Re: Project Picacho

Thanks guys!

I wasn't able to get everything done in time for the Nov. GG show, so once I realized it wasn't going to happen I would just be doing a lot of double work - I just said - screw it!

So it is already late Jan. and I want to get some stuff done on this truck!!!!

MY NEW AND IMPROVED PLAN!

-Porterbuilt Staqe 2 Rearend - probably economy version
-4 wheel Disc brakes - been looking at the CPP 12" rotors with the Wilwood - D52 calipers.
-Frontend - I haven't totally decided if I am going to keep and rebuild the stock arms and go cups/plates - or go with the PB tubular arms.

Either way my goal is to have this thing rolling on air bags prior to March 11th.

Anybody have any advice/input with:

Stock arms running bags vs. tubular arms?

Brakes - I really like the look of the Wilwoods - but not to sure about losing that ebrake?!?!?

Love to hear any input! Thanks Ronnie

Look - its a 6 lug 72!!! - Switched 6 lug over so I could wheel her around!
