I don't mean to try to change your mind about what you want to do with your truck, but when I add the cost of the spring bushings and shackles, the king pin set, the disk brake upgrade, and the p/s upgrade, It would have gone a long way toward a Scott's or other MII front end. I have it on my truck but now wish I'd gone in a different direction. I recommend against using the CPP power steering kit that uses a Chevy box though. One thing leads to another when you start upgrading, LOL. To me the worst part of the brake upgrade was replacing the brake lines but you probably should do that also. I used CPP kits and love the way my trucks stops. If you are definitely going to keep the straight axle you might as well go ahead and do the power disk brake upgrade while you have it apart to do the king pins. These trucks didn't originally have a crossmember back there where the brake m/c mounts. Gator, You don't have to worry about the crossmember clearance if you are keeping the original tranny. Does anyone have insight to that?Īs always, you all have an immense amount of knowledge and any help is appreciated. It also says it may interfere with transmission cross member. I don't necessarily need/want the booster though. New bearings, discs, brackets and master cylinder with booster. I've considered biting the bullet and going with this kit from CPP. Does anyone make a bracket to add a simple dual reservoir master cylinder in the stock frame mount location? In the future, I'd like to move towards disc brakes in the front. I also figured I might as well upgrade to tapered roller bearings while I'm fixing the king pin issue. I would like to have some dual reservoir master cylinder for some safety. All just to get the truck up and running for the nice weather. Second, my master cylinder blew out, no brakes whatsoever. Yes I need new tires, but after further inspection my front wheels rock back and forth, top to bottom. it seems as though overnight my truck developed this TERRIBLE wobble where the steering wheel shakes back and forth.
