Delmo · 09-20-2010, 09:08 PM

LOL ya it's the e brake. You wouldn't believe how good it works.

kvn1011 · 09-20-2010, 09:17 PM

that is a slick idea!!
awesome truck too!

jonzcustomshop · 09-20-2010, 11:13 PM

like that idea!

narx66gmc · 09-20-2010, 11:14 PM

that idea is awesome! now, where did i put that ebrake lever....

creep · 09-20-2010, 11:44 PM

Wow, that's creative! I wanted to do something similar with the e-brake from my truck. It had a tranny mounted e-brake with a lever through the floor.

**Captainfab** · 09-21-2010, 12:32 AM

That's really a cool idea. So which way is park, all the way down or up?

Delmo · 09-21-2010, 01:19 AM

All the way down for park, ratchets up into gear. Drive is only a couple inches from it's down position. I didn't even have to drill any holes, used the original holes for the ebrake cable. just a simple bracket for the cable housing.

edflores · 09-21-2010, 01:28 AM

Forgive me if I steal that idea... Very creative.

sams60gmc · 09-21-2010, 01:36 AM

Super cool!

sweet picture man. Its gonna be my background.

Coming along awesome.....looks great

Dinos63 · 09-21-2010, 10:59 AM

Delmo is this truck drivable already?

Delmo · 09-21-2010, 11:11 AM

Pretty close, just need to wire it and break in the engine. The accuair needs to run its set up but I don't think that takes long.
Looks like an AZ trip might be in order.

Dinos63 · 09-22-2010, 12:44 AM

Yes It do!!! Still need the plug for the engine harness? I am busting some butt to get sub out to goodguys i told nate he is welcome to drive it out

Delmo · 09-22-2010, 11:15 AM

Very cool, we might have to BBQ somewhere that weekend. I'll PM ya with my address, could use that plug. Thanks man.

Delmo · 09-25-2010, 01:43 PM

Correct, I have pinion angle where I would like ride height to be. Until I drive it and determine where it steers and rides best I won't nail down a premanent ride height and set pinion angle to suit. I would like ride height to have rockers about 2.5 inches from the ground but we will see I guess. The rear shaft ended up being pretty short the way the driveshaft shop put the slip joint together so I'm hoping it doesn't give me any issues. I'll get some angles and measurements from my set up soon.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-26-2010, 01:20 PM

Damn nice build glad sam pointed me in this direction....

64shortc10 · 09-27-2010, 12:31 AM

Delmo,
Any updated pics of the truck since you finished it? Do you have any pics of the driveshaft?

Delmo · 09-27-2010, 01:14 AM

I'll get some pics of the shaft tomorrow. Going to start on the bed wood this week.
Man I love that Accuair.

Delmo · 09-29-2010, 03:10 PM

Here is the pic of the driveshaft you wanted, hope this helps. Also an update.

Cut 2 5/8 out of the wheel wells and built a structure to put some wood back in. Broke in the engine and bled the brakes. Wired up some cheapy gauges and got the ligts workin. This thing is almost ready to drive.

Delmo · 09-29-2010, 03:12 PM

Some more crappy pics.

SCOTI · 09-29-2010, 03:26 PM

Sick!

db65 · 09-29-2010, 04:28 PM

Looks Great!!!! BTW how fast does that compressor fill your tanks? I've never seen one of those before, where did you find it?
