whopman,ya I'm kind of curious to see the difference I've been driving it for the last year and a half and my brakes were working great no pulling or fading so I can't wait to see the diff ,and get on the road again she's been in the shop for the last 5 weeks. Bill

WOW!!! the chrome looks GREAT

Those rings look great.Well bumper too.Was that local?

Oooooo-weeeee! Pretty!

Bill, what did it cost ya to have the bumper and rings chromed?

Dan

Wow! Kinda expected it wouldn't be cheap. Man it sure looks nice!!!

B.W.

Picked up the van and it drives great,The disk brakes are fabulous .The only real modifications on the install were making a bracket to mount the bottom of the shock on top of the axel and mount the top to one side with a llitle hardware and had to move the sway bar back a little. Bill

Bill whats next on the list (we all have lists)

next on the list,
new front tires changing from 195/65/15 to 205/60/15
correct steering wheel adapter to get turn signal cancel working
shocks are new but I want gas shocks on it
start on a headliner before anything else on the interior
Bill

Bill,I know your happy as hell to see that disc behind that Cragar wheel now.Like your setup.

Nightmoves thanks,I wasn't going to do the disk set up yet but the shop that did my rearend and rear brakes talked me into it(ha ha)I needed front brakes and wanted the dual master cyl so I thought what the hell and did the disks. the system truly works fabulous and I am very pleased.it stops smooth! Bill

Bill It looks great. It's a good feeling to know it will stop when you want it to.

One more thing to check off the list put 205/65/15 inch tires on the front ( were 195/65/15) made a nice difference in the ride. Bill

You've got a super sharp ride all way 'round there Bill ! Love the chrome up front and wondering what your running for headlights?

Digz here are the headlights. Bill

Bill...How's the height of your pedal, after the disc install?? Any details??
B.W.

B.W. The pedal height is great after a 45 minute brake bleeding session (with 3 guys) had a ton of pedal.Freind that did the install is on vacation till next week so when he gets back I will get some part #s .Install was very straight foreward main modtfications were relocating the shocks and swaybar but those are real easy mods. The throttle cable set up they did works fantastic. Bill

After a coupkle of months and some road time with the disc brakes they are fantastic even a couple of unplanned panic stops and all is welll very glad I did them.I haven't gotten my bill yet ( for the brakes)but when I do I will post some parts #s and stuff.Got the wiring in the back of the van cleaned up ,so now onto the headliner and start on the interior,I can't wait to start insulating and boxing in the back! Bill

Bill....you said they had to adjust the sway bar to clear ....did the relocate it forward on the frame to clear the shock relocation?

whopman we had to move it back a little,it was to close to the new master cylinder. Bill

Great shot of it Thanks !
