Time to show the shop truck some love! We got a rear disc brake conversion to give it some extra stopping power. We took this time to also replace the pads up front and do some other general maintenance. Jason 3d modeled a mounting panel for the air ride controller to sit on the ashtray so that its not loose and then printed it on a 3d printer. Next up on the list is an Engine Swap so get ready for that one!
Thanks for watching and see you next time!

PARTS
1968 C10 Brake Kit for 5 lug rear end - https://www.summitracing.com/parts/clp-6772rwbk5e?rrec=true

So so the c10 vid coming at you, it's been a really long time since we've done maintenance. Besides an oil change to this thing, so probably the next couple videos, this truck is going to get some sweet. Uh modifications upgrades changes, it's going to be rad to do that, job, we're going to upgrade to some disc brakes, which will be really sweet. It has all the stuff in there.

I just think they haven't been maintained. Well and probably the break shoes are totally worn out, but we'll be fixing this we're going to kind of do a half how to half just follow us along video hope you all enjoy it and i think the truck's gon na enjoy it as well. Ah, ah good shape just kidding. Let's graduate get this like two threads in oh yeah, hey that ain't bad.

You know what so oh yo guys this has posing traction, which is super rad you'll, get a good look at it. I've actually never pulled the pin on a 12 volt though, so i suppose the key is you don't want to rotating too much once your pins out? What there she is. It's work, i know, put the rag under it. Beef little axle right.

There looks good. That's pretty loud, okay, 20 foot pounds and that will conclude the torque sequence. I guess the only problem with 12 bolts is that there's 12 bolts that took a while sweet. So the kit comes with these awesome kind of grade 8.

Looking brackets here super sweet, so we kind of got everything ready for them, so now they can just be installed as well as the backing plates uh. I suppose it if you sandwich your uh thing, it'll keep your the flange on the differential, all nice and pretty so get these tightened down. We got our 5x5 brake discs in so these are super cool, they're kind of vented and stuff that look real nice back here there we are sweet and then we have our caliper, that's pretty simple. All there is to it is to go in i'm not going to i'm not going to go with the anti-seize and stuff.

I think it'll be okay, considering this is all brand new, but i might be wrong and then it'll be my problem later. So so, while dana's working on the truck, this is something we've been wanting to do for a really long time. We have the air right controller and it's just been kind of like hanging loose in the truck and we didn't want to like 3m tip it or anything. Just because you know it's like sticky and stuff like that.

So what i've been working on is making a cad model for this new 3d printer. We just got for christmas, so our plan is to just mount this against the ashtray. The thing is, the ashtray isn't really completely flat, so we had to you know contour the back piece of this to fit around it, and then we have to make some rivet holes. So here's here's my cab model of it.

So we have everything kind of just rounded out: oh it's kind of laggy, so yeah we have everything rounded out, so it looks nicely and then we have to have you know. Rivet holes set in on here a place for the cord to go, and just everything has to be within point zero or one thousandths of an inch. So everything fits really nicely and there's no rattling or anything after a lot of prototyping. The mount is finally done.
So it just fits up really nicely pretty snug against the ash tray and then the controller is basically like a friction fit inside of here. It definitely won't fall out and we have two or these rivet holes in the back, so the rivets will just set in right. There and it'll attach really nicely yeah. That's not going anywhere.

That's super safe dude! Look at that flush, finish yeah, so we won't feel all these. We won't be sad. We won't be able to use these two top mounts because the it's just too big the rivet gun - i didn't think about it when i was modeling it, but it will be fine right, yeah like that, is perfect whoa. That's this and you can put your cigarettes out in there.

We have here is a 1969 c10 parking brake, it's funny, uh, 67 and 68. I believe had a lever right here and then all other years had this traditional foot pedal. So i opted to go for the traditional foot pedal, although in doing so, we had to do a little bit of fab work. All i had to do was drill a hole here and drill two holes in the firewall, and then we have our parking brake cable.

Here and to get this to fit, there's a square grommet. So what we did is we drilled four holes and used a file to make a square? I think it turned out all right. I wish we had a better tool to kind of punch squares into a sheet metal, but that's what we got. So that's what we did our parking brake is in.

You know the assembly itself. I actually ran all the lines off camera. It's pretty simple! It's not exactly stock 68 truck, but we got kind of close as we could. It's missing a couple brackets, but you know we use cables a lot with our like carts and stuff.

So i just kind of made it so it'd work using the cpp kit and then using this 69 pedal, we've adapted, but you know i'll i'll, put b rolling of all these shots, but the cables go up from here. They go down, run along the frame and then just go right back to the calipers and then they're both joined together and we use some barrel. Clamps i'll show you all that stuff, but here it is working it just kind of clamps in i think any old break would locks them up real nice and then easy money, so flick all right set it down all right. Let's see how these brakes work.

So it's a new day brakes are done. We put on dog dishes too, so it looks pretty sweet. Let's uh test it out, see how everything works. They work guys.

So we're about to go. Do the brake test, but i just wanted to show you this thing fully installed. It's actually really solid. It's super on there pretty nice looking and you know just press some buttons and we're going up so good right brakes work.

Gas works. I think we're pretty good. Um, thank you all for watching, see you next time truck got a little bit of love, so it was a fun one.

    FYI, You were interesting and attractive doing small engine projects. Moving into full sized cars and or trucks is a different audience. I'm not interested any more.

    Hello young fellows greetings from regina canada I love your cart and scooter hauler when you do have to do pads on the rear you will need a tool that turns the piston as you press it in I do not think it alot of money about 30 dollars.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Snugglez says:

    ALWAYS use plenty of anti-seize and brake grease. You'll hate yourself later if you don't. I've learned that lesson…

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Erwin says:

    Absolutely amazing, I mean how many people can order off the shelf parts and bolt them on? I have no idea how in the world you guys manage it.

    I hope you didn't use PLA for your mount. PLA wont hold up inside a hot car.

    Should get a air saw great for square or any shape holes

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kartsforcash says:

    keep it up guys

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars fryrear technology says:

    That is one of the smartest upgrade to make to any vehicle. You can make it faster easily but you best make it stop first. I love doing the duel rear caliper setup so you could have a fun handbrake in addition to your brakes for some side way action. What a nice old truck, I love manual transmission. Them old small block chevy's can make some good reliable power cheaply too. I punched one out too a 383 stroker put a high rise twin 4 barrel double pumper carburetor with a filter popping out above the hook on my old truck. It'd lift the front end if I put sand bags so the rear could hook up. Keep up the great work!

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Kanipe says:

    This could help since i have a 54 buick special

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tampa Boys Customs says:
