Re: Project Picacho
 

Wow your brakes look way better than mine, guess I shouldn't have been so cheap by just painting mine black, should have gotten them powdercoated too.

Re: Project Picacho
 

Awesome !!!

Re: Project Picacho
 

Great looking truck!
I've circled 2 of my favorite shop tools, that I noticed in your picture.

I love the DeWalt 18v flashlight,... and that stuff in the blue can.
Looking forward to more pics.

Re: Project Picacho

Re: Project Picacho

Re: Project Picacho
 

Thanks

Thanks

Hey Jake - I took the fam up there Sunday, it was pretty slow. I talked with a few buddies and they said Sat was "packed"!

I bought rims through HID Solutions - he is the one who had the group buy going on this forum. I didn't go with the group buy - just bout through his website - It took about a month to receive them, but I knew i wasn't in a crazy hurry to get them. Good luck.

You going to have your druck done for Nov?:metal:

Re: Project Picacho
 

Very coool ride!

Re: Project Picacho
 

well i will be waiting;)

Re: Project Picacho
 

Well it looks like a few board members are going up to the "Pavillions" next weekend so I will try and get Picacho up and running to roll up, unless 3 kids on Spring Break thinks otherwise:lol::lol:

What's left to get on the road - for now:

I ripped a rear break dust seal - so I have a new one coming in, once in I will replace.

Tie in rear brake line to axle line - I need a 23" 3/8 steel braided. (any body have any recommendations - company, brand they like?)

Bleed brakes X4

Bump stops for rear - probably just 1" er's

ebrake cables - the one that came with my kit are about 10" to short!!!

Change oil filter over to modern screw on type

Alignment

Rear wheel spacers - since the offset is so much on the Boss 338 - I am going to add an 1" on each side. As is I have 1/2" of room till tires are hitting inner rear fenders - too close!!! (anybody have a recommended company?)

Install new steering wheel

Put bed back on

I think that is it! Maybe if I get a good day in next week and can knock most of it out - I will keep ya posted - Ronnie

Re: Project Picacho
 

lookin awsome! cant wait to see some more!! that orange 72 looks good to me too! lol
