77 The Black Truck "Ratbag"

Overview Gallery Discussion
Wierd, I thought they phased out the ff in 3/4 tons in the 80s. Of all I've owned and seen they were s.f's.

Could have been swapped to being these things are 30 years old :haha:

So you stripping the parts rig completely? Or?

Hydraboost is da shiz :waytogo:
 
I've never seen an 80's 3/4 with a full floater. That doesn't mean GM didn't do it, but I have never seen one.

Dude, that would look so nice in the back yard next to the old wooden wagon...:waytogo: Think about some flower pots where the frame mounts are...cut the top off the gas tank for a little Koi pond...



The possibilities are endless...:D




Keepin' it classy...... :pimp:

Got the axles under the truck.

Went and picked up a conversion joint from NAPA yesterday #348 1310/12b to 1350/14b

Thanks for the part numbers Martin and 78SWB! :waytogo:

Haven't bled the system yet...now the axles came from a truck with hydroboost. I will swap in the hydro but I want to do that when I change over the column and peddles to make it a standard.

So...Hydro fluid is different than regular brake fluid right?

Do I need to flush all that old stuff out???
 
Nope. The hydro boost system is separate from the brake system. It just takes the place of the vacuum booster.

don't clean it up yet, you need a reference pic "before"...:whistle:

Neers!
