

Decided to go with a rear disc brake conversion after fining out my drums were not worth rebuildiing. The front tires should be on the new axel by tomarrow. Waiting on some diy4x4 caliper brackets for the rear.

Test fitting the 36s before tearing the rear drums off

 

[HINZ28]

Saturday night i set in back down on all 4 and drove again. Heres the list of what I ended up getting done

3/4 ton 10 bolt front 4:56 gears
GM14FF Rear with 4:56 gears
DIY Shackel flip
Rear disc brake converion
All new brakes Rotors/pads/lines/calipers
Steering arm and drag link
Rebuilt the rear hubs with all new seals and bearings
36/12.5/15 Super Swampers Irocs

Before

After

Buddy has some farm land sw of lincoln, theres a creek that splits the land, we always have to make it a challenge to get across. When its dry its not a problem but after 3" of rain yesterday it made it almost imposible for us

I feel like i dont have much for rear brakes, i realize new brake need a little break in time. Will a propotioning valve help me or do i need a bigger master cylinder a long with this?

You sure all the air is out of them?

 

[HINZ28]

I'm gona bleed them again here soon. Right now I'm running the stock lines in the rear that are way to long. So those will be getting replaced

 

[80' 427]

I am going to run front hoses and tie them in with short pieces of steel line.

 

[HINZ28]

I'm running front hoses I just need to make a shorter steel line

 

[82355]

Yeah, my Suburban has front hoses. I would try bleeding it better. Know anyone that has a power bleeder? They will pump all of the air through the system.

This needs updated

Actually havent done a lot to it latley other than wheel it to its limits.Its held up very well

Here are some pictures, I have added some body damage

 

[HINZ28]

Coming soon

*Body mounts and 1" lift
*D44 4.88s
*Lock right in the D44
*Spool in the 14B & 4.88s

Should have never painted the white wheels black, plan now is silver with rings and NBS caps

Need to find some donor doors at some point since my passengers window no longer works. Vent window is shatterd on the drivers

For being a certified welder and knowing people with welders for some reason i still have no bumpers and recovery spots.....

Also need to do a full trim on the front fenders

I like all of that.

If you need glass, I have a pile of doors sitting here.

[HINZ28]

Guessing regulators mount different in manual window doors? should be able to make them work tho. I may have to come get some

 

[78SWB]

I like this idea you have with the wheels.

 

[HINZ28]

Picked up a dana 44 with 4.88s and a lock-right. Have to pull the broken short inner and outer out and replace them, then remove theses stupid axle flanges and replace them with some lock outs

 

[HINZ28]

4.88s and lock rite
