Well got on rear brakes on driver's side. Put new cylinder in and started putting the new shoes on and wasn't lining up right. Then compared with old ones and new ones are too wide. ****! That's OK I'll return them because those old ones still have a lot of pad left.

Got them all back together right at dark. New cylinder and springs.

This thread with chengy's superb pictures on where everything goes. It's old af but, still a lot of help.

Finished installing the new seat belts. The latch belts were all to long so that's why you see them with knots tied in them. Before putting the knots in them the latch would be in front of the stomach and were very uncomfortable. Now they're down on the side where they should be.

Do you have a YouTube channels with a few videos of that truck? It looks like one I saw a kid do a few videos on about redoing interior and a few other things.

I'm trying to decide how I want my tails. Can I see a shot of the truck on the ground you standing looking at it from say 20ft from the side and rear. Trying to decide on that placement or at a 45 angle also angled at the ground like that.
Yeah man, I’ll try to get some over the next couple days. Dropped it off with the tuner and the fuel pump has quit, so I’ll be trouble shooting that tomorrow. Hoping to drive it to a show this weekend, so it’s gonna be a thrash

Good looking truck. The white cab roof really makes that older cap seem at home. And that blossoming tree makes for a great pic.;)

yeah i've noticed he's been saying that, but why haven't i heard this before? Is it actually something you can run?
Lol, yeah you can run it.
I’ve been running 15-40 in every 4 stroke engine I own for a bunch of years. Except the Triton V8 in our kids mustang. Those engines have really small oil galleries and I keep it to the reccomended 5-20.
Everything from my 12,000 rpm 450 race bike engines running rotella T6 to the 454 in the K20 with Valvoline blue Dino oil. Mowers, boat with a 350 Chevy, wife’s SRT 8. All 15-40.

Feel pretty good about my alignment capability.I was 1/2 a degree off spec according to the computer at Alignment Shop.

I can read a tape

who did you get that from and will it fit a Dana 44, looks like yours is a 60?

I as well.
I want them to be like how I had them on my old Nova.
Just peeking out from under the truck.
This looks to be a pretty close to what I am thinking.

Here is the Nova for reference...
