Yeah, damn ford rescue messin up our plans. Lol
Had a great time.
Update- Didn’t have any luck with their phone based customer service so I wrote an email stating I wasn’t very happy right now. Got an email back the next day asking where they should mail me correct spacers. Thank you very much. I believe the email was from the national accounts director. Something as simple as some 20 cent spacers should not have to go that high up the chain. But hey, now I’m happy and I won’t bash them.
Supposedly an old Post Office just outside Beatty
It looks like they added the wooden section later as it has some insulation and romex in that part.
I just picked up the brake calipers for the 60 build.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
Dem sum big squeezers
I like those better than the style on my Dually 60, they have that weird slide that gets hammered in and only single piston. Are these a stock replacement for yours?
Not stock replacement. I am using brackets made by torqmotorsports that lets you run ‘09 up Ram 3500 brakes. Frikin beefy..
Hmm I'll definitely have to put that on my want list for down the road!
It’s going to be a crying shame to paint these beauties
I agree with @Desert_K5 clear em!
According to the torqmotorsports brake swap info, you have to machine down the outer diameter of the wheel hub for the rotor to slide over. I was going to use that to center the rotor. Well, the new forged srw hubs I have are already a smaller diameter than the i.d. of the new rotor. Looks like I need to buy or machine some hubcentric rings....
We should split a lathe.... or a Haas cnc
Did the studs end up centering the rotors on the new hubs? Or did you need to make some rings to do it?
