Great question!

I'd like to know too

 

Man i really want those rims. Those are sick looking. Nice to see it rolling on its own bro. Keep it up

 

Those wheels give it a sick retro style look, badass truck for sure man, still waiting to see that finished product! this has been an awesome thread to follow

 

Thanks guys!!!

The truck is a 5 speed. I don't build slushboxes, lol. I made the pedal assembly. It fits inside the cab and uses heims and a rocker so the booster and master are kind of inside what used to be the cowl and point towards the passenger side. So the brake pedal pulls on a rocker which pushes the rod into the booster. I'm running a factory 1985 booster and stock 92 master. The clutch pedal is to the left of the brake pedal which causes problems since the truck is rhd and the brakes go to the left. so the pedal pivots under the brake linkage but pushed the clutch master which is located slightly above the brake linkage. Maybe this helps??? Here is where I got my inspiration, and mine is just like that except the brake goes to left:

 

wow...can u say HOLY****? thats COMPLICATED! lol....damn i know they make kits like the picture u posted but it costs alot.,

 

Yeah, those kits are like $450. Hence why I made mine. I have like $40 in it with parts from mcmaster.

 

Happy New Year!! Got some work done. I had an "incident" with the truck and had to repaint the fender, and replace the core support, radiator, condensor, and fans. But now everything is painted, and I'm going to work on getting the truck tuned and put back together.

Damn man sick build... Love the wheels. So how much would you charge to narrow a explorer rear end?

 

Moser does all my shafts and I normally charge 150 to do a stripped housing.

Well I figure it is time for an update. Some of you guys may have seen it at ShowFest 2011. I also took it for it's first long trip this weekend. I packed my lunch, grabbed the tool box and hit the road. I put about 100 miles on her but then had some problems with the carb. I left it at my friends house, cleaned up the carb and she's good to go again.

 

Dam i love your truck, from the wheels to the engine, to the inside, do you have any pics of the inside finished. Fpr those of us that didnt get to see it at showfest

 

man ryan i love your truck!

 

Thanks Guys! I'll look for some interior shots.

 

that thing is freekin sick (for lack of better words). so when can we expect to see this on the west coast??

 

Dude... that work is God like. I hated to see the whole fire incident but u brought it back with a vengeance. Badass!

 

Dang man the your interior . Well done all around. thanks for the pics

 

I bet she likes to GO!
I like how you used our Cruise Control steering wheel to use buttons. That's awesome man

 

i just read through your entire build, i cant believe i never noticed this thread until just now, amazing truck man!

 

Thanks guys. Yeah, that wheel didn't work with the feel of the truck, but don't worry. I didn't give up on it yet. This wheel is temporary.

As far as west coast....not sure. I wanted to go to west coast nats, but maybe next year? It was shot for Street Trucks so that will probably make it out first.

Thanks again for the kind words guys!
