words can't define the job you've done. mine won't be anywhere near this quality I fear....

can I ask what brake kit you used. I was thinking of just doing a c5 conversion upfront but I really want 4-6 pots for that visual aspect.

Q

I converted my brakes from the basic C4 brakes to C6 Z06 brakes. The C4 suspension doesn’t have many options to upgrade. To do the swap like mine you have to buy a bracket kit for the front and a separate aluminum bracket kit for the rear. If you have th early C4 suspension you have some options but mine was from a 1990. My setup was actually cheaper than running all wilwood brakes if the kits were available.

Here’s a couple of pics of the bed floor in progress the night before Lonestar Throwdown. Should get it wrapped up in the next couple of weeks.

Murd969,

Your bed is going to look great! I’m literally about to start assembling my (stock) bed today. I wish I’d pre-fitted it so I could have drilled the mount holes BEFORE I finished the wood -DOH!

How will yours be attached to the frame? Using the stock mounting bolts or some other method?

Kim57 · 04-05-2018, 08:33 AM

Looking real nice.

Love the truck! What did the seats come out of?

They came out of a 04-06 Scion XB. The backs have been cut down.
