Re: Attempting my first build 72 K5
Ok guys, I have just a small update here.. But stay tuned, I'm about to get some real progress done this weekend.
I ended up ordering a set of new leaf springs (front and rear) from generalspringkc.com. I might as well.. I've decided to go all out!
I also ordered a rear disc brake conversion kit that I ordered through ScottHotrods.. I probably could've saved a few bucks going through Summit, but after talking with their main tech guy, I was sold on their customer service. Customer service is a huge value to me and they'll be there to help out if I have any problems with the install. The kit includes Wilwood calipers, disc brakes, adapters, parking brake lines/kit.. basically a straight bolt on.
I had my hub powder coated gray and requested they put a clear coat on it because I heard this will help last longer and is more resistant to scratches.
I pressed in the new studs into the hubs and painted the leaf springs.
Installed all new races seals and bearings, too.
