What did you do to your truck today?

Today I installed a rear disk brake conversion on my 66 step side

linkbeltOE,
So how did the disc brake installation go? Fairly easy, or did you have to make a "few" adjustments? Inquiring Minds want to know? I also want to ad rear discs in the future.

markeb01,
Thanks, and yes if it was one degree off I would have cut the pedal off and rewelded straight or stuck it in the vice with a little heat and give it a little tweak. Like you said stuff that isn't square & plumb just irks me to no end. I also tend to notice the little stuff. That's how I saw what doobiebro did with his brake pedal. He posted a picture of his interior and I noticed his modern brake pedal. I asked him how he did it and he told me. The people on this site are the best.

MisterC,
Thank you too. As stated before I stole the idea from doobiebro. I'm not smart enough to think of stuff like this on my own, but I have no problem stealing other peoples ideas. I'm just glad everyone on this site is so willing to share. I have learned so much, yet the more I learn, the more I realize I don't know squat.

Installed the throttle cable and set the bed in place.. Took off the inner fenders from another donor truck and started to mock them up to fit the frame and bigger radiator.

Then I did a little "grass slinging" in the back yard. I almost fell off my bucket!!!

Looks like fun. When I was 16 I actually did fall off a barrel while hanging donuts in my 47 Chevy coupe in the street right in front of the house. Thankfully I was nimble and scrambled to the brake pedal and stopped the car with my hands, stalling the engine! The car stopped inches from the neighbors 49 Buick. I didn’t get caught, but it was the last time I did anything that stupid!

Well, I did it twice, so I didn't learn the first time...
