Ryan,
My dad has been working on the peterpilt pickup idea for about 20years That is about the time he channeled the cab

The cab is a early to mid 40s with the vents on the cowl and is narrower than the next generation.The radatior shell is steel so it will be easy to modifyinto a core support.He had a piece of 10 guage bent up to make longer sides so the shell will look taller and cover the front of the frame.
The front axle is that he will use is a 5" drop out of a1ton GMC bread truck.
The front fenders will be the flat radiused off highway style.
I am glad He is getting going on it for 2 reasons
it is cool! And I will get my axles and other parts for my 72 project

Has anyone tried running H1 master cylinders? H1's have 4 wheel discs on GM truck hydroboost. I see them on eBay often. Was thinking trying that on my burb.

There is a split on the Corvette masters with the later ones having a shallow indent for the push rod. I bought one for a 77 Corvette and a 1 1/8 bore and it works great with plenty of reservoir capacity.

Edit: I'm finally building my 68's D60 (after driving my Nova on snow/ice I decided to get my butt in gear) so if you can PM me your address I'll ship the GM D60 arm down to IA.

Do you have a build thread on your nova, or more info? I have 64 that is getting a 250 and a t5.

I decided to go ahead and add speed warning to my truck. Here are pics of the cluster now. I've got a new bezel coming, and I have a new lens being modified for it. It should add to the cool factor a bit.

If my gauge cluster looks upside down like that it would be a speed warning for me too.

It appears right side up for me.

Beat68CST · 11-27-2012, 12:18 AM

Would you be kind enough to post some pics and measurements of your hood latch setup?!

I have been waiting for you to master this part for awhile. :P

But on a high note! I bought a billet input and DTT Stage 2 rebuild kit for my 47RH!

By the way, I still need one of them classy diesel tachs!

68burbanontherocks · 11-27-2012, 11:33 PM

Ryan, i just got through reading your thread... what a piece of crap.

We put this back outside so we can get a couple of customer trucks in. It looks pretty sweet sitting there.

mcbassin · 11-29-2012, 05:10 PM

Looking good Ryan!

wutnxt · 11-29-2012, 06:40 PM

I am thinking about making my BB 93 crewcab dually into a swap project. Does someone make a kit for that swap ....I thought if anyone knew you would.....lol

watahyahknow · 11-29-2012, 07:09 PM

might just do a front rollpan instead of a bumper should be eazy to bend up sumtin from a strip of sheetmetal

6lcummins · 11-29-2012, 08:23 PM

He will more than likely end up with a bumper similar to this... Possibly..

I don't think these guys have a kit, but it's the best parts on the market to do it. They have engine mounts, cross members (where needed), a/c comp brackets, pulleys, tach adapters, and all kinds of stuff. www.autoworldmt.com 406-727-8915 Ask for Dawna.

That sure would look cool, but the deer will go right through that.
