Which master cylinder and booster are you using with a proportional valve for 4 wheel disc converted 40’s?

City Racer Booster.

Non ABS 80 master

Wilwood Prop valve.

@Racer65 sells all of it

Sniper inbound…if you’re “done for the day” I have no chance. I’ll make the Project Wrong Way guy look like a master mechanic

I have a step-by-step in a thread called “Texas Reds” that still holds water. I check it from time to time to make sure I’m not leading folks
astray

Bingo. Thanks Nolan

Builds - Texas Reds - The Tale of Two Red 40’s

I stalled out when I realized I did not have any normal height greaseable shackles. The ones one the truck are 5” eye to eye. Stock are 3”. The OME greaseable are 3” so that keeps your caster good. This truck, not only has 3” taller springs in the front, it also has the aluminum caster shims...

I used this recently when installing my sniper and it is very helpful overall. Mainly in the gas pedal modifications. Only use the indian head if you are chasing air leaks.

Made a couple edits today. Agree on the Indian Head. Rescue only.

Good morning. Wired it all up in the engine bay and got the Lokar cable hooked up. This style pedal makes it super easy.

 

[wngrog]

Got the fuel pumps and lines all wired up and plumbed into the truck.

The Wizard came over to put the exhaust above the skid plate while I had it all cut up.

Can’t leave anything alone.

 

[wngrog]

Looks better above the skid plate.

Nice and clean

Realized I had forgotten to replace the slave so I did that.

Next I bled the clutch and slave. It’s so nice to have a single cap system and a Motive bleeder.

Then I timed it and adjusted the AFR and took him for a spin. Safe to say top speed is no longer 60 mph and the brakes will put you through the windshield.

 

[wngrog]

Alright. I think I feel good about saying this one is ready to sell.

I put 100 hours in this project and $12,000 in parts. Add that to the price I paid and it’s $35,000

I’m going to make a For Sale thread here on Mud and list it for $38,000 so some slap stick can feel good that they beat me down to $35,000

I’ll post a link to the FS thread here when I do it.

Moe is sold.

Now I get nervous.

I start looking at this thing and making sure I represented it 100% honestly.

The main thing I can find is the leaking manual steering box. I went to the Tilda Bogue graveyard and pulled the box off the 78 parts truck. I’m sending it to Redhead tomorrow for a once-over

I’ll keep looking. It heads west in 6 days

Nolen - Wanted to say thank you by including the two mutts for your artistic version of Moe!

Look forward to seeing you soon.

Happy Holidays!

 

[wngrog]

Awesome

I’ve been trying to find an excuse to go to Colorado for some time.

I have a hardtop cap for @cbmontgo and @RustyNailJustin has a 2F for me.

I’m pre-loaded because it was 60 degrees today and won’t get out if the 20’s until I head out to deliver Moe Green and then do some cruiser friend visiting in and around Colorado.

Weather looks great starting on Christmas Day so I’m looking forward to seeing some snow and some Cruiser friends. New and old.

It was not happy about it but I went and cranked Moe Green over this morning.

It was 20.

Yesterday it was 2℉ in the morning. Even with the block heater, the diesel wasn't exactly happy about "getting up and going"...
